Yea I appreciate that, and as I said, I think I may give my Cube a chance now. It's been sitting gathering dust for months. I'm going into town at the weekend so I'll see what catches my attention, like Monkey Ball 2.

I've just been enjoying my other consoles so much that the GC has maybe not been given a 'fair' chance.

Okay, it does have some games that take a more serious approach, but there's just something I don't like about the Cube. I can't figure out what it is yet but I prefer my other consoles more, I just don't play the GameCube much.

I am going to try some more games though and see if it gets any better, because a lot of people say it is a good machine, and I appreciate Nintendo are the only 'proper' gaming company that make consoles now. So I'll keep it and give it a chance.

Well I didn't quite ditch my GC for the X-Box, but since I got my X-Box I've barely touched the Cube. But this will change at the weekend however, I shall be getting Super Monkey Ball 2, looks top.

The thing is, X-Box and GC are 2 entirely different styles of consoles. One is mainly made for arcade games designed for a quick blast, GC (In my opinion of course) And the X-Box has slightly more serious games. That's the way I see it anyway.

Players Choice has only 3 (at the moment) but they kick all the games in that list.

True, there are not as many, but you could buy Cube equivalents for just as cheap now.

Probably.

This range does have good games in, but nothing can be called a 'classic' until the next console generation come along and take things from the game.

Goldeneye IS what I call a real classic, and the original Mariokart is too.


Full List:

1.Crash Bandicoot - Nope
2.Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Laughable
3.Dead or Alive 3 - Good game, but not a 'classic', worth a butchers
4.Amped - Good game, apart from the odd controls (when you've been playing Activision O2 games worth £20
5.Munch's Oddessy - Could be one, I enjoyed this immensly along the lines of how I played Mario 64 and Banjo
6.Burnout - Good
7.James Bond : Agent Under Fire - They are joking
8.Moto GP - Good again
9.Project Gotham Racing - I hate this. Crap
10.Spiderman the Movie - Alright not worth my money though(dig at PS2 here, its on platinum too)
11.Max Payne - Not to bad, too easy and short though
12.SSX Tricky - Brill - Worth £20
13.Tony Hawk's 3 - Yes the series are classic, and this was the best till thps4, worth the money if you can't afford THPS4
14.Rallysport Challenge - Never played
15. Wreckless - Is a swear word, Diabolical.

And thats my run-down
