Since quite a while they don’t give away one game per day anymore, but one game on Saturday and one game on Sunday.

So the correct name for this website would probably be “Game Giveaways of the Weekend”.

But then – just look at the dots in the address game.giveawayoftheday.com – Game Giveaway of the Day is only a subdomain of http://www.giveawayoftheday.com where actually EVERY day a piece of software is offered free for one day!

That is less than 12%

How can this website dare to call itself

http://game.giveawayoftheday.com ??

It should be renamed to

http://we-might-do-a-game-today.com

To the game team, can we at least aim for 25 to 50% please??

Oh yeah….. the problem with the archive being password protected only occurred several times from well over a thousand downloads, and was easily solved. As for it being an easy way to pass virii and Trojans around, agreed, but any one with sense would check the archive first to make sure it was clean; (though as already stated the giveaway team do test the games rigorously).

And no it does not work if you just click skip. And then I have just read how this one today is trying to install dll’s in other apps.

Hacker paradise, that’s what it sounds like to me.

To Watcher13, again well said. I’d consider myself quite an avid gamer, and do play games every day, some quite seriously. I’m purchasing games every week, sometimes every day for weeks, partly because a new game seems to give me that much extra relief from the pain I get constantly. Though that said I wouldn’t consider myself a hard core gamer. I was totally involved in one game for a couple of years to the exclusion of all else, so would probably have come under the umbrella of a hard core gamer, but no longer.

I play different games virtually every day now; jumping in and out of so many that I hardly become skillfull at any. Some games I play for longer, especially games like Fallout 3 and Oblivion (and I still occassionally get back into Battlefield 2 for a few weeks), but generally I only pay casually now. Hmmmmm, I seem to have strayed off the point lol. What I was trying to lead into (been up all night so am rather sleepy now) was that I agree with you about the games being for the casual gamer. There are few games a hard core gamer would find interesting here. But then the majority of people are probably not hard core gamers, so the project still a good one with plenty of juice left in it. (I hope)

Thanks for your insightful comments, they are always a pleasure to read.
