Which game to keep, which ones to sell?

[The Manimal]

I posted a thread in the Classic Gaming forum about taking a step back from modern gaming as I play the more recent games far more infrequently than I do older ones. I have a large amount of games I've never gotten around to and probably never will. Posted in this posting will be a list of all my GC, XBOX, and PS2 games. Looking for feedback on which ones are games worth investing time in to play...pretty much the 'essentials', and which ones to get rid of. Some (like Metroid, Zelda, Sonic, Ratchet, Sly, R-Type I'm probably keeping). I'll post which ones are sealed. Only one is a "Greatest Hits" type.

PK - possibly/probably keep
K- keep
PS - probably sell
? - wanting feedback

My personal experience only lies w/ PS2 games:

KEEP & PLAY THESE:
Ico (overrated but you can say you beat it)
BloodRayne (I was very pleasantly surprised w/ this!)
Extermination (kindof a poor man's Metal Gear Solid, decent)
Gungriffon: Blaze (hey- did I sell you this one? very arcade-y, less cumbersome than Armored Core)
Ninja Assault (fun fast Guncon/GC2 game, needs the gun to be fun)
Super Bust-A-Move (awesome easy-to-play puzzle game)
WipeOut Fusion (everyone needs a WipeOut game!)
Silpheed (decent launch title shooter, a local game store is still giving $8 credit on this & selling it for $25!)

Also, XGRA for PS2 is VERY fast, imagine the Xbox vers. is the same, though if you have to choose, WO: Fusion is better.

Dump Vexx & Beyond G&E. Vexx is way too "busy"/had too much going on, & despite it's high regard, I really didnt care for Beyond G&E.


Hey, that was fun & easy! Wish I could do my games that fast.

I figure you could do without Baten Kaitos and Nightshade, but the rest are pretty solid.

I looked at Baten Kaitos and noticed it uses a card system. God, I don't know why I bought this one... Perhaps good reviews? I have never liked card-system based RPGs. I like turn based.

I tried playing that game on several occasions and I got sick of it more each time. I don't know what the problem was, I've played a few card system based RPGs before and didn't have any problems with them, but I just didn't like this game at all.

As for what to keep"

Star Ocean

GC
Killer 7 (an extremely underrated game with a fantastic story)
