Now here is a phenomenon swapping your video games that you no longer play with others online.

Swapping or trading in games for other titles in the traditional way means, you have travel to your nearest video game retailer, only to be disappointed with the selection on offer or if you’re trading for cash, only to be offered a few quid even for brand new titles.

There must be better ways of trading in games specially now in the advent of the internet, well there is http://www.gamejam.co.uk is one of these new games swapping sites that have sprung up over the past few years, but the game swapping idea has been around for decades.

The premise is simple, you have a game you don't want, and others that you do want. It turns out someone else has the game you want, and they want your game, so you swap them. Simple. However, it wasn't long until such systems became even easier, as you can now find swapping partners in the UK.

Most of these sites cost a few quid for membership, and obviously you have to pay for postage, but it's a great way to recycle your old games while picking up something new. Some sites offer a quality checking service, but most simply provide contact details and allow users to sort it out themselves.

This is in my review one of the ways even computer gamers can contribute to the world environmental issues we are all facing; by recycling your video games even video games can do your bit. Like the famous slogan “Every little helps”.
