Burn all of them and request that your mother and father beat you for buying gimmicky peripheral garbage like Rock Band.

Man, no RockBand love. You guys don't know what you are missing.

Ignore Erinu. I'm not sure he's ever said anything relevant, true, or interesting.

Oh, I know what I'm missing: one of the easiest rythm games ever made.

Rock Band's songlist and connectivity with Bemani-level difficulty really would be my dream rhythm game. The drums had me interested in checking out Rock Band for a bit, but it's impossible to stay interested when there's a recent Drummania machine a minute away.

Well, scratch out the "true" column. Now to work on "relevant" and "interesting" !

Easy or not, it's fun.

I'm not saying that I don't- but I will say that you definetely do this in SPADES.

As for this- if you like the games, keep all of them- find another way to make money. Regardless of cost- if you can honestly say you never see yourself playing one of them again- then by all means, sell that/those one/s. Buy/keep the games to enjoy and play- it's more fun this way

A rare/valuable game still doesn't provide the fun factor of a cheap, affordable open game no matter who you are.

Rock music sucks to begin with. Why you would buy a game about it, I have no idea. If you really need to sell the games, why not sell them here? Not that I could buy any of them, but I'm sure a lot of people here would love to buy them off of you.

But if I were you, I wouldn't even bother selling any game, shmup or not. In my experience, games always go down in value to the point where it's not even worth trying to get money out of them. You may as well just keep them.

PS: I actually LOVE rhythm games. If you wanna play real games, I suggest you get one of the beatmania IIDX games or Pop'n Music games. There's supposed to be a Pop'n mouse being released soon, so you may wanna get that if you can't afford a real ASC. But whatever you do, NEVER order from desktoparcade! That bastard took over 6 months to ship my controller and didn't put the LEDs in it like I had ordered.

Just a reminder not to drift too far off topic...

Yeah... that about covers it.

If it were me though (which it clearly is not... Perhaps you should play the games?) I'd keep ESPgaluda, Dai Ou Jou, and Ikaruga. Sell Ibara, Gradius V, and Thunderforce V. Buy/download the soundtracks for the later two and you have the best parts of the games without having to play the games! Win!
