Oh, dear Lord. I completely forgot that this thread existed.
Look, X-Box fanboys, I respect that you like the X-Box and all, but, honestly. You come here and flame the GameCube with bad reasons. What's worse is that you don't even own a GC and you have the audacity to pass judgement on it. Exactly what games have you guys played on it? Someone said that the consoles have their own specific genre's that they center on. I think it was Del. He's right. Even though GC doesn't have as many violent games as X-Box and PS2, it far makes up for it by providing us with fun games. I would take Super Mario Sunshine over that stupid FPS that makes you hunt down terrorists any day.
Quit it with the graphics s. They are all equal in graphics capabilities. Shiva's Effect, you said that the X-Box has incredible graphics because of its water effects and its absolutely, unearthly, and unbelievably mind-boggling swaying grass(WOW). Metroid Prime has all of those things, as well.
Halo is an awesome multiplayer game(I know because I've played it), but the GC has its share of great multiplayer games, too. To name a few, there's Mario Kart: Double Dash with the LAN capabilities, FF: CC(Probably the best example), and Super Smash Bros. Melee. Metroid Prime 2 and Star Fox 2 are going to have multiplayer capabilities that are mind-boggling.
There's no reason to actually hate the GC, and the X-Box for that matter, except out of stupid biased reasons.
