Game giveaways going back to game.giveawayoftheday.com

Hello eveyrone,
Please note that our weekend game giveaways will go back to the game site starting this weekend. We tried to use our main site for both games and software giveaways and it just didn`t work well, so we decided to have 2 sites running again.

Yours,
Slava
GOTD team

  1. Sounds good. It will sound even better if you’ll bring the game per day back. Good work and keep GGOTD alive.

  2. I always looked forward to checking out BOTH pages so all I can say is THANK YOU, you’ve just given me double the pleasure again.

    Comment by NannySamdi — April 10th, 2008 at 9:49 am
  3. Just exactly where do you find the game giveaway site?

  4. That IS good news!!
    I too look forward to checking both sites daily!
    Thanks!

  5. I hope that the indicator on the upper right will be updated to show when a game is available. So I don’t forget… :)

  6. Are there ever going to be game giveaways every day again? I did so look forward to them.Thank you.

  7. Thanks to GAOTD for working to get the daily game offer back. We all appreciate it, some more than others, and some without saying it.

    As for a few of the posters today with their DUH comments, I have to say this - While it’s obvious you can read and use a computer, so why don’t you be like Nike and just do it? The answers to your questions can be found under your hands, and in front of your face!

  8. Great idea. I, too, have missed having the two separate sites. You guys do an awesome job, and I really appreciate your hard work. Many Thanks for all you do!

    Comment by Songbird — April 10th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
  9. Thank you in advance!

    Comment by Jennifer — April 10th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
  10. Thank you so much for the update and I, too, miss my games each day, but am still ever grateful for the weekend! I enjoyed the two-seperate sites: one for a program and one for a game. Thank you!

    Comment by Kim — April 10th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
  11. Good idea, thank. I was wondering who is playing with all the games.

    “Just exactly where do you find the game giveaway site?”

    Well, when it’s updated, there will be a link to it in the upper-right corner of the main site. In the meantime, you can check out comments from last month on games that people hated here:

    “Are there ever going to be game giveaways every day again?”

    But, of course! I seem to remember a similar hiatus a while back, and the site recovered from that!

    Comment by Lockett — April 11th, 2008 at 1:00 am
  13. Thank you!

    Comment by BP — April 11th, 2008 at 2:09 am
  14. If you are giving games only at weekends, why not rename the game site as gamegiveawayoftheweek.com

    Comment by Sandeep — April 11th, 2008 at 2:14 am
  15. Just wanted to say how gr8 the site is and thanks for the brilliant effort you put in to the site too!

    Comment by Madsonic — April 11th, 2008 at 3:05 am
  16. Thank you! I love checking both giveaway sites, it’s my daily treat!

    Comment by Michal — April 11th, 2008 at 3:07 am
  17. i wish you would find some hidden object games like the mystery file games they are fun and really addictive thanks

  18. Gr8 news GGOTD!
    As a new user to your site I’ve been visiting it daily & I have been really lovin’ it! I’ve become quite addicted.
    Now I can get a double fix!! :-)

    Comment by Vicki — April 11th, 2008 at 7:17 am
  19. I agree with # 17 I love hidden object games and own several but They are so adictive I love them also . BIg Fish games are great .

    Comment by Linda — April 11th, 2008 at 7:52 am
  20. Thank you so much … you have made my day :)

    I am really looking forward to tomorrow now!

    Comment by MLG — April 11th, 2008 at 7:57 am
  21. Thanks for all the giveaways, can’t please all of us all the time, but the hard work and efforts are much appreciated :)

    Comment by S D — April 11th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
  22. ditto #17 and #19. I also agree that trading off between software and games through the week would be great. I really miss the games and the ones that have been offered the last two weekends weren’t my cup of tea, so I’m going thru withdrawals! Thanks for all you do…this is one of the first sites I check each day.

    Comment by eelydnic — April 11th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
  23. Could we get one like Operation Victory????
    or one from Meridian’93???

    Comment by thenameipicked — April 11th, 2008 at 4:46 pm
  24. Good news! Can’t wait for every day again.

