Now, before I start I'd just like to say that I am a PS2 owner so I am extremely biased in every possible way. This doesn't matter though.
I just the latest CVG (issue 239, October) and the cover feature is about the GameCube. How exciting. 10 whole pages dedicated to it. And I knew very little about Nintendo's new console so I read it and I am shocked by the overall shoddiness.
ATTENTION: ONLY CHILDREN UNDER 5 SHOULD BUY GAMECUBE!
Out of the twenty or so launch games, over half feature cutesy little animal characters and/or garish cartoony graphics. Pikmin? Super Monkey Ball? What the hell are they? They even made Zelda in to a cartoon! For a super powerful console, 2D graphics are not acceptable even if they ARE 3D but just look 2D.
And to make it even worse, hardly any of the games are original. There's the usual Mario/Luigi nonsense, Zelda, Star Fox, Bomberman (which I admit is cool), Fifa (obviously), Super Smash Bros and loads of other games which feature numbers at the end of their names. I'm not going to complain much because a lot of the best games on PS2 are sequels too.
And...oh god I can't even bear to say it...there's bound to be Pokemon. NO! Or, rather there will be Gamecube versions of Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple, Green, Silver, Gold, Crystal, Platinum, Titanium, Aluminium, Cardboard and MDF.
But that's the end of my little rant. If you really like cartoony characters running around doing puzzles and stuff then I hope you enjoy your new GameCube. I'll just be driving on GT3, shooting stuff in Red Faction, slaughtering zombies on Code Veronica and couting the days until Metal Gear Solid 2.
That's it...

Whos Robin?
Robin just really annoys me with his constant crappy remakrs about the GameCube. You complain about newbies writing console wars topics, Robin, Yet you are the person on these forums who has posted the most console wars!
Just stop, it's as annoying as hell and no one listens anyway!

Look im not gonna argue because at the end of the day they are only computer games, you happen to think the PS2s I happen to think the Gamecubes better. Nothing you say is gonna is change my mind.
As for Ninty being childish(which I don't think it is) if being childish means you get three AAA titles on the launch then good on Nintendo its all about gameplay and these titles are packed with it.

Well, now the Nintys are getting a taste of their own medicine.
You won't believe how many "don't buy a PS2-they're all sequels!" topics I've had to reply to in my life on here.
