GameFly.com... The king of video game rental sites. Informative game reviews, console support, and an endless list of
features has helped solidify GameFly's spot of the top of the rental services. A lot of relationships will be
put in jeopardy when the boyfriend is forced to chose between the game or the girl.
With a service like this, it might be wise for GameFly to branch out into relationship
counseling.

Gamerang.com // visit site // read review
Gamerang.com was a very pleasant surprise. The site makes one of the boldest
statements of originality we've ever seen by operating four distribution centers. That's
three more than most video game rental websites. This means over half of the
United States can get the games they rent the very next day. How cool is that? If you
only visit one game rental site in your life Gamerang.com should be it.

GPlay.com // visit site // read review
Don't expect a lot of frills from GPlay.com. They're there to do one
thing and that's to provide you with the best site to rent video games online. GPlay is simplistic in every sense of the
word -- but that's not necessarily a bad thing. 56K users will appreciate their
fast-loading site. First time users will love their easy-to-use queue system. And they were even kind enough to throw in twelve
free issues of EGM, FHM, or Sync magazine.

get's our blessings as one of the best video game rental sites on the Web today.

JiffyGames.com // visit site // read review
Canadian gamers will be excited to know that there's a video game rental site
to serve their needs. JiffyGames.com offers an impressive catalogue of 2,000-plus
video games and offers support for five major consoles. Another noteworthy site feature is
their awsome refer-a-friend program. You get paid 100% of the sign up fee for
every friend you refer who becomes a new member. If your friend joins for $17.95,
you get $17.95. Now tell me... What's better than that?

NumbThumb.com // visit site // read review
Is it just me, or do a lot of video game rental sites try to look like crap. It's almost
like they intentionally suck just for kicks and giggles. We'll,
anyway... NumbThumb does provide members with some unique
features like their Priority Points program. Also, Texas, and nearby residents
will benefit from shorter shipping times. NumbThumb.com might
be for if you can ignore their embarrassingly low number of video game titles.

GameChoice.com // visit site // read review
Butt ugly site + unique features = site that could've been so much more.
GameChoice.com suffers dearly for its design follies but those
who can look past these visual deficiencies will be pleased to find a site
with much to offer. Their "Friend Referral" lets you earn cash for
every new member you send them. Plus, GameChoice ships from New York
which means quicker deliveries for members on the East Coast.

RedOctane // visit site // read review
RedOctane is another site that suffers from a poor first impression. There's
just nothing there to tell it apart from the other video game rental sites.
However, RedOctane does manage to display some redeeming qualities. One of
them being their 5 game rental plan. Die-hard gamers will love this feature.
But remember, there's always a ying to a yang... And in this case the yang is
the lack of a free trial. If you wondered why RedOctane only got three stars
here's your reason.

RentZero.com // visit site // read review
To start, Rentzero's site design sucks big-time. Helen Keller would have
produced a more noteworthy website. Moreover, they have one of the
smallest selection of titles in the video game rental industry. But in face of their
shortcomings, Rentzero managed to keep a couple o' aces up their sleeves. One being
their 14-day free trial. Keep in mind most sites only offer 10. Plus,
Rentzero is the only site to ship the manual with the game.
