You know why Nintendo has most of it's games rated E for Everyone? Simple. It want's everyone to have fun! You don't need violence and gore and hookers to have fun, Nintendo proves it. The majority of the games released for 'Nintendo Only' are quality products, I wish I could say that for the other systems...

Nintendo Gamecube isn't a system for kids, it's a system for everyone.

Vote Gamecube '05

SAJN Master: Your statistics are almost useless until you post the stats for XBox and PS2. :p (Because I want to see how they stack up.)

But yeah, Nintendo does try to keep it's games down in E and T, which isn't a bad thing as I see it.

Lee said he wasn't a huge gamer anymore. In his case, those statistics for all three systems shouldn't really be looked at.

Quality > Quantity.

Just because PS2 has the most games does not mean it has the best.

More games = better chance to have good quality games

You miss the point. My point is PS2's wide range of games does not make it the best console for a particular gamer.

Lee should do some research to find out which console has his style of games and which ones are the best. Personally, I would NOT buy a console simply because of one game.

He said the gamecube was for the kids because they like the gamecube. Not that it is made for kids.

Way to misconstrue the situation.

And IRG--why don't you post something of substance instead of constantly harrassing other people? So far, I've seen you post NOTHING on these boards that was actually...well...productive. Just harrying other people's posts.

That was his implied conclusion.



You worry about your posts and I'll worry about mine.

So you're putting words in his mouth now.

Whatever man, if you continue like this, I won't have to worry about you much longer anyways. You aparrently missed the phase where people would get banned for less than the bull**** you're pulling here.

I can't wait to see you gone when it comes back.

Actually, I was here. I don't believe I'm acting any differently now than I was then. If you have a problem with the way I post then talk to an admin. and if the admin. agrees, tell the admin. to talk to me. I will gladly change as necessary.

Yeah i just picked up XIII for $7.50 (xbox). I especially like the comic book style and music of the game.

I have all 3 but I would go with xbox if your friends have it. System link Halo 2 is freaking awesome. The recharging shield system in that game really adds alot of depth because it forces you to use the environment for cover.

If you get a PS2 definately pick up Katamari Damacy. Resident Evil 4 for GC is amazing also.

PS2. <------ My 2 cents.

PS2s have, like they already said, a massive library, it's geared towards a more mature audience than GC, and buying it isn't based on the exclusiveness of one game. Plus, if you get one now you get the sweet slim version. I like XBoxes, they're an equal consol to the PS2, but sadly Microsoft and Xbox owners count way too much on the quote/unqoute "greatness" of Halo and Halo 2. They are average FPS games with nice controls. Nothing more. Microsoft needs to move on and create more games for a capable console. If you buy a consol based on one game, be it PS2 Xbox or GC you will regret it. Also with proper equipment you can link up PS2s with LANs just like Xboxes.

Three Games to get for PS2:

Mercenaries.

It's build on the GTA engine, allowing you to take any vehicle or weapon you see. It has a lot of gameplay. (there's 52 bounties to catch and a contract mission for each one to get info on the location of that bounty.) It has the replay value of GTA, and I just love working for the russian mafia.

Ico

It's been out for a while so you can buy it cheap and you will most likely only find it used, but I advise buying it cheap and used. It is a quiet puzzle solving game, but it is VERY absorbing. It has a good storyline and has more emotion and feeling than any game I've played. There are very beautiful eye candy environments. It has no multiplayer mode, and you're not likely to replay it a whole lot, but the storyline will probably keep you coming back every now and then. definitely woth the 10-15ish bucks it sells for.

Timesplitters 2

This game is flat out awesome. It is a blast to play with friends, you can costumize your gameplay, bot set, weapon set, you can make your own maps and you can play with up to 16 people via LAN connection, I believe. It has like ten different unlockable playing modes like capture the bag, vampire, deathmatch (of course), team deathmatch, gladiator, flamethrower tag, virus, bounty hunter, and others. a large variety of weapons (from crossbows to miniguns to plasma rifles) spanning past present and future weaponry. It has MP co-op, and it has alot of replay value. An awesome party game. In my humble opinion this game is as good as or better than Halo and Halo 2. Did I say that out loud? *ducks*

oh yeah, and they're coming out with a TS3. I watch for it with interest.

