Six Xbox 360 Games I shouldn't have sold (and 5 I shouldn't have played)

Rikki Grimes from the knights of gaming writes: We all make mistakes. For me, walking through the used games section of a video game store is like walking into a class reunion and bumping into some long lost friends. Sometimes seeing a game will make me cringe, embarrassed that I ever spent time with such a stinker. Other times I linger, wondering, "What the hell was I thinking? Why did I give you up?" Here's a list of 6 mistakes that I made in my game trading past.

EDF came out before the PS3. There wasn't that many games out back then. Lots of people played it because they wanted something new to play.

[Cajun Chicken]

Hey, hey, incredible game, still hope they make a sequel with Palewing from the second PS2 EDF game with online play. EDF rocks, made me go an scout out the PS2 originals too. One of the rare 360 exclusives I'd like to set foot on PS3.

Oblivion,I did rebuy for Ps3 but couldn't get back into it,I have been tempted getting it a third time.

Dead rising,I had lots of hardware failures in the first year (and one last week) and I'd had enough,but I wish I'd kept it,I still play the 10 minute demo every so often.

I went through lots of games during that launch period,and it was bleak,lucky I was able to abuse games policy of return a game after a week and get a full refund,Must of gone through 30 or so games fo 50 quid :),but my final choice is Kameo,
Before the 360 my main consoles were nintendo systems,and I was really looking forward to this on the cube,and being a rare fan since the ultimate days,I was quite hyped.But I found it really boring,and not like the rare I knew,so I got rid after a couple of days.
A part of me wishes I'd played on,in hope of finding that rare magic.

EDF is a great game. It's simple - get some guns and shoot lots of giant ants/spinders, practicallly levelling an entire city in the process, what more do you want? It's pick up and play fun at its very best!
Perhaps it'd be better suited to XBLA, but its still a fun game. The achievements are a pain, though.

[TheDude2dot0]

The game I wish I kept was Crackdown.

[Timesplitter14]

6360 games must cost a lot of money

[Timesplitter14]

ok before people get confused, the original title said "6 360 games I shouldn't have sold"

[zoneofenders]

LOL 6360

[Hiruma Youchi]

Earth Defense Force 2017

that game hard as f1ck.

The boss where you fight against The giant Robots Shooting that big Laser near the beach is Ridiculously hard.

[zoneofenders]

this game has some sort of strange fame in japan thanks to niconicodouga.

[Eiffel]

A friend of mine brought it over and we played it, although still laughing at the complete random combat along the way. Good 2 player Co-op game.

[ChampIDC]

EDF is a great game for those times when you don't want to think about anything. It's a great game for mindless destruction.

It can definitely be hard. The game pretty much expects you to start on easy and work your way up, but starting on normal is possible if you play smart. Starting any higher than normal is flat out impossible. Good weapons are a necessity.

[Aloren]

That game was strangely addictive, and actually required strategy in higher difficulty modes.
Though the mission you're talking about is not ridiculously hard, did you finish the game ? that one was actually fairly "easy".... I do agree this game can get ridiculously hard though, the few last missions on inferno were insane.

[MoneyMarko]

it's time for 360 owners to meet buddha

[N2NOther]

Maybe they kicked him out of the RV2 rooms because he sucked. When I played we generally didn't kick people that contributed to winning.

[Baka-akaB]

I'm not saying anything about the list per se (and i dont resell games anyway) , i just find a bit unhealthy that kind of obsession about achievement points (or trophies as well to not make anyone jealous and start a war) ... but hey to each their own .

I just mean i dont see what the correlation between points , and their amount and these game . Hell he even counts the "amount he do have done without"

[Kushan]

I guess one way of looking at it is if you've not got 1000 points in a game, you've not "finished" it. Sure, you might have beat the campaign on the hardest difficulty setting with just the frying pan, but there's still stuff left to do.
For me, Achievements (and trophies! If you ask me, they're pretty much the same thing) are a nice way to get more out of a game, a way of making you do things you might not have considered before.
Even if there were no points and no direct way of comparing them with your friends, I'd definitely still go for achievements. It's always nice to see the little "Achievement Unlocked!" pop up, even when you're not expecting it.

Im thinking of trading Call Of Duty 4 for Left 4 Dead. Should I?

[II Necroplasm II]

Uh yes if you're tired of COD4 and waiting for the second Modern Warfare game anyways.

[GamerPS360]

buy it again.

[hatchimatchi]

i don't sell games or systems anymore. Too much regret when i look back at all the systems i gave up for nothing (saturn, dreamcast, etc.)

[Rock_On_PS4]

In future keep all your games.

[lukeoplakea4u]

It is true selling your games is a loose loose situation... you think you're getting a decent deal when in all reality you probably paid 60 bucks for a game and then selling it for what 15- maybe 24 dollars? Hose job! so you get screwed 2 ways money and you will miss that game. Every game i sold i have wanted or bought back.

[Transporter47]

it's a waste of money selling your games even if you don't play them cause hell your better of renting them then buying them if your just going to buy it to sell it later

[KwietStorm_BLM]

I'm trying to find the news hidden in the article. Maybe someone could help me out?

[Goldenboy87]

I gave up my PS1 for Phantasy Star Online for the Dreamcast and being the complete noob I was (not anymore!) didn't even have ONLINE!

Flame away! lol

Biggest mistake I ever made!
