I get a sense of attachment to the games I purchase that often ends up blocking me from trading them in. I've considered trading in some of my less frequented titles on several occasions, but each time I remind myself I paid too much in the first place to give it right back to the retailer and thereby re-feed the juggernaut.
I often re-visit the websites I gathered information from before buying the game to refresh my memory on why I bought it in the first place. It gives me renewed incentive sometimes, and I think it would work for many other gamers, as well. Give it a shot.
'Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction.' I have not played this game more than three times in total. I was a huge fan of the series on the PS2, but I didn't find the innovation in this installment that I did in all the previous ones (minus 'Deadlocked,' which I absolutely could not get into).
I just watched some gameplay footage. The art style is mesmerizing, and there's a lot of room for creative solutions to the levels. I was unaware of this title before, but I'll keep an eye out now.
[QUOTE="yarou1000"][QUOTE="NanakiNebula"][QUOTE="yarou1000"] except for in every other sport... 2k makes terrible baseball and hockey games... That's certainly true. I was talking about basketball in particular, each installment of their basketball series. In any case, basketball sims are quite difficult to get right, given all the distinct sty*es of all the players in the NBA. yep 2K is the best basketball franchise atm... Yeah, I think it has gotten the closest to representing a true NBA experience. Free throw shooting is still something of a hindrance, though. Syncing your motion with each individual player's specific manner of free throw shooting doesn't help the game's pick-up-and-playability. It adds an unwanted wrinkle to a casual game, as I found out last night when playing against my cousins.
[QUOTE="yarou1000"][QUOTE="NanakiNebula"]Yep, I agree. Not much of a challenge in that list. The 2k series has really upped the ante for basketball sims, however. Thank goodness the NBA Live series has been crushed for a while now. Developers like 2k Sports put much more effort into their products than EA does. except for in every other sport... 2k makes terrible baseball and hockey games... That's certainly true.
