Game Rentals

[VampDude]

What games are you currently renting, or have previously rented in the past month?

I am currently renting Animal Crossing on the Wii, which I've had since yesterday (the design part is awesome - see spoiler).



Because the SEGA logo is cool, and I thought that plastering a SEGA logo in a somewhat decent game (though not made by SEGA) would be the first in many years.

Because I think Link is awesome, and it's easy to draw.

I'm going to purchase Animal Crossing tomorrow. :)



The last game I rented, was Sonic Unleashed (Wii) which I must admit I did not like.

Resistance 2(PS3)

Im having trouble getting into it.

I have never rented a game. The price of a game in the UK doesn't warrant paying a quarter to rent it.

Resistance 2(PS3)

The single player is far too contrived and unoriginal compared to the original, but the multiplayer is alright.

Everything great from Fall of Man is gone:
four tier regenerating health
weapon wheel
range of weapons

I enjoyed playing it, but it is not really a sequel.

How far are have you got?

Never rented games though, seems like a waste of money, I usually only buy great games which i want to keep, otherwise i search around for ebay deals or promo discs for half the cost.

I don't rent games. I usually research the hell out of them, then buy a copy.

Also, nice design, VD. I made the EB0 logo.

Rentals aren't that expensive, I bet you haven't considered looking at the competitive online game rental stores. I rent games from both online, and my local video store (mainly online due to longer rentals and cheaper - also limitless on howmany I rent per month).

Rentals save me the bother of buying a game that I would dislike after a few days to a week, because we all know how the game exchange business works (to line the stores pockets).

I never buy a game if it's newly released, unless I know that it's worth buying. Which is where rentals (or borrowing someone else's game) play a good role for me, because it's all the same as research (I don't trust reviews).

Thankyou, I should add you later so I can see your logo sometime (I have one more - see spoiler). :)

I will be sad to return this today, but hopefully I will have my own if the supermarket still have it later. :)

I'd show you a screenshot, but I'm posting this on my Wii, so I can't. Find a screenshot of the title screen for Earthbound Zero or MOTHER 1. There's a globe in the logo. That's what I made.

EDIT: Here's a picture of my design.

And the original.

Also, it's not over 9000...

I've never once rented a game.

I would do if there was somewhere near where I live.

GameFly lets you rent games over the Internet.

Back in the day I rented a few Genesis games, one or two N64 games (despite not having an N64), and more recently some Gamecube games (but not for me) due to having coupons for free blockbuster game rentals.

Depending on the price it's a great way to: play through a short game that you have no interest in replaying or test out possible purchases (5$ compared to 55$ or whatnot).
