CHICAGO — With the expected release Tuesday of the next iPhone, some owners of the current version of Apple Inc.'s hit phone won't sit home and grumble. They'll sell, then upgrade.

Smartphones and other tech gear that are rendered obsolete by the latest version, or just get a little old, certainly are far too valuable to stash in a drawer and forget about. In fact, with an iPhone, you might be able to sell it for nearly the price you paid. But you have to know how to play the "recommerce" game to get top dollar.

With respect to the excellent high-definition remaster collections that preceded it over the last year or so, "The ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Collection" is and probably will remain this movement's high-water mark. Among the thousands of games that have appeared since "ICO" and "Shadow of the Colossus" first appeared, none has done what they do quite like how they do it. If you've wanted to play something like them in HD, only the genuine articles can help get it done.

To this day, "ICO" remains one of a very precious few games that found a way to make escort missions — those traditionally dreadful sections where you have to drag some defenseless person around and fail the mission if the dead weight wanders off and dies — fun.

Alfred Damon Runyon (October 4, 1880 – December 10, 1946) was a newspaperman and writer.

He was best known for his short stories celebrating the world of Broadway in New York City that grew out of the Prohibition era. To New Yorkers of his generation, a "Damon Runyon character" evoked a distinctive social type from the Brooklyn or Midtown demi-monde.
