Im selling all my Xbox games apart from Halo2 for Cube goodness. Seeing as there is a mega dry season for Xbox also im thinking of selling it all togethor. I know I should just wait for the hot stuff but im not very patient and having a box that im not really goiing to use isn't too good.
Final Notes : :(

The Resi game are admiteddly excellent. But there hasn't been a new one out now for around 2 years and I completed all of them when I had my Cube multiple times.
The majority of the 1st party Nintendo games as Alistair said, have been a huge let down. I think the only Nintendo games that I've been happy with have been Mario Sunshine, Zelda, Pikmin and Smash Bros. Even Mario and Zelda felt like quite a step down from their much better N64 prequels.
I think Cube just goes to show that Nintendo can't support a console on their own. Sure they've got a few 3rd party friends now, but it really isn't enough.
The N64 was kept alive by Rare, if it wasn't for them I have the feeling that the N64 would have been a very similiar story in terms of quantity of quality games. Say what you like about Rare now, but they kept the N64 alive and without them I just see Nintendo continuing to loose any grip they once had on the console market.
It's sad to see, I love the Nintendo of old. But this generation has been nothing but dissapointments Nintendowise.

Pnly Halo2 remains in my Xbox collection now. The thing is now that I have live, if I lost it the Xbox would be useless to me. And this is where the Cube shines in my opinion single player games. Tale of Symphonia, Twin Snakes, Skies Legends, All the Resi Evils onb other formats or not im not willing to buy another PS1. And loads more which I never got round to completing first time round.
what about timesplitters 3 or ninja gaiden?
No, seen a deal with a new one with a HDTV pack, got my heart set on a 37" LCD with Progressive Scan an HDTV support. Going to nab the US package purely because they tend to run better than UK games 99% of the time.
Just buy a British one cheap and get a Freeloader. Less hassle and you'll be able to shift it easier when you're done.
Things are a wee bit dry just now, as is usual just after Christmas, but really there are so many games that I've wanted but never got round to buying that it really doesn't matter. Who knows, I may even buy Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow before Chaos Theory comes out.

Yeah, agreed.
The Cube has been a complete let down. Pretty much every game I have bought for it (depite being all supposedly top exclusive titles) have either bored me to death or when bought had nothing different to put them apart from the rest of the market.
I will grab one from the States to play Resident Evil 4 but aside from that there is nothing at all of any interest and it will no doubt be sold on to clear up some space.
Metroid, Zelda, Mario, pretty much all the major games that I was really looking forward to just ended up being unbelievable disappointments.

Other than Resi 4, Zelda and Mario 128 - there's absoloutly nothing that intrests me on Cube in the slightest.
Now considering I sold my Cube nearly 2 year ago and I tend to love Nintendo games, that's an incredibly poor showing. Hell the games I want haven't even been released yet. Oh Nintendo, how the mighty have fallen and released stupid games with bongos to boot.

Half those games are on Cube anyway.....I have to say, I'm only waiting for Chaos Theory, and the money looks mightily tempting.
Psi ops is also great.

You can find it at just over 10 quid. This is the best of the ones you've listed by a long way.
> Second Sight
same as thief 3
> Conflict Vietnam
I wouldn't bother at the mo. Give it another month or so for the price to drop more. Worst in series.
> Call of Duty
No stats so I'm leaving this.
> Spider-man 2
Definately interested in this.
> The Suffering
Ordered it too. :)
> Worms Forts
I'd check the reviews on amazon first. The lack of official reviews is unsettling. Too under-powered in my opinion.
> X-Men Legends
This also looks quality particularly because of the team dynamic.
