Didn't look like there was much of a choice. Maybe I didn't look hard enough? ;)

There are 2 that I know of. I've never used either and don't have an opinion of either. I just know they exist.

There's also steam & the multitude of games that are flocking onto the valve bandwagon for a piece of the sweet, sweet cybercafe action.

I'm pretty sure gametap.com is pretty ok. It's advertised a lot, and I know there are some games that are only being released through it, kinda in the same way Steam releases games.

i dont use the programs either but same as nil8 i know of them just not much about them

also i just figured out that nil8 means annihilate doesn't it

It sure does. It's also the name of a midwest band I liked when I was young. I've had this online surname for over 12 years.

might seem the obvious one, but this system allows you to buy games online and download them to your computer. They're getting up quite a list of good games too!
