I said I'd wait until March before buying any more games, but my policy has fallen apart.
Luigi's Mansion
SuperMario Sunshine
Rogue Leader
Clone Wars
Jedi Knight II
Wave race
Smash Bros
ISS2
Burnout
Mario Party 4
Eternal Darkness
Timesplitters 2
Turok Evolution
Reign of Fire
Pikmin
Super Monkey Ball
All the games I had before Christmas
Now I've just bought:
Cel Damage
Extreme G3
both from eBay for a pittance. And now Bomberman, Crazy Taxi, Magical Mirror and Fifa 2003 are all being watched in respective auctions.
If this carries on, I'll have to sell my Gamecube to stop myself buying games for it.
Die Hard Vendetta
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
Mario Party 4
Resident Evil
Starfox Adventures
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Timesplitters 2
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4
All must buys. But probably not Die Hard: Vendetta (may well take that back). I want, the following:
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Metroid Prime
Animal Crossing
Pro Evolution Soccer 2
Skies Of Arcadia Legends
Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter
Resident Evil Zero
1080: Avalanche
Burnout 2: Point Of Impact
Wario World
Conflict: Desert Storm
Killer 7
Viewtiful Joe
Product Number 03
Dead Pheonix

nice collection eh?
Shame really.
The starts of so well, but the more you play it, the more it bores you and eats away at your soul.
The fighting system is awful, the puzzels are boring, the locations are VERY pretty but the Gameplay is just so lifeless that you won't care.
It has it's moments, but it's generally poor.
I'm glad I only borrowed it.
I'm up to the 2nd mission of the dragon section, I can pretty much do it, just normally can't completely defeat the train.

It's not THAT bad. I think you're being a tad harsh, there. Obviously, you're entitled to your own opinion, but I'm finding Starfox to be a pretty good game... even if the Wind Waker is going to beat it hands, feet and face - well maybe not face - down.

This is true, i'd played it at least 3 times then realised what a shallow, souless experience it was and took it back to the shop.
