[QUOTE="GMAN32X"]Considering Zelda: TP for the Cube, but I did not play through Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask or Wind Waker. Think I would still enjoy it regardless? Thanks in advance for your input.MAILER_DAEMON
Most likely, but as the game takes place between Majora's Mask and Wind Waker, you may do well to check out Ocarina at least. There are GC versions available at used games stores, but bear in mind that it's a port of an N64 game from 1998, so gameplay may seem a slight dated.

Just wanted to ask if the Gc version of the Ocarina is the Collector's Edition or if there were already ports for N64 games before - I have heard rumors or quotes of games like Paper Mario and others but have been unable ot ifnd them on Gamespot......what kind of N64 games can I find for the Gamecube??

Justgot my gamecube... bought Zelda (wind Waker), Metroid Prime, Batman Vengeance, and am currently seeking otu both SM sunshine and Eternal Darkness (which everyone says is the best). Viewtiful Joe has caught my eye, although I don't know if it will keep it. I have just enough money this coming new month to pick up a new game; and just recently found that Mayamoto had a lot to do with this game...so;

1) This is rare's game and I heard that the graphics were just spectacular, but I have also seen some shots were they looked slightly plain.

2) I have heard that while there is a similar control style to Zelda that the puzzles were 1/2 and 1/2 - some easy and some quite challenging.

3) at $7.99 at your local gamestop do you guys think that the game is worth it????????

I wil try to keep this short

Jak and Daxter, Jak 2 & 3, Prince of Persia (series), Tomb Raider (Legend and Remake), Resident Evil 4, Metal Gear solid 2 and 3 (although 2's story is disappointing ), and like just about everything else - Wipeout fusion is an old but excellent game - I would pass on the Thing as Resident Evil 4 is comparable. Socom series is interesting; Splinter Cell compares to Metal Geaar Solid, and is challenging. GTA I didn't care for too much; better things to do then that game...

If you really like 1st person shooters then get a PC...

Jak and Daxter - while the first game is different and all around a little shorter than the others, I still prefer even that one compared to R&C. Jak 2 is one of my favorite games on the Playstation 2 comparing with Prince of Persia and others. R&C - what can I say - the first game was good and I am glad that the game had both high production values and that the agmeplay became more challenging with the second half; the seuqel however was much more of a wasted game, and although I made through to the very end, I still haven't found time to beat it. Ratchet Deadlocked intrigued me as it sounds like just the right mix for the series...

I think the only reason that X-box has the better game library is because it has been out since 2005 and PS3 has only been out since last November - not even a year yet. X-box saying it has th ebiggest library is like saying that Russia is the biggest country. really Sony has only been out for awhile now and will be gearing up for more and more dynamite games in about another year - then things should really heat up (the one thing I really enjoy about competition in the gaming world is that each side is always trying to make the best game ever, which only means a lot of great games - how many really great games came out for the Atari systems????)

By the way the Wii is supposed to have 80 games out for the 4th quarter of this year, which I don't reaslly see - and frankly I have to question that statement myself - if I hadn't heard that from this site then I don't know what I would do.

Over and all, if I had to choose right now between a 360 and a PS3, I would go with PS3 - Sony will only get better and is probably over and all again the better system (I mean games system, cd player, DVD movie player, blu ray capabilties), plus things like it's Greatest Hits lineup, backward compatibility, and first party support. Although, Sony could do a lot more for itself by producing a gaming-only system for the blue collar worker family's more than the everything-in-one box.

And just what exactly are the "got to have the system cause I've got to get the game" games of rthe 360's - all I really know Microsoft for is Age of Empires and Half Life (which was fair but...mostly a little old by the time I played it - I liked Doom 3 a lot more). I heard Bungie was leaving, and Halo (and Forza, I guess) had to be the number one reasons to own the machine a while ago. All I can remember from X-box advertising is Halo and a bunch of FPS (which PS3 is also loaded with - COD4, Haze, RSVegas, Resident Evil 5, Resistance, and maybe Metal Gear Solid 4 (though that is 3rd person and mostly a better game than some of the others - if 2 and 3 are any indication ...personal opinion) and EA games (which are even distributed on Mars and Jupiter - check out the background of the subway scenes in Total Recall - you'll see what i mean - gotta look fast though)

Rainbow Six Vega, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, and maybe a good EA sports game.

Looking forward to Uncharted; Metal Gear solid 4; Call of Duty 4; numerous others (can anyone else say Tekken 6)-- looks really like Sony is going to be just fine come the new year - if only they could release a game only system (no blu ray or DVD player, pleasee) for those who just want to get into the interactiveness of the next gen entertainment systems - I think Sony could very easily get a system out that would be lower than X-Box atleast.

You may want stay away from Elder Scrolls IV -- I played through the first three chapters of it on my dad's computer and even though I liked it, would have to admit that the game would seem to be baiting it self to bite a bullet here or there like most RPG's; overall I'd say 8.3 or so (the graphics are fairly modest for a hjigh profile game - meaning I liked them) , but one you would eventually be sure to get your money out of - unless you have become a little apprehensive of the genre in which case I would probably point out Rainbow Six again. A GH version would still have to be the steal of the new century though....

I heard from someone else (?) on line that the whole Backwards Compatibility issue is only so much of a problem as you can get emulated games downloaded on the Playstation online network - which still means that it is a proble, for those of us who do not have the ability to get on to a Sony site or do not want to worry yet about subscription service or the hardware(?) needed to get us there. The other, more direct problem with this is unless Sony releases some hardware for a person to be able to write there own DVDs off of the PS3 (which is doubtful), then the PS2 games are going to eventually take up a fair amount of room on the Hard drive. Truthfully, I think that the PS2's are so cheap right now that this isn't so much of a factor. Perhaps an adaptor will be made to allow faithful PS2 fans to play their much loved games on the new PS3's after their original system fails.