    Comment by JIM — April 11th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
  25. I love these sites:-) I have to admit, when you went to the weekend games, I missed the first couple because I didn’t have the link in the upper right corner of the GiveAway site and forgot to specifically look for the games on the weekends:-( My bad though. I LOVE the sites and even if I won’t personally use the program (ex:I have no use for Ipod stuff) I generally know someone to tell about it that day if I don’t need it. I also find it wonderful that I don’t have to go hunting all over the web for free softwware, you have it there, everyday, rain or shine!
    And not in the least important, a HUGE Thank You to the folks you GET the software from! Without them, we wouldn’t’ have you all! I tell everyone I know about your site(s), sometimes more than 4-5 times.
    Have a great weekend!

    Comment by Bettina — April 12th, 2008 at 12:36 am
  26. Woooo Hoooo! Glad to see that you are reverting back to the way you had the two sites set up before. Great News! I did enjoy visiting each day to see what was on offer. Keep up the good work. You Rock!

    Comment by Debra — April 12th, 2008 at 1:15 am
  27. thanks!

    Comment by bluegirl — April 12th, 2008 at 3:39 am
  28. I’ll certainly be checking every day. I’m one of those who like scrollers. We had a decent collection of games, all but one from here, but our hard drive failed. The repair guy said he couldn’t save what was on there. Now I’ll have fun replacing them. Thanks for everything you all do.

    Comment by Char — April 12th, 2008 at 4:31 am
  29. The website still says “Every day we offer licensed games you’d have to buy otherwise, for free!”

    Change it to “every week”.

    Comment by Sandeep — April 12th, 2008 at 4:51 am
  30. This “new” way sounds less confusing. Especially for us that need help tying our shoes. (Just buy Velcro) LOL
    I’m confident you’re doing what you can with the games.

    Comment by Larry B. — April 12th, 2008 at 5:48 am
  31. You folks do an awesome job & I appreciate all that you do in regard to the free software & games. I dont have any problems being a ‘beta’ tester perse, I choose the product I want to download & go from there. The best part is the product is free, if it dont work I just give a review to what happened or didnt happen & any problems I encountered & share it with the site & the world. Now what is so hard abouit that? But so many people want to come to this site & complain cuz they cant pick & choose the software they get, well thats just tough, this isnt that kind of site & they need to keep thier infantile selves at home. On a more positive note, keep up the great work!

    Comment by anthony julian — April 12th, 2008 at 9:12 am
  32. re: #14: They are going to resume giveaways for games daily when they have more time. Why should they purchase a separate domain in the interim? It’s not just “renaming”, they’d have to register a new domain and pay for that.

    Comment by Miss Lux — April 12th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
  33. I agree totally with #1 I am waiting patiently for you to bring back the games everyday. As I am not much of a guru for programs, I love games. Thanks for all your hard work for both sites, keep up the great work!

    Comment by Jennifer — April 12th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
  34. Thank you so much for your efforts here! I love Jane’s Hotel, and I was thrilled to see it as the giveaway today. I remembered to check my e-mail, and the info was there. I appreciate this site very much, regardless of whether we get a game every day, or once a week.

    As for the comment about changing your name to gamegiveawayoftheweek.com, obviously that is not necessary, as your site is named GIVEAWAYOFTHEDAY.com, not GAMEGIVEAWAYOFTHEDAY. You do give away software every day, therefore your name is giveawayoftheday, which is a very correct and truthful name.

    Please remember that for every complainer, there are several thankful people who probably don’t do enough to show it. This is the first comment I’ve published here, and I should have done so sooner. Thank you!!!!

    Comment by Catnip — April 12th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
  35. Thanks for all you do. Looking forward to the everyday games, but am appreciative of anything we get. You rock!

    Comment by Danke — April 12th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
  36. Thanks, I will check this site every day.
    A game like “chocolatier”, building a chocolat empire,
    would be a great idea.

    Comment by alicias — April 12th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
  37. I liked having those awesome games though :( My download-ness increased 500%.

