Well, today I got a GC, with Mario Kart: DD and Mario Sunshine.

Pretty cool games and Mario Kart is just brilliant!

In the meantime, Christmas.

I want to get a game or two...What do you reccomend? Something thats pretty long I guess, oh and I don't want rubbish "sports simulators" either, something fun.

Thanks :-)

Nah I never got the criticism behind Double Dash either.

I thought it was utterly amazing!

People tend to criticise Double Dash for being samey and slow, when in fact its an absolutely wonderful game.

I never really got why some people moaned about it so much.

Yeah I used to have a GC, it was the first game I got.

Pretty good, just wasn't really a fan of the whole camera angle thing.

Still, Mario Kart DD is a blast! Never had so much frantic racing on crazy tracks in my life.

Loving this game.

Have you played the re-make though???

Because I've played Resident Evil too and the remake is even better for those who had played the orginal.

An example? Well I knew when the dogs were gonna jump through the window, i was ready for it. And as I walked, getting ready for the "jump" moment... it never came. Again it never came. I was all suspensed up for nothing. It didn't happen.

3 hours into the game and the dogs finally leapt through the window.

At that point I hadn't expected it to ever happen.

So I shat myself.

Hmm....there haven't been many games out on the Cube better than that to my mind. But then again, if you've never played it you wouldn't know...

I've played Resident Evil before.

In the meantime, cheers for the reccomendation, I think I am going to go for Tales of Symphonia and Metroid Prime (1).

I might get Paper Mario at a later date, I'll probably have to play it first before making a decision.

Yes, I have that one too. Looks very nice in my ever-growing collection, I must say...

Still sealed up in the original celophene stuff and everything aswell!

Nope! I must have bought it close to a year-ago now, yet I still haven't had the urge to play it once with everything else that's been coming GameCube's way.
