I remember when I used to rent games... I only rented good games, it appears that renters no longer care about quality anymore. Half of that list comprises utter shitastic games.

Besides, Driv3r, what games on that list are "utter shitastic" and why would a renter necessarily care about quality - wouldn't a quality game be worth a purchase rather than just a rent?

Shadow Ops.


RDR is a good rental. Not good, or long enough to equal a purchase, but the perfect game for a rental.
