Wish i was in a Ramen Shop Counter
Notice now you can get a 2nd hand GC for £30 in Gamestation, to me it seems quite cheap considering i paid the same for Animal Crossing today ! So what game are good on the GC ? Zelda ? Mario ? What about Final Fantasy or may be even Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
 
If you get a Cube, you simply must get Eternal Darkness, it's the best game on the console without doubt (which is quite a feat considering how amazing Resident Evil 4 is).
 
I was thinking of getting one as I sold mine ages ago, but just going ot hang out for the Wii now. Mario Kart and Zelda would be essential buys for me, together with Donkey Konga.
 
Geez man I got my cube (at luanch) for £130 excluding any games etc and it would still be a bargin at twice the price IMO best £130 I ever spent !
 
30quid? that it? jesus i might have to invest in one to cover my free time whilst job searching. my job for tomorrow to go find one for that cheap and a copy of res 4 :D

Eternal darkness bored me personally, it was very repetitive. Solve a few puzzles... aim for the head..... nowhere near as good as RE4 or RE:make I think.

Each to their own :)
Meh I was expecting an arguement followed by a debate then!

I have to admit, it is very impressively cinematic. I never really dealt with the sanity meter, I was too good at keeping it high. Once I let it run low just to see what happened and the game froze. I was like 'what the hell?' and after hearing 'No! This is NOT HAPPENING' the screen flashed and I reappeared at the start of the room :eek:

I've even heard people say a TV volume meter has appeared! Credit where credit is due :)
 
The best "sanity meter" one I had was when it told me the controller had unplugged and I needed to put it back in, when I was in room full of enemies all closing in on me. I was very relived when it turned out to be another trick.
 
£30? :eek: They're cheap now.
Ah crap i'm going to end up with one again, that'll be my third Gamecube if so :o
 
it is worth it, but then again i just traded mine in for a 360.
i bought mine for £80 inc. 2 pads, 2 mem cards, n 4 games. but if you really want one, get paper mario 2, res evil, res evil 4 and metriod prime (the latest one) :)
 
fantastic console i got mine at launch aswell

now got it and just under 30 games, all of which im happy with.

for me the best games are the tony hawks (im a big fan), super monkey ball 1 + 2, zelda, double dash and mario sunshine.

oh and the pikmins are damn good too :)

i wont be getting rid of mine, as i still spend a fair bit of time on it and its too good to get rid of.

if you want fun playable games then the GC is the mac Daddy :)

I got metroid prime 2 'echos' for £4.99 in HMV yesterday... didn't want to start a new thread, but this seemed like a bargain.

Just a heads up for those who are interested :)
