ok so the subject line was just a catchy title.

but really these nintys are having a laugh, there's like a handful of games that are good on the GC and a shed load (a big shed to) on the x box. and the PS2? well the games companys can't be bothered with it anymore so why should i LOL.
well i might get stuntman and tekken 4 but still.

anyway what i hate about these nintys are the games they say are so good really aint. ok so it's a matter of taste and if i was 5 1/2 i'd love a GC but i'm 20 and i want blood and gore.

most GC owners must be about 10 as they argue like kids and get all up tight if you slate mario and everyone knows sonic is better.

if i had my way sega would still have a console and it would be ninty the game developer and i'd have me sega machine next to an x box and live happlying ever after knowing all the nintys would be crying as they haven't got the guts to buy a non nintendo machine muahahahahhahahahaha


ok so this post will probably encourage them but why can't we all be happy gamers?

oh well naff all i can do except laugh at there little faces and there silly little cube, sav had a GC for about a week and he found a use for the handle LOL

Ok,I have intentions in buying either the Xbox or Gamecube, its one out of them two. Why would I say that Metroid Plane would make Halo look stupid, Why would I come out with a comment like that when I aint even played either Halo or the new Metroid game. I was watching Game Network yesterday and I heard what the man had said. He thought this game would make Halo look stupid.

>you wouldn't be laughing at what one idiot from Game Network said,

Well it wasn't a person from Game Network, it was an actual gamer who had ago at the Metroid game at E3.

hehehe fanboy make me snigger me a fan boy.

anywayz this post is getting as popular as the name shaneo and am i ashamed i wrote it well no. look through it and look at all the + and - points made.

look at how we bonded (well you guys not me LOL)

once again i make a post and cause an outrage. and if it wasn't for your ninty fan boyz posting cack in here in the first place then i probably wouldn't of said anything.

and when i said i think it's ironic a ninty comes in here i ment i think it's funny that ninty fan boyz post in here not your good old multi format games like myself (yup i am) i just don't like the GC and what it has to offer that's all i was saying whilst annoy some nintys in the process.

i shall now go down with the topic like a captain and his ship

i'm unsure about metroid prime...might suffer the repetitive textures syndrome of halo and also i think the auto lock on might cause the game to be too easy.

It would be difficult to play Red Alert 2 on a console, obviously due to the controls ect.

I'd like to see star wars galactic battlegrounds come to the xbox, but controls would let it down slightly.

Some-one said something about Pikmin having an easy control system, thats because the game was designed for the Gamecube in mind, not for the PC.

I hope that the GameCube does come down to under £100 as rumours have stated, that way when I get a job this October I will be able to get one for a reasonable price. To say it only plays games I don't think that it is too much to ask for especially with the PS2 and Xbox reducing their prices in time for christmas, Nintendo have surely got reduce something to compete in the chistmas market. As I have said before though, I will buy a GameCube and give it away to my mom until my GCSE's have finished, the last thing I want is another distraction, keeping away from the Xbox release list is hard enough withut having to stay away from Resident Evil!

Not necessarily a fanboy just a fool who doesn't know much about gaming and will come out with any old gob sh!te if it means it gets him on the telly.
