"Pro Evolution 2"

At last gamers other than the PS2 sort will get a chance to play the greatest football game ever made! Details are scarce at the moment but Cube-Europe say that the game will be released this year. What do you think about the game? Are there any updates on this news and what will be added to the GameCube version? I am very excited about finally getting a chance to play the Pro Evolution series once again after 5 years of being deprived from the PSONE versions. Any news, information and updates that I find about the game I will post in here but I would appreciate it if you would do the same. So, who else is looking forward to this one?

That's where you wear hats on your feet and hamburgers eat people.

You are living in Japanese tranlsation land.

Yes. The reason I wrote..

It's called Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, isn't it?

Yes indeed. You might want to take a look at these existing GameCube titles:

Mario Party 4
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Starfox Adventures
Star Wars Jedi Knight II (X-Box version also available)
Die Hard: Vendetta (Possibly, opinions vary)

Oh, and then there's these upcoming beauties:

X-Box:
BC
Fable
Star Wars: Galaxies
Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic

GameCube:
The Legend Of Zelda: Winds Of Takuto
Phantasy Star Online Episodes I & II
1080: Avalanche
Wario World

And then you want a bit of cash left over for those other titles later on, such as Capcom's 5, Deus Ex 2, Halo 2, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, etc.

The Xbox launch titles were excellent in my opnion. In the end I chose Halo and RalliSport Challenge and to this date I will stick by Halo as being my favourite First Person game bar Deus EX!

I picked up a copy of Wave Race: Bluestorm tonight, my expectations weren't too high which is good because the game exceeds what I originally expected. Hype kills games off and I am trying to play down Eternal Darkness before I make the purchase because otherwise I will feel disappointed. Halo lived up to my hype, Shenmue's 1+2 lived up to my hype, Splinter Cell lived up to my hype and so did Deus EX and bar that I have been uterly disappointed with games that I have had high hopes for. Thankfully Wave Race was a game that I knew would be good but I decided to let the game do the talking and thus far I have been very pleased! Tricks are hard to pull off and as of yet I am finding it difficult to settle with a particular characters style and balance but I have plenty of time to figure that out.

I will pick up Eternal Darkness and Mario Sunshine as currently released GameCube titles but then I am going to pre order Metal Gear Solid Substance, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball, Metroid Prime, Skies of Arcadia and Resident Evil Zero. Sometime this year I will pick up a second hand PS2 as well because my PC is very tricky when it comes to the GTA games and I don't want to miss out ona very fun and entertaining series. For now though I am happy with my Xbox and GameCube and my decision to keep my GameCube for exclusive titles has so far paid off and it has paid very well. What a month March is though for both the Xbox and GameCube, I take it most will be picking up the games I will? Or are there some I have missed?

Sounds good, but what titles did you choose? Could you pre-order any? It doesn't sound like such a great deal, when you look at the selection of titles back then.

I couldn't believe it! Thankfully however they did do the 2 free games offer along with an extra controller and due to the 14 weeks (12 weeks over what they stated) that I waited for them to arrive they threw in a DVD Playback kit as well so I didn't do badly in the end. I felt like complaining further and forwading the email she sent me to Microsoft head office to see what else I could get out of them but in the end I settled for the compensation.

That sucks. Best thing is to get a console straight after a price cut/release, or at the beginning of December. That way, you can be sure.

When I click to send the email it said that they are currently under going construction work and they will hopefully be back up within 7 days. I will keep trying to send until I get a decent reply!

Having said that before I got my Xbox I emailed Microsoft asking about a price cut and the woman who replied said not for a long time... 2 days later I got my Xbox and the same night they announced a price cut and the 2 free games offer! How do these people become employed? Unless of course she was told to say that...
