I recently brought a Gamecube and while I am perfectly happy with the console and Rogue Squadron has some amazing graphics. But since buying it a couple of months ago there is not one game I would currently buy for it the choice is quite appalling and where are these 50 games by the summer and more worryingly where are exclusives.

Something I agree on! HMV do some alright deals (two for £30) but unfortunatly this is never the newer titles that I want!

I prefer multiplayer games anyways because I live with 4 other blokes, and its more fun playing against someone!!

I have 2 GC games, and a whopping 30 PS2 games since the console was launched. I find that with the PS2 you get cheaper game deals like buy 2 get 1 free or buy 1 and get 2nd half price.

Social life: Socialising with other human beings. Not personified by playing quake online.....



My doctor has prescribed some of this 'social life', by cutting the power to my home for three hours a day. However I have got around this by using my GBA during the 'fast'

The only reason I don't have 10 GC games is because I wouldn't get time to play them all!

I'm still spending plenty of hours with the 6 games I already have, and want to use up some of their lastability before I move on to get more.

How many PS2 owners had 6 games a few months after the consoles launch?
How many XBOX owners have 6 games even now?

The GC is alive and well, and concentrating on the software to sell it, not the reputation of previous consoles or the sheer size of the company.

VIVA LA GC!!
