Poll: What do you do with games you've beaten?

[Pariah87]

Money is far too tight for me to just keep games sitting on a shelf. Blockbuster have a deal here where if yu trade in a recent game you can get a brand new one for £14.99 instead of £40. Aha says I, that'll do nicely.

As a result, I'll get a game for £15, Black Ops for example. I'll do what I want to do with it, complete it, get as many achievements as I can, then take it down, trade it in and get Dead Space 2 for £15.

Some games I have kept, mainly because their trade in value isn't worth it now and I know I can get the 1000/1000 score on them when I go back to them. Viking: Battle of Asgaard.

I don't really see the point in collecting things. Movies I rent or wait untill they come on TV for free, Games I work on a constant cycle of trading, Books I borrow. I don't like spending money on something for it to just sit there.

I usually try and play around with other modes and achievements, so after beating a game on normal I might immediately jump back in on the hardest setting it will let me.

Apart from that I leave it until the storyline and mechanics are a little duller in my mind, so that going back to it feels more like getting an old friend back than more of the same

Depends on the game. I've played through Resident Evil 5 dozens of times. Some games I just want to get to the end to say I have beat it and never pick it up again.

Edit: Also, to get out of the game a whole playthrough. The game has something to offer, and I often want to see the story to the end. That and achievements.
