Seeing as my other topic has been ignored, probably because its, er, no different to this one, I have decided to re-iterate my statment....

As is the way seemingly, I am yet another Nintendo/Xbox crossover now (both ways may I add) Hehe.

Anyway, now that E3 has been and gone, I have a rather large list of GC games I want. And the XBox looks pretty tempting too. Having played one on anf off for the past year, despite the horror that was Halo (joke!) I have begun to take interest in one.

Don't get me wrong, GC is my favourite easily, but I though I might as well chuck off the mantra of just being a Ninty, and actually play some other consoles, and with titles like Fable, Halo 2 (it wille be good, I know that) and whatever else you guys know about, I think I might as well pick one up.

And.....reccomend a website, of a similar ilk to www.Cube-europe.com, so I can looks through stuff.

And the best magazine too.


So, reccomend me games please. And give me some cash too. If you want.

If you're not a big FPS fan, don't bother.


I'm not, and I'm struggling to find anything else that's decent.

Not exactly the most convincing list there Mutant.

Bit crap to say the least.

You'll wanna most likely check out

Fable
Midtown Madness 3 (a Microsoft game that actually looks quite good)
Rainbow Six : Raven Shield (looks amazing, much better than the usual Clancy stuff)
Jedi Knight 3
Star Wars : Knights of the old Republic
Jet Set Radio Future (OH YES)
Halo 2
Conflict Desert Storm 2 (not planned for Cube)
Conker
Kameo
Dead Man's Hand (SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET)
Doom 3
Halflife 2

I'm sure there's more, just can't think of them.

Are you gonna be going on Live?

WS that is your opinion. You seem to think that there are 29 games on the GC worth owning within the next 12 months when it is untrue. There are around 10 that are definitley worth owning and ever then I could cut it down to around 7. There are lots of other games on the Xbox that are worth owning its just that they don't have the Nintendo logo so you aren't interested :)
