Which I'm not particularly interested in, though I enjoyed Jak & Daxter & Maximo.

Also on PS2, which I already have.

Not interested in RPG's. Turok Evolution is also on PS2.


> It's got the Resident Evil series!

One of two titles that interest me - though I have already played them, and I'm not convinced it will be different enough. Graphics are fantastic, but the game is little changed.

Not so much that you can't get them - just that I expect there will (eventually) be more that I want to play. At the moment, there's more due that I want on PS2 than Xbox and Gamecube combined. Basically, the PS2 and Xbox between them cover pretty much all that I want.

We shall see though - if enough of the right games come along, I will get a 'cube. But they're not quite there yet.

I'd say there are more games I want on the Gamecube than on the X-Box. I've only seen one or two games on microsofts machine that look good to me. I won't be bying my Gamecube till later in the year, and by then I'll assume there will be much more titles out for the console.

I see the Gamecube having a much better variety of games than the N64 did. Loads of developers are jumping onboard with Gamecube because its such a nice platform to make games on. The only real category I see the Gamecube falling behind in, is car games at the moment. We don't have our own GT3 or MSR. Get a game like that onto the Cube and there's nothing stopping it.

It's gonna have the best platform games like the N64 did.
It's actually gonna have some beat-em-up's like Soul Calibur 2 were the N64 never really had any decent one.
It's gonna have Zelda, Final Fantasy, Evolution, and some other great RPG's!
It's got all the sports games you could ask for (well apart from a Rugby one! I'm still trying to track that down on PS2 but 'NO' shops have it in stock)
It's got the Resident Evil series!
It's gonna have some GREAT adventure/action type games like Eternal Darkness!
the list goes on and on....

What type of games were you refering to that you can get on X-Box and not Gamecube? (other than Halo) *cough* Perfect Dark, Turok Ev etc will be better than that anyway *cough*

:D

There is, for me anyway - games.

I'm still waiting to see more games that I'd want to play. Something I should have done with Xbox.
