Are there any other clubs like Big Fish where you can join and pay a small amount each month for a game and others inbetween?

So far I have checked out GamesHouse and Spintop. Spintop I do not see any discounts offered? Or am I not looking there in the right place?

Any suggestions or recommendations welcome.

Spintop occasionally has half off sales. They had one around Christmas. Maybe they'll have one for Easter.

Thanks for the reply Jenny100, I guess Big Fish and Gameshouse are the only ones then.

What about RealArcade? They offer a $9.99 club.


Prices are going up everywhere except in our incomes.

I switched from BigFish to Gamehouse club about three mths ago and I love it. Haven't had any problems with the games, and I love the free daily downloads!

The games may work fine, but Gamehouse embeds their games with software that keeps track of every keystroke you make in the game, and sends that information out to their home base via the Internet so they can track how you're playing your game. Check their EULA. There is a lot of information they collect about your computer, what's on it, and how you use it, that they really don't need to know.

I feel very strongly about this as well. In fact, when there is an occasional game that I want to play and Big Fish is not going to get it (like Mortimer Beckett and the Time Paradox), I wait for the boxed retail version and buy that instead, rather than dealing with EULAs like the one Jenny100 described above.

Spin Top is the only place I'll consider downloading from if BigFish does not have something I want. I wait for their quarterly 1/2 off sale and get caught up.

RealArcade and GameHouse are the same thing. Real owns GameHouse.
