I don't know why, I finished Zelda and decided to return to my older titles rather than lunge into any new ones (Pokemon soon yay). I should really play the still far from complete Metroid but that bores me so I had a laugh a minute blast on the frankly excellent and addictive Timesplitters 2, had some mates over to play it too. This is turning out just like Perfect Dark on how much I play it.
So go on what have you been playing? and why?
Stuck it on yesterday and played it for 4 hours straight. It's a mix of gauntlet and BG:DA. The fighting system and spell system are excellent.
Also, I think I'll get the GC version of
> Worms 3D, I just think that version will work best.
Nope, the PC one will.
I'll tell you why...online. Thats where Worms is at its second most best, beaten by having a few people round to play.
You know, if you head on over to team17.com there is a Worms 3D demo for download. I got it myself but then again it didn't work as the demo had not been designed for certain types of Athlon processors or something. But they are working on a new demo which should fix that. But if you've got a Pentium, lucky you.
I'll be trying the demo first before anything. Me getting the Cube version looks pretty slight as I just don't see it joining my Elite force of GC games. Plus I'll be kicking myself after as I didn't get the PC version for online play.

I had a look at GameCube games at the weekend and there's a couple I might get now:
Skies of Arcadia.
Ikaruga (meant to get this ages ago)
I also got CUBE magazine to see what's in store, Mario Kart looks great, as does F-Zero GX. Also, I think I'll get the GC version of Worms 3D, I just think that version will work best.
If I get those 5 games that'll double my GC collection!
:)
Great stuff it is :D
I've just got the Master Sword (at least I think it is) at the temple of time, after spending a bit in that jabu man's belly as I forgot what to do.
:D
That was quite a while ago now.
*cries*
I wonder how much of my life I have actually wasted playing games.. nah i'd rather not actually :o)
Erm, mostly playing TS2, and Skies which will be coming soon. Yay.
Can't wait for True Crime, it looks amazing.
