I like the ps2 because it is compatible with dvd's as well as all of the original playstation games.
I think that the game cube has the best graphics around and the most original games.
I don't really like the x-box I think that the other 2 are alot better.
I would like to know what you think and also any recomendations on ps2 games will be thankfully accepted

i agree
but xbox is too much money for me
By the way, thanks fo your help on Daer Meka..... I have got a GameCube.
That's the only answer you'll get from most of us lot here, so you're better of posting in the FOG chat. And we've all seen this topic started over and over again, every week!!
I'm getting a Gamecube because I like Nintendo games.
That doesn't mean that there aren't many fine games coming to the other systems, but, on the whole, they're not the titles that appeal to me.
The Xbox doesn't have any titles that really scream "Must buy" at me, but I haven't really been looking too far into it's future. It's best games at the moment appear to be Halo and Dead or Alive 3, and in all honesty I'm not the biggest fan of first person shooters or beat 'em-ups. I'm sure they're excellent titles, but it's not what I'm after.
The Playstation 2 is a bargain at £200 in my opinion, if you don't already have a DVD player. There is already a large quantity of titles, in many genres, with outstanding titles including Jak and Daxter, Grant Theft Auto 3 and Gran Turismo 3.
I've been playing Nintendo games for a long time though, and the appeal of these games is just too strong to ignore.
The Gamecube is also more of a family oriented console, with many of the games being targetted at all ages, rather than a more specific 'mature' audience.
Luigi's Mansion is the most obvious Nintendo title at launch, given that it features Mario's lanky brother, Luigi. Apparently it's a little short, but other than this it's typical Nintendo magic.
It's titles a little further down the line I'm really looking forward to though:
Star Fox Adventures: Said to be like Zelda in play, it also features Arwing missions, like those found in Lylat Wars. If they have a healthy combination of these, and both modes of play live up to expectations it could be a fantastic title.
Eternal Darkness: Not one for the kids, this, but it's epic story and promise of psychological horror has got me interested.
Mario Sunshine: It's a Mario title. Has there ever been a bad Mario platformer?
Zelda: The cel-shaded look is fascinating. Can't wait to see what direction the game is heading in next!
They are some of the titles that I anticipate most, though there are so many others coming that I can't wait for, like Metroid Prime, Rogue Leader, Super Monkey Ball, I could go on all day, but I'd best stop there!
So which is best? You decide. Look at the games, and take the console that has the most that appeal to you.
Since the GBA came out, the prices of Gameboy games has gone up! Grrrr!
I agree with you on the SNES front. I thought about saying that, but then I thought I've got faaaarrrr more N64 games than I do SNES. So I said N64!
:)
It's cheap!
Games, ten a penny!
Loads of CLASSIC titles!
Why go for anything else?
:D
