"The month of may"

So here heralds the demise of March. At last the killer month is over, so many top class games... I'm still working through Resident Evil 0 let alone Super Monkey Ball 2 and Metroid Prime.

But I only have one month in which to do it as May sets in:

The Legend of Zelda
Hitman 2
Splinter Cell
Enter the Matrix
Burnout 2

Although only one of them is exclusive to the Gamecube they are all massive titles. Enter the Matrix WILL top the all format charts and after researching it for cube-europe I can say it is a must get (3 discs long!). Hitman 2 of course knocked Mario Sunshine off the top spot within a week! Splinter Cell was the biggst Christmas X-box title. Burnout 2 is new big thing in driving sims and of course The Legend of Zelda is a classic series of games and probably the Nintendo fans favourite.

I will be wanting all of those and Burnout 2 is the only one I will forgivingly let slip (driving games are damn good but not my favourites). That is the next BIG month in Gamecube gaming and it's just over a month away! Thank god we probably won't see another month like these until September.

Dringo.

The Gamecube enjoyed a much larger supply of EXCLUSIVE games in this month and unlike May two titles are particulary popular in the western world. The western games in may are all multi-format.

I thought Def Jam and Red Faction 2 was in April... I was unsure and so didn't put them in...

But DOH! trust me to forget Skies of Arcadia: Legend... I feel like a right dumb...

And Rickoss Enter the Matrix is not a cheap cash in, read the previews and you'll see. It is part of the Matrix story, it isn't based exclusivly around the film and instead runs along side it. The games cut scenes were storyboarded and directed by the Wachwinski brothers (or whatever) the directors of the matrix, the story was done by them too, the martial art moves were done by the actors and motion captured for the games, the actors used their voices including the rare appearences of Neo and Morpheus (the game centers around Niobe and Ghost). The weapons and locations were designed by the set and prop designers, there is over an hour of filmed footage that doesn't appear in the movie especially for the game. The game uses several gaming ideas such as space flying levels, driving levels and the normal third person action games. Your moves depend on where you are, how your positioned, who you are against, how many, what buttons you press and your health etc... so you are constantly perform new moves. If you switch to a second mode you open up even more moves and can walk on walls etc...

Oh and there's some hakers game. I am awaiting the first review for it. And shiny are actually a rather good developer.

My Birthday is in May and I'll be getting Legend of Zelda, Hitman 2 and probably Burnout 2.

You missed out Skies Of Arcadia: Legends.

You crazy fool! :-D

I like it, because there's not much films like it.
Sequel is supposedly better.
I hope it is...

Don't particulary like the film either.


Probably see it on Sky sometime.

I agree.
I don't want it.
But the film is released on the day of my Chemistry exam.
I'll go see it after it...

Yay! Some sense! I can't believe there is any hype at all leadin up to it.

*waves hand*

I predict that Enter the Matrix will be utter crap.

I've got Zelda on the pre order and I want, Skies and Resi Evil Zero and that should do me until Mario Kart or Mario 128 methinks.
