I highly recomend a few games for this years new year sales.

I got nightfire, vendetta, fifa 2003 and minority report for christmass and by far the best out of the 4 of them is die hard vendetta. its absolutely cracking! the only downside is there is no multiplayer and this sort of decreases its life span but the 1 player is the best any gamecube FPS has.

Timesplitters is too short and hard to understand, nightfires is just way too short, turok has poo graphics and rubbish weapons, MHFL is a great game but can be very difficult at times and 007 AUF is just too short aswell. die hard has just the right level of chalenge without making you want to throw the controler through the floor boards.

Die hard also has an amazing story line which really grips you and makes you want to uncover more into the plot. the range and variety of levels is fantastic with memories of the original die hard movie at nakatomi plaza + all new excitment on film sets, tube stations, a cinema, LA streets and the unnusual ceaser tuna factory! It really does have all the magic of a movie along with great action and easy to pick up and play controls. Die hard gets 10 out of 10 from me.

Another great title is minority report which i found quite fun.for anyone that has ever played urban chaos for PC it is alot like that. It is a really fun game with cool combos and moves to pull off on enemies. I havent completed it yet but the originality in the levels is quite addictive and is sure to keep me playing for a while. It is only £20 in some places now so i highly recomend that you get it. I would give this 7 out of 10.

Nightfire is a good buy but i find it quite annoying how bond seems to jump on every woman he comes across! the levels are all different and fun. some have more stealthier objectives than others. The game seems to be just like a film with cut scenes every few minutes or so. this can be annoying at time but it makes the games stroyline stand out more and puts alot more meaning and excitement behind your missions. I would give it 8 out of 10.

These are only a few of the many titles that have recently been released but i feel like if your looking for some good gaming quality then these three are the games to get. Fifa 2003 is a solid footy game and would also come alongside these shoot em ups as it has easy controls and alot of chalenging leagues and cups to be won.

Hope Ive helped out anyone who was pondering over what to splash their christmas cash on.

Story mode too easy? I bet you haven't done the last level on hard have you, no. Well the game does rule, and i claimed Metroid for my GAD, although it hasn't appeared yet :( The story line on TS2 is quite easy to understand, although i don't get what the Time crystals do.

I think the first level is really funny though.

They would've been just as well titling the level "The Exact Dam Level From Goldeneye".

:-D

I didn't find it as good as I liked it to be. But that is due to my own opinion!

TimeSplitters 2 is a brilliant game.

I don't find it short or hard at all - perfectly good single player with an understandable plotline.

Brilliant multiplayer.

Quality mapmaker.

Overall - one of the best games out on the GC.

The story mode is perfectly acceptable.

Hard to understand story line? What are you? Ten years old?
