After about a 2 year leave-of-absence from Nintendo, and about an 8 month break from gaming altogether I made a comeback and bought a cube today. Smart choice, I know, since it was a mere £40, and I've been shooting zombies and cowboys all afternoon (I bought Timesplitters 2 and Resident Evil 3 with it).

Having been away for so long I'm wondering what's been happening in the Ninty world - what's been big and suchlike in the cube world - fill me in if you can.

I bought my Cube mostly because of the forthcoming Resident Evil 4 (which I've heard from importy people utterly rocks), but also because I was having withdrawal symptoms from gaming.

I'm kinda short on cash but I'm building a "stuff to buy" list, which so far contains:

- Resident Evil 4
- Resident Evil 1 and 0 (If anyone wants to sell me then name a price)
- That Donkey Kong Bongo thing

Any other recomendations would kick copious amounts of ass.

Thanks, glad to be a Ninty again.

It's probably about 7th hand.

I mean, yeah, mint condition, smooth and shiny and, erm, slender.

I saw Pikmin 2 for sale for £12 somewhere or other today - might look into that.

I got Resi 3 and Timesplitters 2 at the moment - but im waiting for a windfall/bank robbery to get me some cash.
