I have 2 games I was thinking of trading in: assassins creed and stranglehold

I was thinking of trading in assassins creed becuase it's getting REAlly repetetive..also guards seem to attack u for no reason (like running or being pushed at a guard..)and it's just really boring (like tapping the squire button during sword fights...requires no skill..!!) I havent bothered finishing it yet..I have 2 assassinations left and dont think I'll bother finishing it unless I get really bored..

the second game is stranglehold: I must admit that this game is really fun and awesome...problem is it's like 5 hours long..and the multiplayer is dead (not a single person online) even though it's fun I feel like I could have gotten a better deal for my money..

thinking of trading these 2 games in for used copys of farcry 2/dead space/saints row 2/ some soccer or basketball game (like fifa 09..) anyway do u think I should trade these games in??

I hate trading games in for that very reason: they dont give you much. But, I suppose keeping them would be a waste as well, I guess if you can manage to get like $20 or $25 store credit it'll help pay for a new game. I'd say rent Dead Space (unless youre dead set on buying it). The game is fairly short (10-12 hours), although if you love getting trophies, you could probably squeeze another one or two playthroughs out of it. From what I hear, Farcry 2 has a longer single player campaign (than Dead Space) and its multiplayer is pretty good.

I never heard of a store that you can trade games in for other games..but if thats the case then I would say..hell yeah, make that trade. Assassins Creed got boring right after I beat it..and i've never played Stranglehold like you said its really short. You can def. get two much better games then that.

Yea neither of those games are any good. I would trade them in or sell over eBay or something.

Sell them on eBay. You'll get more for them compared to the trade-in value.

Man if you can trade both those games in for even one game it would be worth it, seeing as Strangelhold isn't really a full game but a glorified tech demo. Assassins Creed, i thought was fun and i'm going to keep my copy, but hell if you can trade your games in and get two much better ones. Go for it!

Don't trade them at EB Games. They give you the lowest possible credit back.

If what you say about your store is true, then definately trade them.

Im stuck with trading my games to EB Games for only one.

I guess Ill trade some in for Fallout 3 or something..Im willing to give up Motorstorm, Resistance, R6:V, NHL 08, R&C:FToD.

They're all so old now and I havent played them in awhile. Except for NHL 08, I played it up until 09 came out.

Stranglehold might be short, but it's incredibly fun!

I bought Assassins Creed after the price cut, open the plastic wrap and... never played. I'm probably going to trade a brand new game like it's used. AC is not my type of game, I bought because of the price cut.

I still haven't completed Assassins Creed, I can only play it in short bursts. I've tried to go through the whole story and in the proper way. I.e open up viewpoints, pick-pocket people, so I can actually plan the best assassination. But after killing the third person in the game. It's really repetative and I haven't bothered playing it since. I think the story is good so far though.

never trade a game in. Sell them on e-bay. You'll get more money.

yeah i had that situation with stranglehold great game just not much to do i had it on 360 and ps3 and unlocked everything on the store with john woo just way to short and i think that what hampered sales they knew it was short so they rented it. i like both them games and you will not get much money/ credit but it will only get cheaper over time so trade them in.

Yeah there rates can be good on some games and terrible on others.Like they only give you 14.50 cents for GTA4 lol.
