Well one way might be to say something that I'm about to say...

I'm thinking of picking up a GC as soon as tomorrow.
A couple that haven't stopped breathing might now be thinking "why the change of heart ?"

The most obvious reason is that I have flu right now so chances are its the words of a sick bloke ranting.

The other is that I've been laying in bed thinking back to games I played such as Metroid and Zelda and how there are times I'd like to play them again (but of course in they're new forms). Afterall, at the end of the day I am a gamer, not a fanboy and I've grown up with Nintendo games.

I might also look into a Gameboy Advance SP towards the end of the month with some of the classic Snes games that are out or coming out.

If I get a GC, this is what I'm thinking of grabbing...
Black GC
Extra controller (black of course)
Resident Evil
Resident Evil Zero
Mario Sunshine
Advanced scart lead (for best pic and sound quality)

Then of course I'll pick up Metroid Prime and Zelda as they come out. Don't need a memory card as I have the one from when I had the GC before. Anyway, thats the current thing going through my head.
Blame my credit card taunting me while I'm ill for this happening.
Right, well I'm off to ponder more on this and decide on how I'm going to pay for it all if I decide to go shopping tomorrow.

Starfox is like having to watch Gareth Gates sing without his pre-recorded tape playing in the background.

Starfox is good. The ending however is absolute tripe!

Don't get Starfox, it's about as entertaining as a poke in the eye with a pointy stick.

I have had silver for a week and have only played for 6 hours - I've had Starfox Adventures to distract me though...

My Pokemon rule though.

Haven't started my Zelda game yet - been busy clocking up 24 hours on Pokemon Sapphire. ;-) Would be more but I've managed to fit in some time for some of the other games I bought. ;-))

I've bumped into some of the old faces in the game finally and even caught a few. Its been an experience trying to work out the strengths and weaknesses of the new Pokemon though. ;-))

I finished off the abuse of my credit card with a couple of last purchases. I managed to track down Super Streetfighter 2 for the GBA (surprisingly difficult) and I also ran into an offer of Super Gouls and Ghosts along with Streetfighter Alpha 3 for £20 as well so I caved in and ordered that.

Right ! Thats it now ! No more spending on games till I have a damn good amount of the bill paid off ! ;-)) I have to put a flight on the card yet which is gonna bump it up so I really have to stick with what I've bought now. The next game I will probably buy will be Zelda Windwaker.

If you want a simple game which you can playthrough with no difficulty, get sir starfox Adventures. It's Criminally easy.
