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.

It's an adventure game.

If you like Adventure games, get it.

Never really played it. The screenshots never appealed to me that much and even its new players choice price hasn't given me the extra incentive to go out and play it.

I hate to say it but i'm not even that excited about echoes! (probbably because I was never interested in Prime)

Does someone want to try and sell its greatness to me now? Im waiting to be convinced...

You could argue both ways. If you went into the XBOX forum and posted that you would be torn apart and your body parts would be banished to the outer regions of the cosmos.

Yeah, they're utterly different.

Though I believe Metroid Prime to be quite clearly the superior game. Get into it, and you will too.

Style, possibly

As a game, no chance.

Okay, your right in that one is an Adventure and ones a shooter but I still think in terms of style they are almost identical.

And that's about all they have in common.

In terms of gameplay, they're both completely different animals.

Halo is a true First Person Shooter, whereas Metroid is a First person Adventure

Oh, I thought they were similar because they're both :

- To do with aliens

- Have metal armour

- First Person Shooters

- Both set in space (well, maybe not space but definatetly somewhere not on earth)


They do have alot in common, IMO.

I believe Halo IS better than Metroid, but that wasn't my point - my point was that theyre 2 completely different games, which share slight similarities.
