"Gamecubes future"

Lets get this straight - im a big nintendo fan. I got the gamecube on the day of release and have been following it for ages and have really enjoyed it. But recently ive had less and less intrest in it. One of the reasons for this is the games scheduled to be released just haven't interested me.

I mean think of the games being released or just released on the xbox or ps2. Games such as Killzone and Gta San Andreas on the PS2 have been highly anticipated. Then theres games on the Xbox such as Fable and Halo 2 - two of the most wanted games for years. But where is Gamecubes big games? Metroid Prime 2 is coming out soon and looks great, i grant you that. Other then that though i can't think of any games coming out soon on the GC that im really excited about.

And the gaming industry is approaching it's biggest sales period for the year - christmas. With the decline of great and wanted gamecube games on the list for the end of this year is gamecubes time up?

Lets hear everyone elses opinions on this - it's intresting to see what other people feel.

That is because Halo is a different style of game.

And Goldeneye is the best game ever. And Halo is not.

Rainbow Six 3 online is the closest I've come to being compelled with a shooter like I was with Goldeneye.

I concur Halo is a good game alright, but do i feel blown away like when i first played Goldeneye?

No.

No it wouldn't.

Nope.

but if it was on gamecube it would be great???

Halo is nothing more than a standard FPS. No doubt it will be given 9/10-10/10, but that's because the media are stupid.

It's supposed to be very different to the original Prime - despite obvious similarities. So it could be as stunning as the first, just have to wait and see.

There'll be a lot of Cube games I'll be getting this Xmas period, but whether or not any will end up as good as Fable and Halo 2 is yet to be seen. Unfortunately Halo could be a little underwhelming for me as a don't have Live, depending n how much emphasis they're putting on online play over single player.

Ah well, who cares, all I know is I'll be enjoying games muchly this festive season.

I mean killer app in the sense that, in my books, the game is going to be a 9.5 - 10/10 title. I don't think this second instalment of Metroid can hit these standards, whereas I'm confident Halo 2 will, and Pro Evo will at least come close.

I take it you mean release this year?

Then yes, Metroid Prime 2.

Depends what you mean by killer app.

If you're talking about something that sells extremely well, then no, Nintendo don't have any.
