Console Wars,
nintendo's Gamecube,
Sony's Playstation 2,
Microsoft's X-box

Which one do you get?

If you want decent Platform Games,How about Gamecube,Remember N64 and remember how many brilliant platform games it had,Mario,Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64 to name a few.Another reason to get Gamecube is because of its price,apparently £150-£200 sweet!.The Playstation 2 will have a Crash Bandicoot game.

Now Playstation 2,is it still worth £269.99,I dont think it is.Playstation 2 is the choice for you if you want some good First Person Shooters like red faction and unreal tournament although the Gmecube will probably have a few decent Perfect Dark style Games.

X-Box will apparently cost £300-350(trust Bill Gates to rob your money)and it will probably Have a lot of buffed up PC games,the only reason to get an X-Box in my opinion is for the Graphics and(I dont know if this is true or not)you can get it upgraded.

Now RPG's well there's Final Fantasy 10 and 11 for the playstation 2(although rumors have it that these may be on gamecube as well)and of course you will have Zelda for the Gamecube.

Sports Games,Playstation 2 will probably have some FIFA games and then Gamecube will probably have some ISS games. X-Box is likely to have some good sports games as well.

Racing games-Playstation 2 has Gran Turismo 3 while the Gamecube has Mario Kart.I dont really know much about X-Box's racing games but it will most probably have some decent racer's with amazing graphics.

Fighting Games-The Gamecube has the superb looking Super Smash Bros Melee and the Playstation has Tekken 4.

Adventure Games-The X-Box has the rather good looking Munch's oddysey while the Gamecube has Star-Fox:Dinosaur planet and the Playstation 2 will probably have a Tomb Raider game

So after reading my conclusion which console do you get?

If you want a good priced all round good console i would get the Gamecube.

If you want a console with some good games on the horizon how about a Playstation 2.

And if you want a Console with Amazing graphics and speed How about an X-box.
