    I basicly keep every game I have ever owned mostly because you cant trade in PC games. Compared to many people I'm new to console gaming, it's not like I hated console games, it's just what I was dedicated to for so many years. Well, here're some games that I'll defenently keep.

    PC:
    -Deus Ex
    -Freespace 2
    -Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom (actually I own all Wing Commander games and wouldnt ever let go of any of them but if one has to stand out....)
    -Falcon 4.0
    -Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear

    Xbox:
    Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction.
    Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

    Xbox 360:
    Rainbow Six: Las Vegas
    Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
    Mass Effect

    GBC: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages

    GBA: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/Four Swords, Dragon Ball Z Supersonic Warriors, Dragon Ball Z Taiketsu (not a good game by any standard but it was a gift)

    Wii: Wii Sports, Guitar Hero III, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, I actually would sell Mario Galaxy but only after I get every star, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (again, mostly because it was a gift, but it's not a bad game either), No More Heroes (best game on the Wii (hopefully) until Brawl), Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, Mario Strikers: Charged, and of course Brawl when I have it

    EDIT: Forgot DS.

    DS: Super Mario 64 DS, Tetris DS, Bomberman, Dragon Ball Z Supersonic Warriors 2, Jump Superstars, New Super Mario Bros., Mario Kart DS, Transformers: Autobots, Meteos, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Metroid Prime: Hunters, Ultimate Spider-Man, Puzzle Quest, Brain Age, Brain Age 2, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Sonic Rush Adventure (hated it for the first little while but after about halfway through, I couldn't put it down; it's definitely better than Sonic Rush, but it just takes a while to get there)

    The Timesplitter series has always been awesome. It's definitely a sleeper hit, but it is a lot of fun. Honestly, it is the spiritual successor to Golden Eye, and in a lot of ways improves on it.

    I never get rid of any games... this means of course that sometimes I have to let recent releases slip by, especially if loads come out at the same time. :( 

    But in terms of permanent games, I regard this as games I'm willing to rebuy over subsequent systems, so far the only ones like this are Virtua Fighter and Tomb Raider. Hell, I bought a PS just for Tomb Raider 2. Crazy.

    I just picked up a copy of the first God of War for PS2 with a different box art cover than the current one. I really got into this game a lot and am glad it's snowing here now so I can play it.

    After reading the 100 Kirbies comic, I'm glad others love the Kirby games as much as I do. :) 

    Finally, has anyone else noticed that old NES and SNES games are becoming hard to find even for the common ones like SMB3, Zelda, and Metroid?

    I used to keep my games, but since I rarely play a game twice I ended up selling all my games and unused consoles. The only series I keep is Super Robot Wars.

    The GoW cover is reversable, the original cover is probably on the other side.

    I'll ad my 100+ legit Dreamcast games to my previous list

    Also my complete MGS collection in picture form
