Darryl Linington from ITF Gaming writes: Nowadays gamers tend to trade-in their video games quite often, some even trade-in a title a day or two later after purchasing it. While this is normal for those games that ultimately suck, there are always those golden gems that will forever hold a place in our collections.

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
"The Singapore-based indie games publisher Spiral Up Games and Qingdao/Shandong-based (China) indie games developer Aluba Studio, today announced with great happiness and excitement that their hacking adventure "Cyber Manhunt 2: New World" is coming to PC via Steam EA on May 10th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
I've never traded a game in, but had plenty of games I've loaned to friends that have never returned ( 1993 - a fair chunk of my Sega Megadrive collection), and games w flatmate loaned to PEOPLE I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ( 1996 - most of my PSX collection).
The soul still burns!
I've been gaming near 30 years, and even some of those games I didn't love so much, I still wouldn't mind playing now. It's not worth the five or ten bucks trade in, when that "10 years ago" nostalgia kicks in!
i too never get rid of my games... i went to best buy to buy a game, and i only go there since i hate gamestop so much.... but now best buy employees are forced to ask you if you want to trade in your games... i had to tell the guy, LOOK! I DONT SELL ANY OF MY GAMES!!! that shut him up :)
So, they could get rid of inFamous 1/2, but not Prototype 1/2? Not sure if they thought this one through.
I get rid of most games i only keep very rare games discontinued titles,i trade the majority at the start of each gen.
