Integrate shopping cart into site easily

Hello,

i have several sites, including one that accompanies a game we are developing. Im currently looking into revenue streams (want to keep the game free) as the game and site are becoming popular very quickly. We put up a new website 2 weeks ago and already have 1200 forum members. The game itself is in middle beta but with the increase of members growing daily its time to consider bringing in revenue to pay for the game (server costs etc).

I have currently put up adsense but feel like its not working ($15 in 2 weeks). Maybe im too eager but with the amount of traffic i would of thought i could increase revenue more than that.

I am aware the content on our site is geared for the game but i am considering in expanding the website to review retail games and sell them using a add on shopping cart.

Anyone have any ideas which shopping cart would suit best (free hopefully), and any ideas on revenue streams. I spend an awful amount of time admining the game/website and of course developing the game itself so an easy but effective strategy would be best.

thanks
