This retarded piece of writing is taken from the Times newspapers, reivew of what's to come in 2003 for gaming.

"Nintendo is still something of an unknown quantity. It will certainly be pushing for more Gamecube sales in 2003, but will adopt a typically low key approach to promotion. Gamecube is aimed at children and Nintendo will not worry about trying to improve its popularity with older gamers. Some industry rumours suggested that if Nintendo's Gamecube failed it would simply make games alone - but that is to underestimate this player. This is Nintendo afetr all the folk who still have the handheld market to themselves and couldn't bank profits fast enough for 2 years as Pokemon ruled the world.

Gamecube titles to look out for include Disneys Sports Football, Super Bust-a-move 3000 and Dragons Lair 3D"

Complete and utter retards, either they're being payed by Sony to say all this bullshi-t or they really know nothing.

I feel like writing in and tearing them apart for being such complete nonces. The list of 'games to look out for' says it all really.

Complete morons.

WHAT?

Games to look out for and that is the best they can do? How about:

Metroid Prime
Resident Evil Zero
Skies of Arcadia Legends
Mario Kart
Killer 7
Legend of Zelda: The Wind waker
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3
Pro Evolution 2
Super Monkey Ball 2
1080 Avalanche
Animal Crossing
Final Fantasy: Chronicles


The reason why I got a GameCube was to play the excellent exclusives which look/are amazing! There are a few games I want to pick up from last year like Luigi's Mansion, Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil and Mario Sunshine but I got it for the majority of games that are going to be released this year.

Look on the bright side though, it is hardly an insult and to be honest is is laughable.

Arguably the worst article ever. Oh yes, 'aimed at Kids'. Who are these people?


"Billy, since the GC is aimed at kids, i'm sure it's alright for you to be playing games such as Resident Evil."


Jeeez, these guys need to get out more.

Who buys from there anyway?

The article is the most stupid thing I've read in a long time.

They do now, But they never used to. I remember walking into the shop and enquiring about some Xbox games and the fopey assisitants told me "Sorry, But we do not stock Xbox games as we are in a agreement with Sony" Now they seem to stock all 4 formats, But only a few Xbox/GC games and LOADS of PS2 games.

Its just morally wrong.
