Gears of War 2 - is it worth me keeping it?

Haly · 02-03-2009, 21:22

Just doing a bit of a clearout to raise some funds and I've happened upon my CE copy of Gears 2 and I'm trying to decide what to do with it.

Looking at xbox.com I've not played it since the start of December and I can't really see when I'll play it next in MP considering I've got Left4Dead for my MP fixes and even then I don't play it as much as I'd like to due to time constraints. I did love playing Horde but everyone seems to have moved on from it to L4D which is superior anyhow imo.

SP wise, I've completed it on Normal so still got Hardcore and Insane to do but again can't really see why I would go back to it.

If I ever did want to play it again, I have a few options. First of all, while I'm working at Blockbuster, I can always rent it for 2 nights for free (although couldn't re-rent it again for 2 weeks). Also I intend to use a Lovefilm trial again at some point so that's always an option.

No idea what it'd fetch for but it'd all help!

So is there much point keeping it really?

if you can rent it again and people aren't playing it you might as well raise some money

Haly · 02-03-2009, 21:35

Yeah I suppose it is a bit of a no-brainer really!
Sometimes I'm rubbish at selling on games, they're the main things I hoard far too well

Personally I'd keep it, it's a LE copy and I don't really sell LE stuff, but if you want the money, go for it

leowyatt · 02-03-2009, 22:31

i'd just keep mine anyway

Haly · 02-03-2009, 23:40

Meh, I'll probably sell it I think. LEs are hardly rare on the 360 anyhow and it seems daft having something sitting there depreciating so fast.
Be handy to have the money too.

I sold my normal edition of Gears 2 about a month ago, haven't missed it in the slightest. As you say, it's easy to rent stuff now if you want to go through it again in the future.

I sold my CE edition about a month ago too. Maximise your return and sell it asap.

Remember I never keep games though so I would say this

It's on AVForums now along with a few other games so hopefully it sells soon
