   Should I buy a Gamecube?
  I know this has been discussed before, but since the search function is disabled that doesn''t really help me.So, I''d like some opinions about the Gamecube. The reason I''m thinking about buying one right now is because of the Resident Evil games, which I love and the new ones look absolutely amazing. However, since I am a poor student, I''m afraid I can''t afford to buy a console just because of one game... I don''t want this to turn into the regular "GC''s for kids"-flame war, but I''d like to know what kind of games will be released? I don''t mind Mario and Zelda and other games like that but I do want to have a choice. Will there be many games with a bit more "adult"-theme (Now, that sounds a bit strange... ). I just remembered reading about Eternal Darkness, which seems to be pretty interesting. Anyway, what do you people have to say about it? -----------------------------Reporter: Are they slow-moving, chief?Sheriff: Yeah, they''re dead. They''re all messed up.-Night of the living dead

He owned a ps2, and basically dismissed the GC without playing any games or reading any reviews, but just by looking at the graphics. Are you that kind of gamer? Thought not.Speaking more practically, the ps2 controller sucks (it really needed a redesign) and the xbox is exqually badly designed (although i''ve heard good things from people who''ve imported the smaller jap version).Played Super Monkey Ball? If you have then you really should know by now how good the gameplay is on it and how well it uses the pad.Upcomming games.. hmm, I know theres a f-zero remake comming out on the cube (by Sega, of all people  ) PSO2 looks like being better than its DC incarnation. Lost Kingdoms i''ve got my eye on as a good stratergy blast. And Rare have a couple of games in the pipeline as well... Conflict:Desert storm could be a surprise hit as well.  ;  I would. And I might also when I get the cash, because Zelda is gonna kickass.And Nintendo has allways had great quality on their stuff./MindWipe  ;  The GC is worth it for Super Mario Sunshine alone. That Ikagura is coming out for it too (if your into shooters). Zelda and Metroid will probably be great too. And Animal Crossing helped me get my fiance back into video games . Most of the games I like come out for that system, but if you really want to know, why don''t you head for one of those sites about console games I keep hearing about (ign or gamespot or something)? You can see a list of all near-future games.    Chris Barry (crbarry at mts.net)My Personal Programming Depot;  Go for it man.  Super Mario Sunshine is tons of fun.  Oh, and Rare is being bought by Microsoft.  So the last game for GameCube from Rare will be Star Fox Adventures that comes out on the 23rd of this month.  And its gonna be one hell of a game.    ;quote:Original post by Shotokan  Oh, and Rare is being bought by Microsoft.  WHAT!?!?*cries bitter tears*    Chris Barry (crbarry at mts.net)My Personal Programming Depot;  LOL Microsoft buys everything.  ;  In the news today, in a bizarre hostile takeover, Microsoft has bought the US Department of Justice for 500,000 shares.  Department officials have no comment at this time.-=Lohrno  ;  The Rare-Microsoft thing was shot down by Nintendo as just rumors. Back on topic now, the actual GC is pretty cheap but the games are pretty expensive (£35-45 usually) but when you compare that with PS2 and X-Box game prices there isn''t much in it. So in my opinion yeah go ahead and get one.- DarkIce
