Gamesfrenzy Game Rental Review
   

Visit Gamesfrenzy Site Despite their simple site design, Gamesfrenzy provide a great service, have a good catalogue of titles, and have plenty of satisfied subscribers, so we're pleased to recommend them as one of our top UK games rental choices.

They have excellent features like top ten charts, new releases, genre browsing, everything you'd expect with the exception of allowing members to review or rate individual games. They also sell off ex-rental games and you can purchase the game you are playing with the 'Keep It' option for 20-75% off the recommended retail price.

Unlike most companies, they also ship titles on Saturdays, which can mean quicker turnaround. Gamesfrenzy are currently offering games for all the major consoles, but not the handhelds. They have a good-sized catalogue of 850 titles, of which there are 250+ game titles for PS2, 180+ for XBox 360, 100+ for the Wii, 120+ for XBox, and 80+ for PS3, and a token 12 for the GameCube.

On the downside, Gamesfrenzy don't offer manuals, but they do point to websites that have them online. Gamesfrenzy also don't offer a free trial, but instead offer a potentially superior 3 months for the price of two to new customers. They will normally get the first games rentals to new members within two working days.

Prices: Gamefrenzy's prices are industry standard for the one game plan, at £9.99, and among the UK's lowest for two at a time for £13.96. Neither package puts a limit on the number of games you can rent in total per month.

Note that the three months for the price of two offer is only available on the 2 games-at-a-time plan. In addition to this deal, if you sign up for the 2-at-a-time package for 3 months in advance you will also get an additional 5 quid discount.

Signed up expecting to get a game at the top of the list, which I wanted, but instead got a game last on the list.I wish companies would make it clear that you won't always get the games at the top of list.

Before I registered with Gamesfrenzy.co.uk, I used Gametart.com, which in my opinion offered a better package, price was very similar, I received games pretty much with the same frequency, 3-4 days turnaround from day of posting a game back to the day of receiving a new one. In terms of website design Gametart.com looks much more professional and is easier to look for game in a particular genre. My main reason to switching was that Gametart.com only did Sony games whereas Gamesfrenzy.co.uk also do GC and Xbox. With both companies it’s quite hard to get the most recent releases, in the 2 months I have been with Gamesfrenzy.co.uk I have received 11 games, 2 of which were very recent releases, Pro Evolution 5 and King Kong. I experience a problem with a game that was faulty, Gamesfrenzy.co.uk sent me a replacement game (although no the same title) the same day, this was very surprising to me as I though they would wait until they received the game back. If you are after Sony games only, I would highly recommend Gametart.com, if you want a company that offers games for other consoles, Gamesfrenzy.co.uk is a more than recommendable company, if you subscribe to the 2 games at a time and pay every 3 months in advance you pay £29.97 for the first 3 months (£9.99 per month) and £39.97 thereafter (£13.30) for a year it works out at £12.50 which is as far as I know the cheapest price you can get for a 2 at a time unlimited game rental. It might be worth trying Swapgame.com because they also do GBA and DS and in general they seem to have a broader range of games.

Compared with Gamestogo (ok), Mchezo (pretty bad), and Gametart (great), I've found GamesFrenzy to be pretty good. Their turnaround has been very quick, and although they don't seem to have as many PS2 titles as Gametart do, they've had everything that I wanted. Overall I'll probably settle with Gametart because it costs the same and the choice os better, but I'd still recommend these guys.
