Renting games online is about conveniences and one of those conveniences is being able to rent games from a full catalog of video game titles. This company may provide you with the ability to rent video games along with DVD, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray movies as well, but when you have such a limited choice of both games and movies, that potential distinguishing feature is pointless.

While you may get to choose from a large selection of titles with little to no backordered status from this company, its website interface shows signs of privacy issues that need to be fixed. Add in the fact that it took them a week for this company to ship me games from my queue and you have one disgruntled member. This company’s saving grace is the additional free month of service that sets them apart, but it makes you wonder why the company wastes its potential.

This company has some awesome features that if developed more could propel it into an industry leader. Its website integration with 1up.com shows great promise and really enhances a member’s time on the website. If you want, you don’t even have to rent games, but trade in your old ones and get new games that way. Although they seem to offer an abundant of titles for all consoles and handhelds, most titles have short to long wait status that in a way limits what a member can rent or trade for. If they get a better supply of games, I see little stopping them.

It starts with great customer service and this company seems to realize that often untapped area. Their selection of titles rivals that of the big boys in online game rental even if they don’t carry Nintendo DS titles. They may not have all the features that the other guys do but plain and simple goes a long way. One mishap of sending a game that didn’t work cost them a Brainie, but this is still the game rental company to watch out for. Look out GameFly!
