If you've ever downloaded a free trial of a game...

I download these all the time. It sucks though because I have dial up and it takes about 3-10 hours to download a single game, but its fun. I can get quite far with the trials. And as bad as I want the games, I'd never enter a code to get them. Might buy them discount (which I'm happy with bigfishgames because of they seem to be selling them for like $7.00 a piece), but not get them like that.

once in a great while ill go to bigfish games lately. Or i signed up for a membership at shockwave.com where you can play as many games as long as you want and the trial never ends as long as your a member and if you want to purchase a game then you have already tried the game, they seem to have a couple new games every week.

I've stopped by bigfish once in a while and was using shockwave for a few months too as a member but that got kind of expensive. I like trying the trial games but I've only bought two full version games this way, Cake Mania and Snowy's Lunch Rush. I'm thinking of getting the Ravenhearst game but I'm still not sure yet.

Hi bungirl! I dont play games that much, so I haven't downloaded any till date :) I rather have an out of context question to ask :D. I just posted a discussion, where I wanted to have your opinion - I just want to know how safe are these free trails - dont they trcik us in any ways ..? I mean is is safe to try them... what has been your expreince - say If i try them, and cancel before expiry date.. will my money be safe ? Eg, if we get a 15 day trail, and i cancel it on 12th .. would that be fine? It will be great if u can comnet on my last discusion - i just posted it a few minutes back - i wouiuld really apprecited if I can have views of someone experienced like u. Thanks.

You sound like me! I've played almost all of their games, and just recently bought my first one! And that was just because I got the 6.99 deal! I've wondered the same thing. I think it DOES work though because an hour gets you to the good stuff and then BAM, it's over! But if you buy it, you can continue!

I will download the free trial game and give it a go. If it seems interesting,fun, or my kids enjoy it, I will go ahead and buy it. It also depends on how much it is. Some sites offer the same game as other sites for 1/2 price. That is a big seller for me, also! :)

before, i use to download free trial of games.. right now, i just download the full version of the games, using torrents..

I have done this on a couple of occasions as I downloaded Jewel of Atlantis from the Aol games website and tried it out til the trial time ran out. I then bought it and got addicted to it. I have not played it recently due to being on myLot more but I love this game. I also did this with another game on that website but do not remember the name of the game. I only have done this twice. My mom got me addicted. LOL

I do that most of the time too. I did purchase the long version of Bejeweled though. I usually would rather buy the game at Walmart or someplace like that though.

I have bought games that I tried the trial before. There is another site besides BigFish that I've bought from... can't think of it. I don't think I bought any from BigFish. I've bought 3 CD's. I like to have the games on CD just in case, so I buy many games to make it worth purchasing the CD they put them on. I think I've bought 12 or so games. I haven't played any games in a long time, but I went through a phase when I was addicted to them and had to play every day.

I don't buy any of these games. I merely note it down and search it in another site. plus some of my friends have a lot of games and I get it from them. when you can get virus free games, without paying for it, why take pains in buying it. though the downloaded or the other version my friend has may be trial but it doesn't have time or any limit, and most of them are full version..
