It was time for spring cleaning in my household, so I am getting rid of these games.
I try to possess as few video games as possible, because it is my dream to only own masterpieces. I havenāt achieved this dream yet ā hey, I canāt bring myself to get rid of Geist, okay? But I did manage to eliminate about a fifth of my video game collection this weekend. Bear in mind that, as someone who covers games for a living, I get a lot of discs sent to me that I would not choose to buy; among those are some I will mess around with and decide to either keep or get rid of.

Some games were made obsolete by their sequels: Viva Pinata, Endless Ocean, Resistance: Fall of Man, Geometry Wars: Galaxies, etc.
Some games I donāt care for as much as their predecessors, which Iām holding on to: New Play Control Pikmin, No More Heroes 2, etc.
Some games are duplicates of games I still own: God of War (I have the PS3 collection), Crysis Warhead (I have it on Steam), etc.
Some games are Mario Kart, and I realize that I never play Mario Kart: Mario Kart DS
Some games I like, but really, Iām never ever going to go back to them: Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword, Order Up!, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Brothers In Arms: Hellās Highway, etc.
Some games I tried, I really did, and I just donāt feel motivated to play any more of them: Valkyria Chronicles, Rogue Galaxy, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, Mini Ninjas, etc.
Sometimes I make mistakes: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas PC (Whoops! I realize as I write this that I was hanging on to that because it has the Hot Coffee material buried in it; I shouldnāt have put that in the stackā¦ itās a keeper, for historical reasons even though Iāll only ever play the PS2 version.)
I have other reasons for some of these other games, but thatās enough for now.
*Special Asterisk To All This: Either Advance Wars: Dual Strike or Advance Wars: Days of Ruin should have been in this stack, but I canāt decide which one to get rid of. I asked folks for advice on Twitter and the response was plentiful but mixed.
