Also, the GameCube has amazing loading speed. Either that or it doesn't have loading times at all. Take Metroid Prime for example, an amazing game. It NEVER has to take time to load. It's as if you're playing a cartridge based game. Plus it has cool stuff like Gameboy Advance connectivity.

I LOVE it!
All life begins with a Nu and ends with a Nu.
First of all, I'm going to take the time to say that none of the systems suck.
I'm a proud owner of all three systems. I like them all, but I have to say that I'm not as impressed with the gamecube as I am with the other two systems.
My favorite game on the Gamecube is Super Smash Brothers: Melee. I also like Viewtiful Joe, Eternal Darkness and Super Mario Sunshine. Games I dislike however, are Metroid Prime, Resident Evil and Windwaker.
Metroid Prime is easily my least favorite Metroid game ever made. I absolutely hated the controls. The control scheme was my major problem with this game. The game itself also just wasn't fun. I wasn't having fun when I was playing it. I don't know what the game was missing. I basically forced myself to finish this game. I will admit though that the final battle was fun though.
Windwaker was a disappointing game to me. One of the many things I disliked about Ocarina of Time was Hyrule Field. Windwaker managed to take that, and multiply it tenfold. While earlier games in the series such as Link's Awakening and A Link to the Past had dungeons that were fun, the Windwaker dungeons were just annoying. Specifically, the undead dungeon with the bird girl. Windwaker is by no means a bad game, but it isn't good either. I suspect that if this game starred any other character besides Link and wasn't called "The Legend of Zelda" it would have been a flop.
Resident Evil I dislike, but it has nothing to do with the game itself. I flat out dislike the entire Resident Evil series. I hate the controls, I hate the annoying enemies, I hate the puzzles, and I hate the storyline. I'm just not a fan of Resident Evil and can't see why it is so popular.
Smash Brothers on the other hand, is incredible. I've logged in hundreds of hours with that game and it never gets old. I love the way the moves are the same. It encourages you to use different characters. You can also take a month long break or so and get right back to where you were without forgetting any moves.
To hell with Battletoads and Double Dragon.
THIS is the ultimate team.
I hate some systems because they steal games from other systems by saying "only on gamecube" or "only on x-box" wtf you greedy arse-holes you never hear "Only on ps2" do ya!?
Well, Nintendo is also a developer. They don't develop games for other systems.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
Systems don't "steal games from other systems." Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft pay developers money to make console exclusive games (or in some cases, games that can't be ported to another system until a set date). Gaming is a business and some companies will do anything to make sure they get money.
And besides, 95% of console RPGs appear on the PS1/PS2 so you can consider those "Only on ps2 games."
"Game over? Damn right I'm over!"
good point
I think Tastey's point was that Sony don't advertise their games as being PS2 exclusive. However, that's probably because very few of them are worth buying.

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
cept FF of course
One word.....Pikmin. Yes, there are many other good games for the GC, but I love Pikmin. It's so cute. I've beat it at least 20 times and I still love it and am not tired of it.
There is quite a plethora of games to choose from on the GC. Not so much in the RPG department, but still some. Super Smash Bros. Melee is so fun. I have played it for a total of like seventy hours now, and I'm not even close to being finished with it. I like the Wind Waker, and I'm currently still cleaning the drool from the E3 Zelda preview. The Resident Evils look gorgeous, the controls are a little annoying, but I still like the games overall. The GameCube is a good system, Nintendo just took a while before making a game that I would buy the console for.
Shiva's Effect, seeing as how you don't have a GC, you shouldn't even be passing judgement on it. As far as graphics are concerned, Metroid Prime's graphics far surpass Halo's and KotOR's. Same goes for RE remake and RE 0. Yeah, X-Box has Halo and KotOR. But GC has Metroid Prime, which sold God knows how much the week it came out. It has Viewtiful Joe, which is a brilliant game. It has Wind Waker(same comment as MP and VJ). FF: CC did well. Square-Enix is planning on making another FF for the GC. Don't forget about the new Zelda that's throwing out cell-shading. Words can't and will never express how incredibly that game will sell. For every 3 good X-Box games, there are 5 more great GC games.
:monster2: One, AH! AH! Two, AH AH! Three, AH AH!
quick question, did Metroid win Game of the year? NO, it didn't. Besides, I play enough GC to know, and HALO is far better then Metroid. Bsides, HALO has probably sold more then Metroid. And BFS to ur last statement
EDIT-- Oh, and why are the GC games great, when box's are good? Should b the other way around

Terrific, KotOR got the game of the year title. Too bad all that means is that it's been recognized. Yeah, I'll admit that I want KotOR, but a system is not worth only 2 games. So far, you've only named 2 good games for the X-Box. The only thing you've backed up your OMFG ECKS-BOCKS R TEH ROX statement is that the X-Box has great graphics, which are paralleled by the GC's graphics, mind you. With your lack of reasons for the X-Box's superiority, you're making it sound inferior, instead of superior.
:monster2: One, AH! AH! Two, AH AH! Three, AH AH!
Fable, Halo2, Kotor2, Splinter Cell, Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow, MechAssautl, NFSU, NFSU2, DOA3, DOA Extreme Beach Vollyball. Pick one. Oh, and did you know someone is making Halo Armor? Do you see anyone making Metroid Armor? Nope, atleast, not that anyone knows about.

Yeah, making video-game armor sure does show how great a game is. Hey, why don't I make a cardboard-box truck with a character from Big Motha Trucka's? That'll show those jerkface haters how great of a game it is!
Sorry to tell you this, but DOA Xtreme Beach Volleyball wasn't much of a game, but rather a softcore hentai-ish dating sim. I also meant X-Box exclusive games. NFSU is for both the PS2 and GC. Halo 2 is also going to be the PC. Most gamers agree that FPS's are much better on computers than consoles. Same goes for the KotOR games. Good job on naming the other games, though. You still have failed to say why the X-Box and its video-games are great.
