As seen here (DS): http://www.goozex.com/community/forums/t/36063.aspx
Like before , I'm going to start listing games from each system that I have that I feel might be questionable (for whatever reason) and I'd like the goozex community to give me opinions on what I should do with it. There are 4 responses I'm primarily looking for: 1. Keep It [This game should stay in my collection] 2. YMMV [A game that really needs to be played to decide whether I should keep it or dump it] 3. Play it , then dump it [A game that might be worth a play , but not worth keeping. aka Good rental games] 4. Dump it [This game is crap and I shouldn't waste my time on it] Ideally I'd like less of #2 and more of the rest (yes it would be great if I could play each game I have and decide for myself whether to keep it or not , but if I had that kinda time we wouldn't be here right now would we?). If you'd like to ask me questions regarding anything about this list feel free.
Ballistic : Ecks vs Sever Baseball Advance Battlebots : Design and Destroy Cartoon Network Party (didn't buy this) Denki Blocks Forbidden Realms : Eye of the Beholder Final Round Golf 2002 Iridian 2 Jackie Chan Adventures Konami Krazy Racers Lady Sia Robopon 2 : Cross and Ring Spiderman : Mysterios Menace Spyro : Season of Ice / Fire SSX Tricky Star X Super Monkey Ball Jr. Summon Night : Swordcraft Story 1 + 2 Ultimate Muscle
Ballistic : Ecks vs Sever - let's see ... we have a game based on a lousy movie based on a mediocre game? DUMP IT!
ForGOTTen Realms : Eye of the Beholder - this is a YMMV if there ever was one! Personally I still have this one, but my recommendation is 'Play 5 minutes and you'll know'.
Summon Night : Swordcraft Story 1 + 2 - IMO these are better than the DS game, and definitely Keep It (for me)

I don't have actual play experience with Ecks vs Server. but it's actually supposed to be pretty decent

Ballistic I purchased on clearance from TRU I believe a long time ago. I was convinced based on a review from IGN , saying how the original game was ok , but Ballistic was WAY better (and 100% better than the movie )

With Eye of the Beholder , I remember playing the game ages ago on the SNES and being confused as hell about what I was doing. I blame that mainly on my age when I played it. I picked up the GBA port on good words of it being easier to play (compared to before) and the fact that I'm older now and could understand it better (hopefully). I'll give it a whirl though.
Only one I can comment on is Spyro Season of Ice which is a play and dump.
Personally I would dump all of those except Summon Night.
