Video Game spring cleaning.
By AndrewB 4 Comments
It's that time of year, folks! Spring means spring cleaning, and besides tidying up the homestead, I've decided to do a little bit of console gaming cleaning; brought on by the fact that I picked up Resident Evil 4 for the Wii again for the first time in years, played it for a few seconds, died, and decided I'll never be good enough to beat it!
I'm thinking of selling a boatload of games. I could definitely use the money and the shelf space, and it isn't like these will ever truly be collectors items (and with the absolute shelf life of disc-based media, none of it will even be playable in the far-flung future). Here's the list of crap I've compiled thus far.
 | 1. Resident Evil 4 The Wii and Gamecube versions. |
 | 2. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess The Wii version. I just never got around to finishing it, and don't feel the inclination to do so. |
 | 3. Animal Crossing: City Folk The... Wii version. Mayhaps I should sell my Gamecube version too? I still own and want to keep the DS version, which is arguably still the best in the series. |
 | 4. Sonic Mega Collection The Gamecube compilation that I don't really need since I own a Genesis and the original games. |
 | 5. BioShock The 360 version. I still own the superior PC version. |
 | 6. Prototype The 360 version. Never finished it, don't want to. |
 | 7. Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts Still contemplating this one. It's a great game; it just never hooked me. |
 | 8. Grand Theft Auto IV The 360 version. Making my paid DLC useless, but I never intend to play the game again. |
 | 9. Need for Speed: Most Wanted The 360 version. Got it for free from a friend, never felt like playing it. |
 | 10. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter The 360 version. Good game, but old by today's standards. Very dated. |
 | 11. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion The 360 version. I own the PC version with all of the DLC. Not much of a point in keeping this edition around. |
 | 12. Tales of Vesperia The 360 version. Never got around to finishing it; definitely inferior to Symphonia, in my opinion. |
 | 13. Fable II Sorry, Molyneux, but it was an amazing one-time ride. Not interested in playing it again, nor finishing that first DLC I bought (*sigh*). |
 | 14. Mirror's Edge 360 version. I played the first two level and never picked it up again. |
 | 15. Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams The Xbox version of Silent Hill 2. Probably a great game, but I can't play it. |
 | 16. Eternal Sonata The 360 Version. Awesome, awesome game, but I've got no intention of playing it again. |
 | 17. Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions It's my favorite Final Fantasy game, but I don't see myself sinking any more time into it. |
 | 18. Lumines: Puzzle Fusion |
 | 19. WipEout Pure |
 | 20. Worms: Open Warfare The PSP version. |
 | 21. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories GTA done wrong on the PSP. |
 | 22. Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower I can't play fighting games. |
 | 23. Twisted Metal: Head-On |
 | 24. Hotel Dusk: Room 215 Not the kind of game I like to play on the DS. |
 | 25. Metroid Prime: Hunters Good concept, not incredible execution. I never finished it. |
 | 26. Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords The DS version. Good game; again, I don't see myself playing it again. |
 | 27. Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time The worst Mario and Luigi game. |
 | 28. Super Princess Peach Mreh. |
 | 29. Sonic Rush I want to forget the last decade or so of Sonic. |
 | 30. Advance Wars: Dual Strike I love tactical games, but this is one tactical game I suck at. |
 | 31. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 The GBA version. It's a surprisingly great version of the game. No complaints. |
 | 32. Mario Kart: Super Circuit |
 | 33. Army Men: Turf Wars What? I got this for free and obviously never played it. |
 | 34. Namco Museum The GBA version. |
 | 35. Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure Another freebie. |
 | 36. Pac-Man Collection |
 | 37. Dark Arena |
