Grrr.

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.

Don't buy Starfox, borrow or rent it.

You have to play it, even if just to see the awesome visuals (beats the Xbox, let alone other Gamecube games).

But once you get into it and it dawns on you how awful the game design is, it'll really depress you to know you wasted money on it...


The more I play through it, the more I agree with Tiltawhirl.



If you've not already got Godzilla then get that.
Not much of a single player to speak of, but the multiplayer is almost as fun as Smash Brothers.
Picking up buildings, trashing towns, stamping on a big monster's foot and watch them hop around holding it...

It's all there.

They get the games earlier so they can review them and the zelda game was the japanese import and they had 3 weeks to review and play the game before their earlier january deadline.

They're unofficial so they get the games much before NOM and all the other Monkey magazines.

They also make sure they play through the whole game before reviewing it.
