From a review of "Pikmin" on IGN:
"That said, it becomes extremely important to take care of your Pikmin because of the tight 30 day schedule. Unfortunately, in game time each day is only about 15-20 minutes long depending on cut-scenes and pauses. So in the main adventure only amounts to about 10-12 hours of gameplay. This is perhaps Pikmin's biggest flaw. It rushes you through these lush environments forcing you to complete the game in about 10-12 hours. Ever worse the last two of the five environments are absolutely spectacular, packed with puzzles, and we need not spoil the awesome last boss for you. Why is that a bad thing? Simply because you don't want it to end. Pikmin is such a fresh, new kind of experience and you are rushed through it."
So it forces you to finish in about 10hrs?
Balls to that.
I think I wasted my money on a Gamecube to be honest, Star Wars is good but I've done it and the Monkey Ball thing is simplicity itself.
And nowt being released I want.
That'll learn me to ignore my instinct and return to my own vomit.

Never a truer word was said.
It's always going to be the console that has the most good games that is going to be the best. Do you all agree? Does that mean the PS2 is best? Is that going to be the definative answer to the console wars?
Each console has the POTENTIAL to be the best, but it's not the console's right to be the best straight out off the production line. If, suddenly, 100 top titles were released on the Sega Saturn, then that would become the best console.
It's obvious that the GC and X-Box aren't the 'best'. They have the potential to become so. But they aren't at the moment. They need more quality games than the PS2 first.
The fact that people believe GC/X-Box to be better than PS2 is because of marketing, because Microsoft and Nintendo have to sell their product to get revenue and user base to turn out quality games.
Do you agree?

Wait till September for the new releases to start flooding in, don't Metroid, Resident Evil, Wrestlemania X8, Timepslitters 2, Die Hard :Vendetta etc etc intrest you at all?
So Goaty, you have completed Rogue Squadron, but with all gold medals and ace medals? If not then there is still incentive to play. How can you not become joined to the hip of monkey ball? It is so addictive.
Oh, it's a dreamcast game. heh
Never actually heard of Skies of Arcadia.
Are you on some kind of mission to see how many times you can mention how good skies of arcadia is or something Grix ?
One day I'll give it a go - one day....
