    I think the last game i will get for my Cube will be Zelda. Then I'll probably buy a PS2 or something but i wont sell my cube cos there are some quality games on there. But there are also a lot of cool games on other platforms that i want to play but can't

    ROTS not for cube....

    I think its because the cube can't support harcore graphics.

    I mean I have a gamecube but I think, it just the little train who couldn't.

    Besides the fact there are plenty of games for all three systems that look like crap on the PS2 but great on the GCN?

    Great graphics Games:
    Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
    The Metroid Prime series
    The Pikmin series.
    Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
    Tales of Symphonia.
    The New Legend of Zelda
    Resident Evil IV

    The Gamecube technologically is superior to the PS2 in ALL counts. Believe it or not, the GCN is comparable to the X-Box in graphical capability.

    Don't knock the little system. It's capable of handling anything the competition dishes out. The problem is no one makes games for the GCN anymore except Nintendo itself.

    If you ask me, the graphics on the GC look better than the PS2 or XBOX, it just looks a little more smooth and natural on the GC.

    GC's graphics definately kick the krap out of the PS2's...and I'd say are atleast on par with the X-BOX. I'm only jealous that PS2 owners get Soul Calibur 3 and I don't... :(

    It goes Xbox ======> Gamecube ========> PS2. It's pretty much general knowledge that the Cubes graphical ability is below the Xbox. One of it's shortcomings is the Cube lack of RAM. Take Metroid Prime and fire it up, now walk up to any surface and look at the textures. They pale in comparison to games like Halo and Ridick. Or walk Samus up to a wall, charge up your canon and fire, notices the clunky pixels that show up. Or look at how Splinter Cells graphics had to be downgraded when it got ported to the Cube. The graphical difference isn't as huge as with the PS2, but it is still noticeable.

    The PS2 is comfortably the weakest console. Graphically, X-Box and GC are on a similar ground. It's hard to say who's better really, but the X-Box has a hard drive and plays DVD's. Nuff said. :(

    it dont matter PC is the strongest so ROTS should be for PC. Yea and I do agree xbox is stronger,... but not better. Once ps3 comes out its hardware will be 10x stronger than xbox 360 and next-gen nintendo combined. I mean ps3 was in develepment before xbox came out, a lot of work went into it.

    >>>Once ps3 comes out its hardware will be 10x stronger than xbox 360 and next-gen nintendo combined.<<<

    Lol, what have you been smoking. The PS3 comes out six months after Xbox360. The differences in tech wont even be twice as powerful as the Xbox360 let alone 10x more powerful then the 360 and the Revolution combined. [face_laugh] The Rev by the way being released a short time after the PS3. This next gen the graphics on all three consoles will be pretty close. You wont see a huge difference between them.

    Please enlighten us. How is the PS3 going to have 10x the overall power that the Xbox 360 and the Revolution combined.

    We're getting to the point where "power" whatever that means, is not enough. We need some serious out of the box thinking... which is where Nintendo live. So at least they're going to be doing something right.

    Which really doesn't make sense to me considering that the GC version of SC2 outsold both the X-Box and PS2 version.

    Love the title change.

    [favored console] is clearly superior because it [favored console's merits] and [competing console] [competing console's faults]. [subjective opinion with little factual basis regarding competing console]. Obviously, [sweeping generalization regarding the sanity/intelligence of competing console's supporters], and they don't realize that [reference to the competing console's parent corporation, preferably with corrupt dealings]. [praise of favored console's hardware, citing technical capabilities], but [insult regarding the appearance of competing console, with no mention of technical capabilities other than the lowest possible specs]. [competing console] has [crappiest games in competing console's library, preferably multiplatform games for a touch of delightful irony], while [favored console] has [best games in favored console's library, again with the multiplatform irony]. [highly acclaimed developer/designer who works closely with favored company] obviously likes it, and who's supporting [competing console] but [unqualified celebrity, preferably one who gamers generally hate] so [sarcastic remark]. [idiotic comparison of controller designs, with phrases like "I have big hands, so..." or "the 'start' button should be there"]. [names genres of which favored console has an abundance, but conveniently forgets the genres it lacks], [opinion favoring certain genres over others, not realizing that people actually have different opinions]. [a closing insult involving the mothers of competing console supporters], [proclamation of victory].

    Oh, and here's the PC'er version:

    [boast regarding the technical capablities of his high-end, absurdly expensive PC]. [praise of PC games' graphics(Doom 3 is a required mention), somehow forgetting that even most modern PC games don't come close to these high-end monsters]. [arrogantly asserts that console games are inferior because of their graphics], [insult regarding the mothers of console owners]. [proclamation of pwnage].*

    *insert religious praise of the mouse-and-keyboard controls wherever necessary.

    I got a Gamecube shortly after launch, with Rogue Leader, loved it, got Star Fox Adventures, loved it, got Animal Crossing, considered it one of my favorite games ever, got PSO, loved it, then came FF Crystal Chronicles, that game seriously stinks, and it seems GCN has been going downhill since. Something I also dislike about Gamecube is....basically NO online support at all, to me that what sets XBox above Gamecube, granted I don't like first person shooters, but games like KOTOR, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Morrowind, and tons of others are what makes XBox better in my book. Also Gamecubes kiddy graphics turned me off too, after GCN I swore never to buy another Nintendo made system, and so far i'm going strong, although I do have an urge to get a DS.

    I only bought Nintendo consoles until the GC came out, it's games selection and the fact there's no online games except PSO. I debated rather to get a PS2 or a Xbox. I choose the Xbox because it's games selesction and it's online features are way better than PS2's.

    Anyway, I still think "Xbox 360" is a lameass name. Xenon was cooler. The main problem I have with the name is that if you turn 360 degrees, you end up facing the same way.

    "What is this, Benedict? First you're my friend; now you turn a...360 on me!"

    "180, you stupid, spaghetti-slurping cretin -- *180*! If I did a 360, I'd go completely around and end up back where I started!"

    Whether Xbox 2 or PS3, I wasn't planning on buying either one at launch, no matter how cheap. Every other quarter since last summer, there's a new game "pushing the console to its limit," even with the "weak" PS2. I'm still enjoying the current generation, and there are at least five games that I'd buy right now if I found the time to play them.

    Are console sales even plateauing yet?

    The funniest thing about all this? Perfect Dark Zero is NOW supposed to appear on Xbox 360. I think I made a joke a couple of years back about that game being released in 2008, and that might end up becoming true.

    I used to like Rare, too.
