Rare game finds

I always start my time at a game store trawling through the used games. In a lot of cases, you can find some great games for cheap.

Over the weekend I was do my thing and found Hotel Dusk ($25) and Castlevania:PoR ($17).

I was glad to make the finds. These aren't the most rare games I've ever seen, but I certainly don't see them often and couldn't imagine that anyone would want to part with them.

I also picked up Beyond Good and Evil and Timesplitters 2 because I heard good things in the past and they were pretty darn cheap.

Do you guys go to the used section first? Ever find a rare gem in there and wonder why anyone would abandon such a great game?

I never look at the used section. Well not that often. I'm a bit of a paranoid kind of guy, and I get paranoid thinking of used games, because you don't know if they did anything previous to the game. Plus...I always get the idea that it won't work once I try out the game D:Proke

I've never had that fear or that occurance. I keep receipts though. If I buy a used game and it doesn't work. I'll bring it back.

I hardly ever buy new games..
I buy second hand on the internet. In the Netherlands we have a great site besides ebay, which offers a lot of secon hand things.
I bought like 95 % from my game collection from that site.

I saw 2 copies of Advance Wars Dual Strike in my PlayNTrade, but I didn't want to buy it because I'm not into strategy games. But yeah, the game is a rare one to find, isn't it?hydralisk86

It is as it's out of print, not being made anymore.

That's how I found my copy, used.

Animal crossing wild world has become quite rare now (I am in the UK however)

Also, the used sections in game stores are the best!

I don't usually look at used DS games, unless I have $20 on me only and I feel like getting a new cheap game.

I always look in the used Xbox/PS2 game bins though :D

Hey can anyone tell me if these are rare?

Advance Wars: DS
Castlevania: DoS
Dragon Quest Heroes Rocket Slime
Elite beat Agents
Final fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales
Kirby Canvas Curse
Lunar Knights
Mario And Luigi Partners in Time
Meteos
Nanostray
Pokemon ranger
Super Monkey ball
Tetris
Tony Hawk American Sk8land
Viewtiful joe
Yoshi Touch and Go
Zoo Keeper

These are some of the games that I have I havent seen them I wanted to know if they were rare I think a couple are Advance wars and castlevania. But I'm not sure about others.

Yeah I will browse through the used section at Gamestop. Right now I'm kinda torn on whether or not to get Advance Wars: Dual Strike for $30 used at a local gamestop, I already have Days of Ruin. What do you guys think?Lone_Wolf5860

Dual Strike is almost a whole different game from Days of Ruin (except for the fact that the strategy elements are almost identical). The game has different units that were taken out of Days of Ruin, it has the war room, hard campaign, tons of COs, survival mode, and a "battle mode" where you use a unit and move around the maps and capture cities/destroy units in real-time.

It has more content than Days of Ruin (although both games are amazing and have different strong points to them), and if it's only $30 it's a MUST BUY!!!

Yeah, I think I will go and pick it up tomorrow. It's a pretty rare game and I can't pass up the chance! :P
