Yep, lately there have been many arguments over this, and we all know Cube is better than Xbox. If the world had sense there would be no PS2 and XBOX, but there is. So use this thread to destroy the XBOX enemy, and also use it for any Ninty related gossip you have on your chest when the enemy run off. Let World War III begin.
All hail Shvigsy, Ya!!!!

I'm probably gonna start another argument here, but meh. I think the GC is a console mainly designed for more serious gamers. The standard of the games are brilliant, it may not have as big a library as the PS2 and X-Box, but it has a higher ratio of fun, quirky original titles. Everything a gamer likes.
However if you look at the PS2 and X-Box, many of their games are good pick-up-and-play titles, like racers, shooters and sports sims and that kind of stuff. I find it hard to buy a game for the GC and find the time to play it, as most of them are quite involving. So I tend to buy more games for my X-Box and PS2 simply because those consoles are designed for the casual gamer, like myself.

Jet Set Radio, Dead or Alive 2... these sorta games made the system a really enjoyable game machine... I played it for five minute spats because it was simply rather fun, good enough reason to me.
For longer games I stuck to Skies, Shenmue, Code Veronica and Phantasy Star.

HEIL!
ALL HAIL SHVIGSY!!1!!1!
The Dreamcast was rubbish!
There were a few classics but the rest of the games were awful, with short lifespans and repetetive game play. I bought mine second hand for about £70 and sold it about 3 months later because it stunk. None of the games were worth playing for more than a couple of day, except for maybe Shenmue, MSR and Skies of Arcadia...oh and some robot fighting game that I forget the name of.

Well he amuses me!
The typical anti-Nintendo gamer calls the games kiddie, right?
Well he's acting like a bigger kid than anyone else in here :D

Dreamcast is a legend in it's little fun way.
Lesbian cube? Tell me where I can get one of those babies!

There's no way I'd ever pay full price for Dreamcast stuff, but at the price it's going for now, it ain't bad considering you can play stuff like F355 Challenge, MSR, Soul Calibur, etc.
I bloody hated Shenmue 2, though. Had it on the Xbox and it was one of the slowest games ever. Had to ask several people how to get to Wan Zhai, and then had to follow an old man who, given the speed he was walking, probably had crippling arthritis in both legs.
I took it back after two hours of incredibly tedious play.