3 Games not to get:

Starwars: Bounty Hunter

Of all the crap LucasArts shoots out, this is the worst.
-Controls and camera are pianfully horrible.
-Storyline is Painfully lame and horrible.
-Extras suck soooo bad I almost cried. They included a comic book (lame) pictures of starwars trading cards(lame) concept art(lame)and the stupidest deleted scenes that are so bland lame and unfunny I literally cringed rather than laughed at them.
-Cheats unlock levels and extras. no special skins, guns, in game features. Nothing. friggin' nothing.
-dry, lame levels and enemies.
-weapons aside from the little pistols you get are few and far between and have little ammo. I probably picked up 5-10 guns throughout the whole stupid game.
-you don't get to keep any weapons you find after you finish the level.
-The end boss is so easy to kill that when you figure her simple 2 step pattern it only takes a little patience to kill her, no skill is required. I killed her in 5 minutes from when I first encountered her and it took me 2 tries. I expected more from a double saber weilding sith lord.
-The only mode is single player, and it has no replay value. I tried to play it a second time but got so nausiated after like 5 minutes that I just turned the thing off and traded the game in for like 8 bucks.

I-ninja

Kind of repetetive, and boring. just not really that cool to me. It has no real storyline and you're just dropped into it like you're supposed to know everything already. I traded it in with bounty hunter.

Ghost recon: Jungle Storm and Ghost Recon 2

This game is horrible. the AI partners are so stupid they've walk right in front of me while I was sniping and got shot in the head. They'll be getting blown away by enemies and not fire a single shot. They get lost easy, give away your position by shooting when you don't want them to and wind up getting you killed by not shooting when your supposed to. It feels more like your a babysitter than a commander of the most lethal squad on earth. The textures and environment are gitchy and horrendously ugly. To play mp co-op you have to play through in single player first, which is just stupid. It is painful for me to play, and GR2 is even worse than jungle storm. If you want to play a good Ghost Recon, get the first and none of the others.

Honestly, you're going to be more than happy with either the ps2 or GC. But if you're thinking about the kids, definetly avoid the x-box simply because there aren't as many kid titles. Yeah, there are some, but not nearly as many as on GC or ps2.

I love the x-box, don't get me wrong, but if I was getting a system for me and some wee ones I wouldn't think twice about turning it down.

I'm gonna be getting a ps2 soon simply because of GT4. A GC will follow soon after because there's so many games I want for it and it's super cheap.

I had no implied conclusion. The kids like GC games, so they'll get a GC.

Don't bother trying to put words in my mouth - you're not very good at it.

Yoshi: *thumbsup*

Gamecube rules because you can easily pick it up and bash someone in the head.

You act as if money somehow...matters. I'm offended.

I love both my xbox and ps2. I bought them both on a whim (xbox to take to my friend's house to system link for halo, and the ps2 when i saw GT3). Whims are fun.

Yeah well the xbox can deflect bullets.

But the GC is not just for kids.



Seeing how I have not even tried to, don't worry.

He didn't say it was.

You've earned fanboy status. Go to the corner and think about what you've done.

He did.

Fanboy status? Of nintendo? If I was a nintendo fanboy I'd be trying to convince him to buy one.

FYI, I'm a PC fanboy.

He didn't. And you certainly seem to be trying to get him to buy one. Even if you're not a fanboy, stand in the corner anyway. I'm tired of being the only one here.

For the last FREAKIN' TIME: I did not say that Gamecubes are just for kids. I said that THE GC is for the kids. That means the GC we would buy would be for the kids in our family.

Do you need me to tell it to your face or something? Go find something useful to do..kthxbye.

If you're ever in the chat, your nick must have 'fanboy' on the end.

<3

Yay! <3 XIII

Also, I've been thinking about katamari damacy. But er.. I'm kind of embarassed what my parents would think -_-;

I posted this yesterday, f00b. :p

Whoops.

lolls, gothicx got f00bed.

I didn't even know someone could get f00bed.

I'd normally recommend the Cube, but after seeing the new PS2's up close...Damn are those things tiny! I could practically fit one in my pocket! Anyway, whatever console you get, make sure you pick up NHL Hitz 2002. Then find some friends, create a custom team, and kick the crap out of those "real" hockey teams.
