Some things just bring a smile to my face, like seeing this:

Aww bless, Tiltawhirl likes Star Fox, and likes Rare games. But then I read:

Hohohoho.

Mayhap we can live without the Rare influence?

A) Metroid is way better than Halo ever was/will be. Actualy, thats not hard to beat a really rather dull, limited, (albeit large) average looking shooter like Halo really, is it? Heheheheh! I expcet retribution for that, but still......

B) PCs do not suck! Well, the games don't anyway............

Yes, and I don't appreciate you coming in here and ranting off a console war on something that has nothing to do with this topic anyway.

Wasn't it a PS2 reviewer who was giving it the highest praise?

"Worth buying a gamecube for" I believe was the quote.

Make no mistake, Metroid is turning heads, and will sell many gamecubes.

Starfox had very mixed reviews, two good reviews, the rest were average or poor.

Metroid Prime has recieved top scores across the board, everyone is saying it's perfection. Of course, I wouldn't expect someone like you to ever admit it's even slightly good. Esspecially considering that all the multi-format sites have rated Metroid above Halo.

Rare's finest hour came with Goldeneye - the best film tie-in game EVER. Even "The Dark" (as I fondly refer to it) wasn't good enough even with all the extra weapons and challenges. It suffered from major slowdown when playing with a few droids...

Nowadays, do we really need Rare? With Rare accounting for only 1.5% on Nintendo's sales I think that GC owners shouldn't feel too aggrieved that Rare has gone over to Microsoft. The GC has good an excellent selection of 3rd party games and combined with Nintendo's GC only games, you can't go wrong. Plus, the collaboration with Sega over Nintendo exclusive titles will more than make up for the lack of Rare. Will I miss Rare? Sure I will, but not as much as I first thought. With Timesplitters 2 being a worthy update of Goldeneye/Perfect Dark, I think that we can rest assured the the future is looking good for the GC. With Zelda, Metroid and a whole host of exclusive games including the much discussed successor to F-Zero being released soon I'm happier than a pig in swill with my GC!!

Well don't you all have high opinions of Metroid's brilliance despite the fact it's not even released over here yet...and before someone shouts the 9.8 EGM score, they rated Starfox pretty high as well.

When it turns up in the UK, even if it does exceed Halo - doubtful - then the Xbox exclusive Halo 2, with online play, will be a mere 7 months away.

7 Months is a long time isn't it ? Well most of you don't see the harm in waiting 6 months for PAL versions of US games do you :P

Made by two completely different companies and are different games altogether bar the obvious fact that's it's the same characters blah blah blah. Anyone thought you could appriciate opinion.
