Mchezo went out of business, but we're keeping the review as it was for posterity.
Mchezo offers games for PS2, XBox, Gamecube and XBox 360, and will be offering PS3 titles as soon as they become available. The website is user-friendly with games arranged under tabs for each console. Recommendations include lists of most popular, new releases top rated, and coming soon.
The search engine can limit titles by console too and there are ten genres to browse for inspiration. They call your rental queue a GameQ, which can have up to 50 titles at any one time. They also offer gift subscriptions which must be used within a year, an excellent Christmas/Birthday present for a gamer.
The site browsed a bit slow for our tastes when visiting, but hopefully this is not a regular occurrence. In short, it looks like an okay service, but not much to distinguish it. There are no indications on the site whether they offer instructions/manuals for their game rentals.
Prices: Mchezo is a little more expensive than most rental companies with price plans at £10.99 for one game at a time to £21.99 for three at a time. Only their 2 disc at a time tariff is industry standard, at £14.99 per month. We can see little that justifies the additional cost relative to the other sites, so have marked them down on this basis.
