Now it is hardly a suprise that in the January Sales Gamecube games are at an all time low. It is the same with every console... but nevertheless i am still stunned.

These are all high street prices (I will not disclose information on WHERE they come from as everyone should buy at SR).

Resident Evil: £19.99
Eternal Darkness: £19.99
Die Hard Vendetta: £22.99
Mario Party 4: £29.99
007 Nightfire: £26.99
Super Mario Sunshine: £26.99
FIFA 2003: £24.99

Now those are the shockers for me... it is a shame bar Die Hard, FIFA and 007 that I have them all but a new game like Eternal Darkness for the price of a PS2 platinum game! Shocked... now the games below are less shocking but some of these prices have been around PRIOR to the January sales... they're are less well known games... some are stunning but overlooked games... others are plain rubbish.

Star Wars: Clone Wars: £29.99
Lost Kingdoms: £16.99 (GO GET THIS NOW)
FIFA WORLD CUP: £14.99
SSX Tricky: £19.99
NBA Courtside: £17.99 (damn fine game by all accounts)
NHL Hitz 02: £19.99 (same as above)
ISS 2: £14.99
Crazy Taxi: £17.99
Universal Studio's: £15.99 (laughable)
Super Smash Brothers: Melee: £19.99 (interesting)
007 Agent Under Fire: £19.99
Cel Damage: £9.99
Burnout: £19.99
18 Wheeler: £19.99
Spy Hunter: £14.99
Dark Summit: £19.99
Dave Mirra 2: £17.99
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3: £19.99
Virtual Striker 3: £19.99
Turok Evolution: £19.99
Bloody Roar: Primal Fury: £19.99 (Highly Recommend)
Capcom VS SNK 2 EO: £19.99
Luigi's Mansion: £24.99
Spiderman: £19.99
Doshin The Giant: £24.99
Super Monkey Ball: £24.99
WWE Wrestlemania X8: £19.99

And yet not one place can go low for Starfox Adventures! Goddammit!

Seen it at £24.99.

Can't remember where, mind, and I don't really mind that much, as I've got it already.

>what? Die Hard the best FPS on cube? I would call you a moron but I see you haven't included timesplitters2 on your list. had you played that and still thought die hard was good, you would be mad.

>but smash bros. the best multi-player ever? do you just not play many multiplayer games or are you ill? smash is a great game, but the best multiplayer ever? you're having a laugh. best multiplayer? think: Mario Kart

geez calm down! Its just an opinion about the best FPS. I think Die hard is quite alot better than TSP2 and i own both games. Its just an opinon and so is yours, no need to call anyone a moron.
about the SSBM thing, mario kart and goldeneye are easily the best nintendo multiplayers of all time but I was just saying that SSBM was the best on the GC. I didnt realise anyone would bite my head off for leaving a few words out!
