I've had 180 quid yesterday and was thinking of using it on getting a gamecube+game+mem card...but then my eyes fell upon a Creative Labs 3D Geforce 4200 (basically the lower range of the Geforce 4)
and bought that instead...
my home computer is really phat... p4 2ghz, 512mb ddr ram etc...and my old card was a Geforce 2 MX (which is the lower range of the Geforce 2 cards)
now my pc games such as Neverwinter Nights, Warcraft 3, Soldier of Fortune 2 look brill! the geforce 2 MX does get the job done (just) though
now do you think i should take my new graphics card back and get the gamecube instead...
if i do i need to do it sometime soon!

your computer is so phat.
Depends on what games you are intrested in.
I'd personally stick with the sexy geforce 4.
Sure the Geforce 2 may give out the power for the games you have at the moment, but soon enough games will be demanding more power.

You should get the Gamecube and Smash Bros Melee, it'll last you for ages. If you don't like Smash Bros then i'd go for something like Star Wars or Tony Hawks 3, all these games have got a hell of a lot of longetivity in Single Player.
The Gamecubes worth getting just so you can get Mario Sunshine when it comes out, this game is gonna be amazing.

The two games I've enjoyed playing the most on (Edgy's) Gamecube are unquestionabababably...
- Super Smash Bros Melee -
Truly marvellous multiplayer - the more people playing, the better. I've found that the one player mode is kinda tiresome... but the urge to unlock the multitude of extra characters and levels will insure that it lasts a damn long time.
-Spider-Man: The Movie -
Heh heh. I'm taking this Spider-Man fan thing too far now (squeezing Spidey into any post I can), but this really is a fantastic game. It's got corny Spidey one-liners, plus there's nothing that matches the feeling you experience while swinging around the city, battling supervillians like the Vulture and the Green Goblin. This really is a must-buy, especially if you're only starting off with one controller.

Well, if you do get a Gamecube, which you should undoubtedly do, then to suggest a game would be rather difficult, because there are quite a few games that are great and worth buying.
Rogue Leader - Great for one player. Lasts ages.
Super Monkey Ball - Great multiplayer, good one player, very difficult.
Super Smash Brothers Melee. - Unbeatbale multiplayer, good one player.
Wave Race: Blue Storm - Naff.
Luigi's Mansion - Too short. Good while it lasts.
Pikmin - Not as short, but excellent while it lasts.

If you get a GC get either Super Monkey Ball or Pikmin.
