It's a tiny download, only about 10MB in size.
I got the beta code, that I applied for months ago, in an email and decided
that I better give it a try.
First of all let me mention, it opens in a window, unlike on-live. This makes it
so much easier to work with. From here, you can do anything you're able to do
on the GameFly website, like put games in your GameQ. Essentially it's like
Steam. You can purchase games to download and rent the games by paying a
monthly fee. But the thing that makes this stand out is, with your monthly
fee you also get free unlimited PC gaming. Sounds like a great deal, right?
Well, it will be if they get some better free games. I know this is just the
beta, and it doesn't fully represent the final product, but I really hope they
step it up with the games. Another important thing to know; this isn't a
streaming service, you have to download the PC games in order to play them.
It looks like it has a lot of potential. We'll just have to wait and see.
