...for ever letting my Gamecube go. Not to worry though! As this week the postman (or maybe Shigsy himself if I play my cards / death threats right) shall be bringing moi the following uberliciously ubertastically uberous items...

Pokémon Colosseum Gamecube Pak
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Smash Bros Melee
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

I shall be sticking to Gamecube exclusives this time around; F-Zero GX, Harvest Moon and Custom Robo all taking my fancy. Huzzah, and all that malarkey!

His desion is the best one of his life, it's brilliant that he's getting Harest Moon, it is one of the greatest games ever, I'm not going to get MGS2, but I don't really like shoot-em-ups or stealth games.

I seriously doubt that.

What put me off was the camera angles, the long 'communications' parts, the controls, and the game in general.

Bah,The Twin Snakes is poor. I really can't understand why everybody seems to love it.

Give me Splinter Cell any day...

I actually enjoyed the Twin Snakes, sure not as much as most Nintendo software but it was a decent enough game.

Fools. TS is infinitly better than SC.

Wonderous game.

It was a wonderous game indeed.

I wondered why I bought it, for example :P

Indeed. The long comms was ok and so were the fantastic cut scenes (I defy you to not be impressed by the first ninja cutscene).

Anyways - I lived for this game when it came to PSX. It was all I wanted and all I played for two weeks.

I thought I would feel the same way for the cube. Unfortunately - after 2 hours of extreme frustration I gave it up. It was just too fiddly, inflexible and unintuitive.

I think games like Splinter Cell have moved the goalposts to be honest. SC on the PC is a very cool game and concept.

So-I wanted it to be good. I tried to give it a chance (I am about halfway through) but I can't be bothered anymore.

It goes back to the store. :~(

Personally I found Twin Snakes a challenging little gem, sure too much cut scenes but that doesn't make the game bad just when you finally do get to play you are far more greatful for it.

I've never played an MGS title before though... and neither have I ever played a Splinter Cell game.

Maybe I should invest in Pandora Tomorrow... is it a vast improvement over the original?
