GamesFrenzy offers a decent
range of games for each platform, and certainly keeps up to date with
new releases. Unfortunately, they offer a sub standard website and they don't offer a free trial. We recommend using a service such as Swapgame or Lovefilm that offer a
free trial.

User review and ratings
Verdict: The GamesFrenzy website is as
simple and basic as you can get. The site has a drab colour scheme and unprofessional design unlike their competitor's sites.
The site offers only 4 browsing
categories (Action
Adventure, Sport & Driving, Shoot 'em up &
Platform & Puzzle). However, the
usual standard hotlists such as Top Ten, Coming Soon,
A-Z & new releases are available.
Game descriptions contain basic information but
are missing user ratings and reviews. Although the site has a few good points, it is generally very poor.
Customer Service

Email & Online support
Verdict: GamesFrenzy sends games via first class including Saturday mailings. This results in a quicker turnaround for their customers.
GamesFrenzy's service suffers from the lack of online game manuals,
although they do direct customers to websites that offer them online.
The company offers email, online and telephone support.

This
service has no real advantage over the other sites and its lack of a free trial is disappointing. We recommend using a service such as Swapgame or lovefilm that offer a
free trial.