  38. Great! It makes everything more easy and more comfortable.

    Comment by Silver Nguyen — April 13th, 2008 at 12:12 am
  39. Nice one. It just didn’t seem right having the games on the giveaway side. What surprised me was the complaints when you first started putting the games on the giveaway side. We live in a very strange and selfish world (well on the ‘Westernized’ side anyway

    I for one am always delighted to see a new game whatever the genre. Thank you for running such a project. I hope it continues to be a success and I wish the owners of the project are successul in their endeavours. I’m sure it’s vey much appreciated by the vast majority of consumers here.

    Rock on Giveaway team :)

    Comment by Whiterabbit aka Stephen — April 13th, 2008 at 4:47 am
  40. I have been coming to this site for well over a year. I read all the comments and then decide whether to download the game. I looked forward each day to see what new game was posted. People should be thankful that this is even here. I for one want to thank GAOTD.

    Comment by oldrthanu — April 13th, 2008 at 7:17 am
  41. I WAS SO GLAD TO RECEIVE RISE TO ATLANTIS LAST WEEK==THANKS SO MUCH.

    I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR RETURN.

    Comment by rosemary — April 13th, 2008 at 8:24 am
  42. I agree. I love the hidden object games, very addicting.

    Comment by Barbara — April 13th, 2008 at 9:14 am
  43. Thank You for anything you offer, anywhere at all, as without either sites offering something (whenever available), I would be without certain games or assistance programs that are shared for free to the public.

    Comment by ILuvChoc — April 13th, 2008 at 9:55 am
  44. ditto Whiterabbit aka Stephen.
    And thank you GOTD for all the freebies.

    Comment by Karin — April 13th, 2008 at 10:37 am
  45. #3 you can go to home page and under what’s give away of the day click on game give away of day. add to your favs and your all set.

    Comment by James — April 13th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
  48. Nice, can’t wait.. I used to enjoy playing some of the previous games that you have had on G.GOTD. :D

  49. Thank you GOTD very much, about everything ^^

    Comment by Minh Thu — April 14th, 2008 at 10:40 am
  50. Need to add my two cents in :) TY TY TY for all the work you do even though i am not sure how much work is involved in giving us games and programs i am sure it is pretty intense and frustrating when you can’t find a vendor to give us a gift to test and purchase their products. Keep up the great work and i know you will give us a gem when you are able too and have done over the years. WTG GAOTD we do appreciate you *HUGS*

    Comment by bluhoteyes — April 14th, 2008 at 10:41 am
  51. Will you be sending out daily e-mails like you did in the past? If not, where do I find the game of the day? Your daily site hasn’t been updated since Jane’s Hotel. Thanks

    Comment by elli — April 14th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
  52. ok, so where’s today’s game? Is there a new website I need to go to?

    Ash

  53. Sounds good, but couldn’t find the game on the weekend or now on Monday. ;-(

    Comment by Laurie — April 14th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
  54. I don’t want to sound ungrateful. I am thrilled with your site and have sent many others your way. I am just curious, what happened to the second game of the weekend?

    Comment by Anne — April 14th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
  55. Maybe we’ll get three next weekend?

    I’ve been getting all the games for some time.

    Comment by M — April 14th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
  56. Will you send an e-mail from GAME GIVEAWAY OF THE DAY on the weekends when it is available? (like you do GOTD) I hope so!

    Comment by Gerrye Williams — April 15th, 2008 at 7:44 am
  57. Thank you so very much for these. I love to play match ones and I am retired now and enjoy games soo much. Thank you very much again. Not many would do what you are…….thanks

  58. Yeah but if you’re not giving a game a day away you prolly shouldn’t keep the name as it is, since you no longer give a game a day away. Speaking of which was there only one game giveaway this past weekened cause I only saw Jane’s Hotel?

    In either case keep up the good work!

    Comment by Eo — April 15th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
  59. Aha…excellent.Coffee breaks just wasnt the same after two became one site.

