Actually, no, this isnt true. Although I like the gamecube I have to say that you are being ignorant in thinking that all PS2 owners sit at home playing only the getaway and have no sense to play something different. Do you really think that we go nuts over a game like the Getaway? There are far better games that we sit at home playing, games as good as and better than eternal darkness.
> do you know what the blue cons are for?
like someone said you trade them in for a shine, there 30 on each level, then more dotted around the place, usually i hate things like this (collecting sculital things in zelda) but i love the game so much i just keep going.
As for ED or mario, like WS says get mario, when its your first game its best to get a game which will last ages, and also mixes diffrent "things" to do.
Eternal Darkness is an excellent game, though.
In that case I'd say get Mario, you can't go wrong for nothing.
However iam not that small minded to think that cause the xbox is good, everything else must be toss!!
I loved my N64, and only got a xbox cause i wanted a dvd player aswell
I know see the gamecube in Dicko's for 100 quid, and this excites me, especially as mario kart....pretty much my favourite multiplayer after goldeneye, is on the horizon!
Now i dont really know why im telling you all this...maybe to show that petty squabbling about whats better than what is getting boring now i have started wearing long trousers, and no longer say "my dads better than your dad"!
So soon i will be getting a cube...and yet i will still be looking forward to halo2 and perfectdark...but also mario kart and zelda!
So anyway..good day
and enjoy playing whatever you own!!!
as long as its not a PS2....else im gonna come round ya house and....

do you know what the blue cons are for? I have been collecting quite a few but don't know what to do with them.
