Im ordering a Cube on Wednesday and will probably get it for the Weekend!
Are there any decent bundles I should check out before I go and buy it on SR?
I've got £150 to blow so what games should I get? (Not WW because I've already completed it at my mates house).
Harvest Moon 2 looks good, whats it about?
That is all.

so would you say it is more like half life in that respect? or maybe red faction?
i agree with cyclone that HALO has been blown out of proportion mainly because it is one of the XBOX's only half decent exclusive titles so it is the main thing that XBOX owners brag about.
Now you mention it Gerrid, I only really play co-operative mode and that may be why I find it so exciting and atmospheric.
I think i might give metroid ago now. I dont think there is anything else out there quite like it so it's probbably one of those things that you dont know what its like persoanlly till you've tried it... *like liptons ice tea, yuck!*

Halo's excellent in co-op and multiplayer, but I find the level design in the one player quite poor.
Metroid is not about open spaces, it plays a little like a massive Dungeon from a Zelda game.

Halo is a good game, but been blown far out of proportion.
Metroid Prime is genius.

Would you admit that HALO is a good game though? I'm a GC owner not an XBOX owner and I still give HALO its credit for being a gaming masterpeice. I'm not sure what it is about the game the impresses me so much. I certainly like the way in some levels you band together with marines and work as a unit aswell as being able to get into most of the vehicles in the game.
Metroid looks quite claustraphobic? are some of the levels big and open or are all of them set inside corridors and dark areas?

How long it lasts depends on how good you are and how much you want to play.
Minumum it would last about 15 or so hours, but that's if you rush through it as fast as possible and use a guide. I've heard that some guy completed it in 3. Now THAT is ridiculous.
I'd say it's better than Halo. The locations are much more varied and the enemies are much more interesting, as they aren't just Human AI in alien skins.
The guns are not really traditional blaster guns, more tools for defeating enemies and solving puzzles.
Then there's the different visors and the platforming sections, along with the morphballing and the superb, superb bosses, none of which Halo has.

I need the seller to reply tonight so we can sort out the payment method and stuff but all hes done is sent me an invoice. Its like hes ignoring me, I sent him an e-mail saying something like this :
"Im interested in your Gamecube Package but I would not beable to pay you until Wednesday (26th May) because that is when I get paid. I can send you a Cheque dated for Wednesday on Monday and then when the cheque is cleared you can send the item, please tell me how you want to do this."

how many hours of gameplay would you say it is roughly?
Is there a large arsenal of incredibly cool weaponry? One thing that made Halo so incredibly lush was those sticky grenades! It was one of the greatest feelings to see a ghost come whizzing past and see a perfectly timed throw land a sticky grenade right on its bonnet, then watching as it blew the geezer riding it sky high! what a sticky mess!

It'll be betther than the previous two but not worth spending your money on when you don't even have Mario Kart, not to mention a whole bunch of other games.
Does anyone know what this next Harry Potter game will be like?
Is it supposed to be good or is it just gonna be another one of the previous games?

I loved metroid even way back on the SNES, I completed that game like 10 times. That stupid motherbrain at the end was so much fun killing :o)
But yeah, the GC version is excellent, took me a while to get into but never completed it because I didnt have time tbh. Im going out to buy serious sam sometime soon because its what i've been looking for, arcadey shooting fun.
Metroid is the balls though. Morphing into a lil' ball is the greatest.
