"Does Wookiee want a Gamecube?"

Do you care? I'm guessing probably not!

I went round to my friend FatButcher's at lunchtime to have a play on his.

He's got four games - Rogue Squadron 2, Super Monkey Ball, Sonic, and Luigi's Mansion. Didn't have too much time, being a lunchtime and all, so we only got to play Rogue Squadron and SMB.

Rogue Squadron was great - very similar to Starfighter on the PS2, and I had a bit of trouble with the controls, simply because they seemed too sensitive. That'll just take some getting used to.

Didn't play the main game on SMB - there were four of us, so we went for one of the party games - Monkey Flight, I think it's called. Great fun, and very addictive. I wanted to try Monkey Pool, but we didn't have time.

The controller is great. This was the first time I'd held one, and it was very comfortable. I think I still prefer the PS2's DualShock because of the rounded grips, but it's a very close thing. Certainly better than the Xbox's semi-moulded brick, I reckon.

So will I get one? Almost certainly yes, now that I've played one. I would get one this weekend, but I already have plans that will keep me busy for most of it, so I'll have to wait. But in a few weeks, I'll probably have one.

Well, you're the first person I know that will have them all.

Well done!

:D

It does indeed!

Yup! Though there is a slight possibility that may not be true for long.

Well, I know you have a PS2, but do you have an X-Box?

Nah, it's ok. I'll keep a look for the DVD.

I videoed it if you want it sent to you. Just a short trip from Chester to south wales by post

Oh, and that first track ain't so bad either. ;0)

(Grix was in one room, tv was in the other.)

Yup.

That soundtrack to that "Taking of Peckam" thingy is superb, MUST see that film. Missed it due to technical difficulties.

They're doing a 'His 'n' Hers' box set of that.

Comes with a free box of batter, for the missus...
