"Gamecube only has ten games"

At least, that's the impression given by my local Game store.

I went in there today and bought Project IGI 2 for the PC, and Sly Raccoon for the PS2.

Some of you will know that I own all three consoles, and as such I always have a look at every section to see what's out. So, after picking up the games mentioned, I went down to the back of the store to check out the Xbox and Gamecube sections.

Looked in the Xbox section and almost picked up Dead to Rights, but didn't. Then looked at the Gamecube section, and all they have is the 'Top 10' games. That's it! Absolutely nothing else, in terms of software. Plenty of other Gamecube stuff - cables, controllers, carry-cases and so on.

It's odd, because when you hear the staff talking, they always seem to speak highly of Nintendo, and - if the store is mostly empty - they're always playing on the Gamecube demo pod, or a GBA. Today they were pushing pre-orders of the GBA-SP.

Strange, then, that they seem to have no desire to push the GC and its software. I know the games are a little slow arriving, but there are more than ten games available.

Could be that there was an ofter?

Yep.

What is the point?

I get mine for free (cheers SR - well recently anyway) or for celebrations. B'day/Christmas etc. I only bought a few. For cheap.

He he he good one.

A certain retailer is selling all their GC games at £40, and occassionally £45.

It's GAME!

A certain retailer is selling all their Gamecube games for a mere £25 or less.... not SR though so what's the point.

I mean cats...

Yeah, GAME are a bit of a rip-off - that was another one of the points about GAME that I dislike, but I forgot to include it.

My local GAME has a load of Ninty's working there, they always recommend games to me when I go in.

I'd buy them if it wasn't so ing expensive.

Lowest price gurantee my

I've lost faith in GAME (not that I really had any in the firsy place) - my two local games both have very small areas of space allocated for GameCube, and when I once asked an assistant in the shop why there were so few GC games, he replied "We can only sell what is delivered" - so, obviously, he's a Sony fan. :-D

Nah, but I've just completely begun to ignore GAME altogether - I buy from CA Games (more GameCube shelf space in there than there is PS2) or SR.

I'm sure there is, I read it on the net somewhere. Think it was on IGN or a similiar site saying that Sony and Microsoft pay UK branches of Game for shelf space.

That's mad.

How can they have a chart if there's only 10 games?

Stupid GAME
