I am not laughing at Rare, Rare were my third favourite company and my first favourite company kicked 'em out to you guys. Oh no I'm laughing at the fact that Microsoft expect Rare to release 5 games in 2 years....
Trust me it won't happen.

Well for a start I don't think Nintendo can afford to pump $2billion into an online service.
Microsoft have worked very hard in creating X-Box Live and with all the features it has and the games supporting it, I really can't see Nintendo doing things better.
Plus the GC has no hard drive and to save downloads for games, your really looking at having access to more than a memory card to save some of the larger possibilities.

Don't be so sure. The fact that Nintendo are keeping tight lipped about the whole things brings up many questions. Then there's this big announcement Nintendo are making at Christmas.
Nintendo have conquered all other aspects of gaming, why not online? Don't judge until you see, I say.

Wishfull thinking.
The Gamecube online plans will be more than good enough to satisfy any Gamecube owner around, but seeing as I'm planning on getting an Xbox, I'll probably get Xbox live instead.
Depending on what Nintendo's online package is like, I might even get both...

Online challenges, competitions, leagues.... all sounds a cool idea and very promising.
The SD memory card can hold more memory than the Gamecube itself... it'll take a while to upload but you could fit a N64 game on them. The idea is to inflitrate games with uploaded home movies, pictures and transfer large ammount of data. The GBA link up is doing relativly well The final fantasy game is treating it very seriously although Nintendo do seem to insist on it being an extra e.g. Animal Crossing and The Legend of Zelda. Roll a Rama might change that. The arcade link up is beign developed with Namco and SEGA and may use the SD cards BUT! lets face it it wont come out over here.
Nintendo are apparently developing communication game Animal Crossing online, Mario Kart online, Pokemon online and a fourth which i cant quite remember. Nintendo will push its online campaign at next years E3 with some MASSIVE announcements, which considering they're remanining quiet at the moment on their current projects seems certain. The x-box is the online console of the decade but lets face it this can potentially ruin the X-box especially in Europe... then again it could make it bigger than Sony. Nintendo are cautious yes and they will be the last to enter the online campaign but their games such as Zelda, Pokemon and their multiplayer games such as smash brothers have the potential to make Nintendos online campaign as good as anyones.

In some ways...
While Halo does add a few neat touches to the genre, it doesn't touch what Goldeneye did to it.
Headshots, Sniping, Stealth, proper AI and guard animations, 4 player splitscreen, an FPS working on a console... it all started on the N64.
Halo's great, but hasn't revolutionised the genre like Goldeneye did.
Probably because there's not much left to revolutionise...

how hasn't Halo done a "GoldenEye" ? Halo's a classic as GoldenEye is
Well it did...
That shield idea is pretty neat, as is the control system (once you get used to it). Also, it'll work a treat online.
It's not exactly done a "Goldeneye", but I think it's on par with Perfect Dark for bringing the genre forward.

It took every good idea used in all FPSers of the past year and executed them almost flawlessly in a very fresh manor. My favourite FPSer ever.
What ? How did I 'lose' exactly ? I'm enjoying my X-Box console, I have no regrets offloading the GC I bought and I have no desire to buy another one.
I fail to see how I've 'lost'.
