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.

Sonic games should not have saves!

That will ruin them!

Can you imagine playing Sonic, dying on the last level and just returning to the saved area at the beginning of that level?

Bloody hell!

You've gotta sit there and play the games properly, no saving!

That's one of Sonic Advance and Sonic Advance 2's major problems. Because you CAN save, they're over pretty quickly.

Sonic 3 and the Sonic 3 & Knuckles combo are the only games you save on... which is exactly the way it's supposed to be. If you COULD save on the other games, the whole package as a whole could be completed so much easier.

There's no Mega Collection save problems! er-no must just be crap at Sonic games and needs a save feature.

DO NOT GO NEAR ISS 3 ... unless they suddenly make it good i saw reviews on it on PS2 or something and it was pants..
Only game worth buying for me is Zelda and maybe Red Faction 2.

Yes, yes, Burnout is good, but it is overrated. It's fun to play, but I much perfered Gran Turismo 1 & 2, while 3 took the series downhill and relied on graphical flair for sales, the first two were great games.

Let's just make up and praise Mario Kart :-D

Anyway, because Winning Eleven 7 is coming out, I doubt that Final Evolution will make it to Europe, much like Animal Crossing.

I doubt we'll get Winning Eleven 6: Final Evolution released over here.
It should be - as Football is something that appeals to Europeans a heck-of-a-lot-more than those hi-tech Japanese, and all their robots!
All the "Final Evolution" games of the past have only been released in Japan on the PlayStation. Why would we get it now?

Although, there is more demand for it now with the GameCube getting some in Japan. I wonder why the X-Box doesn't get it??

But perhaps they're intentionally making all the new ISS games bad, just so that EVERY European will buy a PS2 for the PAL versions of Pro Evo., as part of SONY's latest plan...??


And Burnout is NOT over-rated!! It's simply the finest racing series you'll be able to find on a console before Mario Kart GC!
Gran Turismo and all those others suck - just because they're too-slow and boring. Burnout is fast-paced and exciting.
