I gots me a Gamefly account.

[Big Rick Cook]

I got tired of always complaining about the dozens of games across the consoles and handhelds I couldn't afford or didn't have quite the ambition to pay for, so I signed up for Gamefly over the weekend. Got my first title, Heavenly Sword, yesterday.

Yell out loudly about games I should play on PS3, Wii, GameCube, PSP, DS, and PSP so that I might add them to my GameQ!

WOO now you will appreciate short fun games and hate long tedious games

A hint on gamefly, don't put every game you might want to play on your queue, just put the games that you definitely want now on your queue. Otherwise they'll send you whatever is available and it doesn't seem to relate much to the order you put them.

If you haven't played
Call of Duty MW2
Uncharted II
Persona IV
Valkyria Chronicles
Little Big Planet

Those are the recent games I played that I highly recommend

Re: I gots me a Gamefly account.

Perhaps I should keep a list of games I wanna play elsewhere, and then only add the ones I want to play now when it's time for a new game?

I kinda went through and added like 40 games already =V Though I did get Heavenly Sword and it was first on my list, so who knows.

Should I play the originals first for the games up there that are sequels? Cause I haven't played any of them, nor do I know anything about Call of Duty MW in general. Little Big Planet is on my list, and I own Valkyria Chronicles.

Re: I gots me a Gamefly account.

I have about 15 games in my queue, and usually what happens is that I get maybe the 3-5th one down.

So, yeah, just put your number one and number two picks on there, perhaps.

And unless you have a ton of time, I'd stay away from trying to complete RPGs through Gamefly. Buying Persona 4 is cheaper than getting it through Gamefly for two months.

Re: I gots me a Gamefly account.

I got tired of Gamefly and canceled my account after I realized they never had any games I wanted in stock and 2-3 weeks of the month was spent waiting for my game to arrive.

It usually depends more on the Availability rather than the order.
If there is something you really want to get that has a HIGH availability, but there's a game further down that is Available Now, chances are good the latter will be sent next. So in that case, just remove the one available now and you'll be good to go.

Welcome to the smart team, Rick!

Re: I gots me a Gamefly account.

I know it's based on availability; my first 2-3 are usually newer games that are still in their "low" availability.

Re: I gots me a Gamefly account.

Yeah..If a "low" availability game is the only one in your queue, they'll send it within a week (usually)

also if a game is not out yet, and the only game in your queue, when it comes out, it'll often be sent to you right away (worked for me quite a few times)

I think I'm saving some money with gamefly, though not a ton. But it's made up for in lack of guilt of a big stack of games that I don't play staring at me.

Gamefly sounds like a hassle!
