"hi everybody - I'm new"

Hi, basically I've been a long time PS2 fan, and I've owned the console for a year and 4 months, and basically I think Gamecubes are rubbish!............................

Only kidding, I've realised that in this console war, the only way to survive is to own at least 2 of the next generation mothers, so I thought hey, the x-box just looks really tacky and has a controller that looks and plays like, well you know we can't swear here....

So I will be purchasing a lovely black gamecube; I'm sure it will sit nicely by my PS2, but anyway I think that the only 3 games I really want are,

Mario sunshine (sorry if thats not what its called but I'm sure you know what I mean)

Luigi's mansion

and the remake of Resident Evil,

Can anyone advise me on any other present and not to distant future releases that would knock the socks off any one who was hard to impress,

Just so there are know doubles I have Crazy Taxi for PS2 and Max Payne; not sure if Max Payne is out for Gamecube, but its out for x-box so I just thought it might be.

Also I know that the new Crash Bandicoot game is coming out for GC; if it isn't already,

does anyone know if it takes so really stupidly long to load as the PS2 version, basically it was the horrible loading times that discouraged me from actually purchasing this game for PS2 so thought if loading times were shorter on the ickle GC it would be a perfect oppurtunity to purchase it.

Loading times on the GC are the shortest of the 3 consoles. In fact, out of the seven games I currently own only THPS3 (which is a PS2 port) and Waverace actually have loading times. I wouldn't normally do this but I'll give a list of some of the games I'm going to be getting, hopefully there will be plenty you'll like :)

Hmm.. I'd reccomend Super Smash Bros. Melee and Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron 2. Also, StarFox Adventures is a must buy. For a full low down on the GameCube, I suggest you read through all the posts in the 'To Buy or Not To Buy' topic by da_1_n_only.

The new Crash game will be Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex and apparently it will have no loading times (just like all GameCube games) and will have new GameCube extras.
