Get free videogames in the mail

November 21st, 2006

Okay - so technically they’re not completely free since you have to trade some of your old games for them, but really, we’re you going to play Counter Strike anymore now that you’ve got an XBOX 360?

I’m not traditionally a console gamer, so I’ve gotten very little use out of the game-trading site Goozex so far. Since they were a “CD only” operation until now, I’ve sent out some games and built up points but that’s about it.

Recently, Goozex added handheld games to their repertoire, and I just got my first GBA game, Sword of Mana, in the mail. It’s like getting a free game! The first 3 “transaction fees” (usually a meager $1) are waived, so this one really was “on the house”.

Speaking of games, there’s some new developments here in the apartment, but more on that soon. In the meantime, check out Goozex. They’re cool people - I met some of them handing out fliers in Times Square while I was doing the same thing for The Alternative Music Show - and they’ve got a great little service.
