Not bad?

The whole thing seems a little biased if you ask me.

Burnout 3 isn't on GC, if that's why you highlighted it.

I have to say, some of the big games of last year were very disappointing. Halo 2, Fable, Half Life 2. For me anyway.

Ah well, all blown to pieces by the masterpiece that is Resi 4. Even if HL2 is amazing, I still can't be bothered with it.

The first two were. But then, I knew nothing about HL2 until the day before it was released, when I bought and downloaded it from Steam, then spent a week playing it. Fun times.

Yeah, which is why I think it's biased.

They probably never even gave the Gamecube a second look, just picked a random game and awarded it.