    Comment by Amy Lee — April 16th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
  60. Dear GOTD Team,

    I have a Giveaway Proposal for all of you. For now, instead of Game Giveaways on the weekend, why dont you do it this way:

    Sunday : Software Giveaway
    Monday Game Giveaway
    Tuesday : Software Giveaway
    Wednesday : Game Giveaway
    Thursday : Software Giveaway
    Friday : Game Giveaway
    Saturday : Software giveaway?

    How about that ? Please give it some serious consideration and or thought :)

    Comment by good — April 18th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
  62. I like the game give away because that means thier is stufff to look forward to during the day plz bring back everyday games.

    Comment by loogy — April 18th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
  63. Hi all, thanks so much to g.o.t.d. I have learned a lot from your giveaways and have had a ball with the Games. I love Robbox, Turtle Odyssey, Bubble Odyssey. I have been through them over and over. So I guess my favourite type of game is the Platform such as the aforementioned. Could you consider that type gain. Thanks . Number #60 Jason the hockey guy. What a GREAT idea.Keep up the good work all.

    Comment by Lady — April 19th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
  64. #60 That sounds like a great idea.
    Thanks for the wonderful game this weekend. “EAST SIDE STORY” Big download but well worth it! Hope your projects get straightened out soon. Keep up the great work you all deserve a big pat on the back.
    I also would like some hidden object games if you can get one.

    Comment by Steven — April 21st, 2008 at 5:24 am
  65. At last! That’s great :)

  66. sounds like gr8 news…… hope its like the previous pages…..

    Comment by Jash — April 22nd, 2008 at 3:39 am
  67. I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO STOPPED CHECKING DAILY SINCE THERE WAS JUST THE ONE GIVEAWAY EACH DAY. AS LONG AS YOU GO BACK TO DAILY GAMES AND NOT WEEKLY, YOUR PAGE VIEWS AND HITS SHOULD RETURN/INCREASE.

    Comment by Frederick VonFlintstone — April 22nd, 2008 at 10:11 pm
  68. Do you ever do car racing games, I need the practise to keep up with my namesake for sure!
    I also like the match three in a line type games (Still playing *Rise of Atlantis* here)
    Really sad to see only games on the weekend now :-(

    Comment by Fernando Alonso — April 23rd, 2008 at 11:51 pm
  69. Thank God the games are coming back. I don’t have the brains to test your applications. Whether waste my isp time downloading games! TYGAOTD!

    Comment by Esther — April 26th, 2008 at 1:24 am
  70. Whatever, as you promised.

    Comment by guitarzan — April 29th, 2008 at 1:47 am
  71. So much sorry for not being able to search for the best game. Don’t know why but I’m sorry for such. Hope will come back again. Wish you health and wealth.
    Sincerely,

    Comment by Khaido — April 29th, 2008 at 5:22 am
  72. it doesnt matter for me as long as this site is alive.. :p …

    thanks GOTD ! :p

  73. That would be fun if the majors could offer a complete game from time to time. Even old ones (between 0-4 years back or more).

    Thanks for all the giveaway!

    Cya!

  74. Since you went to weekends only, I have not been able to download games due to the fact that all I have available where I live is DialUp.!
    (Oh the agony.!)
    Tooo slooow to download games. During the week, I can download at lunch…
    Maybe one on the weekend and one during the week.?

  75. ok I get it, you are re-opening the “site” GGOTD but still “using” it only on weekends………… it’s Friday………. isn’t that the start of the weekend? heehee just getting anxious for tomorrow’s giveaway that I probably won’t download unless it’s a FAB connect-3

    Comment by Marcie — May 2nd, 2008 at 7:37 am
  76. Sadly, Not been much good up to now but hopefully the games will improve?
    So sad to see only week end games whilst the software giveaway every day is soooo poor :-(

    Comment by Toady Mcwalker — May 2nd, 2008 at 11:39 pm
  77. Always thankful to your site buddies. God bless you a million times.

    Comment by Naiyer — May 3rd, 2008 at 2:13 am
  78. Great finally back daily. I love PC games. I would like to know if there are other sites that offer Full version PC GAMES for Free. Most sites offers FULL version but you end up downloading an hour trial version, very frustrating. Please help me find more free games. Keep up the good work GGOTD.
