I subscribed to GameFly yesterday under their 10 free trial service. I navigated my way through their site and set up the list of games that i would like to request. Most of the games I chose were new releases such as Frontlines but the availability to these games was said to be low so I picke some other games that were a little bit older and left the site.
I received an e-mail about 2 hours later saying that two of my choices had shipped but the problem was these choices were the last two in my list of ten titles. I know that i am new to GameFly but I would suspect that if someone is paying the company's $22.95 per month price to rent games that the availability for the new titles such as Frontlines would be available, why else would someone want to use this service?
I will post additional information that I may experience with respect to the game rental subject in future posts.

The Infamous Peggle
I like any other gamer can easily be addicted to a game simply by playing it, however I have come across a game that I simply can not stop playing. The game I am speaking of has been published by PopCap games and goes by the name Peggle. Currently this game is only available for the PC but I hope to see it ported for the XBOX 360 sometime in the future.
This addictive yet simple game consists of a pinball type playing where the object of the game is to hit each orange colored peg on the screen before you run out of balls to shoot at them. Once you have shot a ball from the top of the screen the ball bounces of other pegs colored in blue as well as various objects provided within the game.
As you make your way through the adventure side of the game to have the chance to hit green colored pegs that correspond with different abilities or special enhancements by the board. Some of these "specials" include flippers, explosions and even enhanced targeting systems which help you achieve the overall task of hitting each orange peg on the board.
A demo of the game can be downloaded form the PopCap game web site and once you have had the chance to try this addictive game you may find it hard not to stop or until you have to purchase the full game to get your Peggle on sort of speak.

The Future of Need For Speed
I spent a good majority of my weekend playing Need for Speed Pro Street and while I enjoy this game as i have stated in the past I am left wondering where the franchise is going to explore next. The Need for Speed franchise has explored various area of the racing world and while the latest installment seem to be directed towards the street racers I believe the franchise might want to review the success of previous installments and include some of the features of these previous versions of the game into a new release.
For instance being able to drive a police car and smash every living vehicle with it was an enjoyment for myself in the previous versions of Need for Speed and i wish this feature was brought back and included in a new release. I understand the overtones of the current release and EA taking the stance of expressing the legal issues of street racing by providing a track oriented aspect to Pro Street.
While illegal street racing is continuing to happen through the streets or our great nation and for that matter the world EA should include aspects from previous games and let parents and the authoirty agencies control the street racing problem.
