The actual name of swap game does suggest some kind of trade site, however the site is simply rental with the possibility of purchase as a potentially discount rate.

I usually tread very carefully with sites such as this as the service can be sloppy and delays with the post can be experienced which makes receiveing items a drawn out process.

However, with this siite, I found the navigation of the site easy and straightforward, constant email updates of status of the games and the dispatch and delivery was very quick. I had my copy of Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (DS) (which so far isn't a very good experience but I'll do a review of that after I've played it more) delivered the next possible day. (Ordered it on Monday afternoon, delivered Tuesday morning)

The games come as game only (no packaging or manuals) but are well packed in protective sleeve along with a free post return envelope. No postage costs, woo hoo!

The site has a very good selection of games including the ability of marking upcoming releases for addition to your 'list' (requested future rentals)

Overall the site is excellent, as long as you make sufficient use of it the cost is good. Highly recommended.

I would also say this review appears to be in the wrong place! The ratings seem more apt to a game than a gaming site!!
