Gamesmonster Rentals is a new service
that aims to cover game rentals for next generation consoles. We recommended to avoid this service as they only have a small amount of game rentals available.

Verdict: Gamesmonster offers a substandard collection of
approximately 360+ titles. It is very disappointing that
they don't offer any of the older PS2 or Xbox console games
At the moment, we would only recommend
their service for Xbox owners.

Quality rental descriptions
User review and ratings
Verdict: Their website is well
designed with a monster green colour scheme. The best
feature of their website is the mini-hub feature which includes
a small box that keeps
you updated on your gamelist and real time
updates about when your games will be released.
When you click on the actual games, you will find a
great deal of information
including rating, screenshots, user reviews and detailed descriptions. Overall, the site is
brilliant and one of the
best we have seen.

Gamesmonster
has a nice site with a very cheap 1-game package. However, their game collection is very small and not
worth trying until they increase their volume. We
recommend you stick with our top choices Swapgame or Lovfilm.
