Well, today, I decided to take a trip down the road to CA Games (yes, that games shop that NGC hyped up so much for no apparent reason), just to see how it was getting on, and to possibly pick up a copy of Turok Evolution or Resident Evil.
The last time I visited CA Games, I wasn't too impressed - hardly any GC games, hardly any Nintendo shelves at all, to be precise, and filled up with PS2 and X-Box games. This was rather surprising, seeing as the owner of the shop works for Nintendo. Anyway, I was happy to see that all has changed since then.
There are 2 demo-playing consoles for GC, XBox and PS2, and the demo-player is allowed to select their own demo to play, ranging from games such as Starfox, to Beach Spikers, to Mario Sunshine, which I think is a really good feature. I played on Starfox Adventures, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Monkey Ball 2, Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil, Doshin The Giant and Beach Spikers. I enjoyed all of them, lots.
Starfox and Mario Sunshine stand out from the rest - they're both brilliant! Excellent stuff! The rest are fairly good as well, with the exception of Eternal Darkness and Beach Spikers. Eternal Darkness is just a bit too dark and dull, and not much is going on half the time. Beach Spikers, although looking pretty darn good, isn't actually that good to play at all. The rest of the games were fairly good though, and I was happy with that.
So, CA Games, yet again, rules. I went out to buy either Turok Evolution or Resident Evil, but didn't actually get either (:-(), and spent about an hour immersing myself in some of the best games I've ever played. Only on GC, naturally.
Meh! This is a bit longer than expected. :-D

Ok, I'll probably go for the Action Replay cartridge then.

Plus the Action Replay comes with the Freeloader...:)
Isn't the equaliser just another cheat cartridge? If it is, then there's no point as the Action Replay is supposed to be the best.

Ah yes, the Action Replay. I'll be getting one of those too. I may get an Equaliser as well, but would there be any point really?

Nope, but I'll be giving serious thought to the Action Replay.

Have you got an imported GC?

Ah well. I don't mind, I'll continue to buy from SR then. However, if I ever need an import game, I might stick my head in.
There aren't many others I don't think that the ones suggested.
There is a PAL section on the CA Games website as well, I'm sure. You just click on the GC, PS2 or X-Box links near the top and I think there are prices for PAL games, which are all very reasonable.
Not as good as SR, I must admit, but very reasonable indeed.

Thanks. Know any others?
