I have to admit right from the start that I am not a GameFly subscriber. I am nevertheless a big fan. I find the concept brilliant, but I only have so many hours in a day, and generally purchase the games I'm after that don't come to me for review. That's just me. Even so... I'm sorely tempted.
GameFly has now gone a step further than movie counterpart Netflix seems willing to go, by taking their subscription service to another level with the release of an updated version of their GameCenter App. While there's nothing in it for me, apart from a twitchy jealousy, I wanted to share the news with you. If you are already a subscriber, this is an obvious must, but I rather like it as another key to the initial sell.
Everything at your fingertips all the time is something you can't overlook when deciding on something like this.
Key features that add a lot of value -
*Add or delete games & news by platform
*Ability to browse similar games from any game detail page
*Share the games you add to your GameQ with friends via Facebook, Twitter and email
*Improved UI for browsing games and news
*Special Offers including free trials and more
*More game trailers & higher quality
In addition to the most recent news, release dates, user reviews, game controls, videos, cheats, codes and more for over 7,000 video games, GameCenter 1.2 offers GameFly members a fully integrated GameQ in-app that enables easier browsing, adding, deleting and sharing of games.
