This thread has been linked to the game 'Soldier of Fortune 2'.
Traded in my Gamecube today at Game, and managed to get six Xbox games in return:
Freedom Fighters
Medal of Honor: Frontline
Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix
Soul Calibur II
Spider-Man
TimeSplitters 2
They're all good - if not excellent - games, apart from Soldier of Fortune II, which has to be THE worst first person shooter I have ever played in my entire life (possibly excluding Hexen). It's slow, the controls are about as responsive as an angry Whitestripes on a bender and the whole game reeks in regards visuals and audio. Even the gore - which is supposed to be the game's main gimmick - is crap.
I was prepared to stick with it until I had a taste of the Live play, as Tiltawhirl claims it's excellent... but that isn't much cop either. I had a few goes earlier, and wasn't impressed one bit. Compared to the likes of Unreal Championship and Return to Castle Wolfenstein, SOF2's Live is a big pile of steaming dog muck. I may give the game another go later on if I can be bothered. But I can't see that happening.
Good job I have 10 days to take it back before I'm stuck with it for good.

Alistair, as you may or may not be aware, Mark and I are good friends. Just like Weebl and the whale, you could say we're the best of friends (for our liking of Bob getting hurt...), and I have a GameCube with many games.
If Mark should want to play any of those games, then all he has to do is ask and he can pop over and play what he wants. It don't bother me, I've got more than enough memory cards.
There's also no doubt that I'll be kicking his backside at double Dash when it is eventually released next month.
Mark isn't saying he'll never play Nintendo games, just that he doesn't feel the need to have a GameCube.

Race you for it. First one to the movie forum wins the VCR.
Can I have my VCR back now please?
Are you a set of girls under the age of 10?
Jeez its hilarious how sensitive you people are. Why would I try to make him feel bad? If he doesn't want the games then the money he gets from selling it will keep him happy. I couldn't care what he does I was just saying how """""I""""" think it is silly to sell it so close to some great games.
Quit crying about it.

'Oh no, Beta!'
Seems to me alastair is really trying his hardest to make Dark Mark™ feel bad about selling his 'cube.
Just leave him be.
He wanted a xbox. He got an xbox. Done. Forgotten.
