Either way, it's a useful way to determine whether you'll enjoy the full version without spending any money. So, what have you got to lose?
Swapping games with your friends is another way to beat the Gaming Winter Blues. Not only will you have a new game to play but you can also make recommendations to friends, which can be incredibly rewarding. If there's enough of you then you could even organise a swap shop.
