Right i havent bought any cube games in a while, and am considering getting a couple for my birthday. I've missed quite a few of the top games, and for some reason ended up with a few games that stink like a cess pool. Right so i need help on, first finding out which games i've missed, and then deciding which games to actually get.

These are the games i have ( so no-one suggests them )

-Soul Caliber
-TS2
-ED
-Hitman 2
-CFDS
-Worms 3D
-VJ
-XIII
-MOH:F
-Burnout2
-Wind Waker
-SSB:M
-Animal Crossing
-Pitfall (twas free)
-Super Monkey Ball
-Turok (free again)
-Fifa 04
-Mazza Kart

Cheers for any recommendations... (Oh and i was considering getting CFDS2 and RS3, if anyone has any info on those)

Anyone got verdicts on Metal Gear? I played it briefly and the controls seemed very strange, especially the first person shooting where you have to press and release the A button to shoot. The sensitivity of the targeting there also seems way too much.

Oh and how crap is that animation for people talking when you're on the phone? The mouth just flicks open and shut.. I've seen tons better graphical animation on the original series of South Park..

Little niggles maybe.. The game overall looked great. Worth a buy? Especially as I like games with lots of cut scenes..

Metal Gear is a great experience and one of the best games around at the moment. It's not QUITE as enjoyable as Splinter Cell or Hitman and it certainly doesn't last as long, but it is still very enjoyable. It will stay in your memory as one of the best films you ever watched, put it that way.

CDS2 is a great game, one of the best. Skies will last you much longer than Harvest Moon. Much much longer.

Oh no, I didn't do it during the actual story. Just circling around looper land to level up.
Then, when you're beefed, just put the White Map on and do the proper story without any annoying random battles.

You need Metroid Prmime, I can't see it on the list which suprises me or my eyesight has gone wrong.

I remember him commenting on MP...........

but.......

Get it!

Anyhoo, MGS: TS is brilliant. Buy buy buy! The CODEC animations are legendary - not supposed to be 'amazing' oir anything..

Controls are good, except perhaps trying to get dog tags you sometime saccidently kill the guard you're holding up.

I don't think they changed the Codec shiznit from the PS1 version did they? That would explain it.
I haven't seen much of the GC version.
