Now before you start having a go at me for being a PS2 man, I can assure you that I never mouth off about any consoles without any reasoning....I am not here to argue about anything anyway.

I have been giving thought about getting a Gamecube towards the end of the year (maybe as a Christmas present). In my opinion having a PS2 and a Gamecube will be beneficial for me since I willbe able to play different types of games on both consoles.

Now since I know as much about the Gamecube as Claudio Ranieri about football, I would like you to let me in on some of the best games that will be out for Gamecube in the next year or so. Please dont mention games that are PS2 conversions.

And if you dont mind could you also say why in your opinion Gamecube is worth getting...

Thanks a lot.

Only Kameo has nothing to do with Resident Evil...

You play some mystical woman who can capture monsters Pokémon style and you can send them out or turn into them to use as you see fit, each monster having it's own ability.

One can climb walls, another can breath fire, one can throw eggs... etc...

u should get a GC coz Sony Gaystation Poo sux big buttoks and Nintendo are bezt cos i sed so...

*ahem*

Well, there are lots of good games...

Super Smash Bros. will be great if you are a Nintendo fan, because of the classic characters, and trophies of all the Ninty greats, but it'll be good regardless of whether you are a long time fan or not.

Mario Kart will be awesome, with multiplay mayhem and maybe even online functionality!

Perfect Dark 2 will be great, and will also be an incredibly strong multiplay title, as well as being quite possibly the best Console FPS! Rare aren't just gonna churn out a sequel to a winning formula... there will be an evolution in this title as we saw PD evolve from Goldeneye.

Eternal Darkness takes Resident Evil survival horror, takes out the B-movie style shocks, and adds in a subtler (but much scarier) style. This will be built with both gruesome enemies, and the 'insanity meter'. As your character sees more and more 'freaky s***' then you start to question your sanity, and may begin to see things, may experience things that aren't real, etc. It should add a lot to the experience, never quite knowing what is real, and what is just 'in your head'.

Mario and Zelda will undoubtedly be great, and (hopefully) will be epics despite the 'short and sweet' policy.

Other notable games include 'Kameo' by Rare, a new Res Evil game for all you horror junkies, that really cool looking Footie game by Sega (the one with a goallie and 3 others, and you play no rules footie with cartoon like characters and stuff! Well, I thought it looked cool anyway!) and some other stuff I can't think of at the moment... Oh yeah, Starfox Adventures, that's what I was thinking of! That looks great too, with an adventurey Zelda style gameplay by the looks of it. And it's by Rare, so expect great things!

That's all for now, I'm sure other people will come up with lots of great games for you to think about, but my mind has had its' few minutes use for today...

Having to grapple to pull off a move looks a bit dodgy too.

You don't see that sort of grappling in real wrestling.
Instead of holding them in a grapple, perhaps a better way of "grabbing" them would be better.

You could simply grab hold of their head and hold it until you're ready to move, or if you press the combination quick enough, it goes straight into the move without needing the "hold" animation.

Perhaps there could be a stamina meter.
The more hurt you are, the lower it is.
The more energy you use by pulling off moves, the lower it goes, and it slowly regenerates as you rest.

The more stamina you have, the faster you be and the harder your moves would be, or something along those lines atleast...

Hopefully No mercy without the slowdown :)

That would be nice...

They really dont need to change it that much, i think the engine is just fine...just needs a little injection of speed.

It'll be more like No Mercy (different develloper to both Smack Down and Attitude).

WWF Wrestlemani sounds the best to me to be honest...Is it going to be arcadey like Smackdown or more kinda WWF Attitude?
