Unamazed

Well I just got a gc a while ago and i'm really depresed. When I got it, I got it for the games, turns out they prety much all suck. After you get about 5 games you start drifting away and getting boerd with a machiene that's entire purpose is to keep you unboerd. I just have to say, wow nentendo, you really screwed up this one.

A GOOD system

I love the Gamecube! If it weren't for my mom messing up, i never ever would have nintendo, I would have playstation. Good thing she messed up! Anyway, the Gamecube has just as good graphics and games as Xbox and PS2, but, it has a way cheaper price. so which one would you buy? Gamecube started out more for kids, but now it still has a lot of kid games, it now has plenty of teen. A fare ammount of mature games, cause you don't want to many. The last thing about is the games are small, so they are harded to wreck, good for the younger kids. I'll say it again, I love the Gamecube!

Sony Fanboy sullies the good name of Nintendo, wrath insues!

Ok, so if you want to talk about the pure hardware aspect between the PS2 and the Gamecube, that is a LOST battle. Ever person I have ever MET with a PS2 (dozens, you people are like the plague...) have had to get it repaired or replaced. You wonder why PS2's still sell? Everyone's replacing their year old PS2's because they BROKE! As far as which console is more powerful, even the PS2 fanboys relent and admit the Gamecube is more powerful. The specs of the two systems speak the truth, in case you heard otherwise.

Don't get me even started with the graphics, Resident Evil 4, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles and Metroid Prime (1 or 2) are obvious examples of jaw-dropping graphics. "But Final Fantasy (insert #) had awesomes graphics!" you holler. Did I forget to mention all the afore mentioned Gamecube games pulled off graphics almost as good looking with the IN GAME ENGINE? For those of you who don't know, remember those commercials that show an awesome cut-scene where the graphics look incredible, but the graphics after that sucked in-game? Yeah, well there's none of that with those Gamecube games I mentioned, there is no load-time between those scenes, no drop in graphcis quality. Anything you see in a commerical for those games, you actually get to play the game with the whole way through. Show me a PS2 game that can do that, without load times every 10 minutes! That's right, YOU CAN'T!

"But wait, we have SOOOOO many more games than the Gamecube, so you suxz0rz t3h b0xzOrz!!11!1" you retort. Sure, any rental store will make it obvious that there are many MANY more games for the PS2 than the Gamecube, usually 2 or 3:1. The actual ratio of all the games is higher, I think, but that's not the point. The point is, is more games BETTER or WORSE? Both, actually. While you logically have more choice, and a greater chance of getting a decent game by odds alone, anyone can tell you that almost EVERY game for the Gamecube is a worthy rental, let alone purchase. Aside from the games made for junior kindergarten intellects, there's a huge variety of games to choose from. I find that most my friends who have a PS2 usually rent a number of decent games, but almost as many crappy games. This makes it very hard to find worthy rentals for the PS2, even the reviews online are misleading as big-name sites have their conciensce in the back pocket of most of these game publishers. Another problem is because of the constant supply of new games, the really good games my friends rented and enjoyed are never rented again, its always another new game that has a 50/50 chance of sucking (odds are worse nowadays, since the PS2 lifespan is winding down and remakes/sequels are the biggest sellers). I have had constant entertainment from the supply of Gamecube games out there, and have finished almost all the big name titles with time to spare to play copious amounts of multi-player. While Gamecube players may be missing out on some great titles, at least we can say we aren't missing out on ANY of the titles we get!

With a holiday line-up of some of the best looking games ever, the Gamecube is poised to do very well this Christmas. As for the big name PS2 and Xbox games coming, I shrug and point towards my up-and-coming Athlon 64 FX-53 comp coming, and the impending GTA4 and Halo2 PC releases. Hell, I have enough unfortunate sucker friends that bought one of those consoles to supply me with time to play those games should the itch arise to do so.

me: +69 pWn points
PS2 fanboy: loss of self-respect and dignity (well, Sony did that to you already, so I guess I dug the hole a little deaper for you. Enjoy ^_^ .,|,.)

11. Medal of Honor games (great war games! I recomend Frontline!)
12. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (I LOVE THIS GAME!! THE MUSIC ROCKS AND SONIC IS THE BEST GAME SERIES!!!)
13. Sonic adventure DX: directors cut (Very good game! Music is good, too!)
