For me I did a lot of moving around and lots of nonsense so really only played the last half of the year.
I have all the major consoles as well, but do not play pc games.
Now that I have moved to a much smaller place, I only have my GC, PS2 and GBA. I had a lot of fun with all the consoles this year. For me it broke up to individual games. My cube probably got the most playtime though. With these titles:
GC:::
Viewt Joe Revival
Mario Kart DD
Sonic Heroes
Final Fantasy: cc (didn't spend as much time with this as I wanted.)
Atsumare Wario
PS2:::
Castlevania (after the first boss I couldn't play anymore)
Gran Turismo Prologue
Tekken 4 (pre-emptive :rolleyes: t(-_-t) )
Contra
SSX3
Madden
SFII 15th Anniversary.
GBA:::
Astro Boy
Mario and Luigi superstar saga
Castlevania: Aria
Metroid
Here is an interesting stat for you guys.
In Japan console sales this year:::
PS2 just under 3mil
GBA 2.4mil
GC just over 1.1mil
X-Box 97,000.
This is from memory, so it could be slightly off -- but not much. I have realized that one of the many reasons the xbox doesn't sell well is that frankly most rooms don't have enough room for a ps2, gc and an xbox (kind of a retarded 'omg xbox big' joke -- but its real enough.) I want to get one over here, but it would require a lot of room I don't have.
So... here is where I need a kick in the ass. Tell me how awesome PGR2 is and tell me how great Ninja Gaiden will be. Tell me how I need this system just for these two games -- Do I?
(p.s. I have had the system since release and it rarely got played -- rarely.)
PGR2 is fantastic, but I feel it'd be crippled without Live.

That's enough if you have an HDTV. I didn't at one time, and I used to buy a lot of multi platform games on the GameCube. Since then, I've smartened up and realized that full HDTV and Dolby Digital support beats out shoddy HDTV support and Pro Logic II every single time.Quote:

The Cube controller is only good for Nintendo and "only on Gamecube" releases.
For everything else, it's been S all the way for me.
thats one game pretty much every other Major multiplatform release has supported 480P, so buy that one game on the XboxQuote:

Dolby Digital is great when developers actually make a good 5.1 mix for the games but most dont, Halo has a great 5.1 mix but most multiplatform games dont, developers seem to half ass the 5.1 mix
Im not overly fond of the S controller personally
i really dislike the placement of the white and black buttons and the start and back buttons
Compared to 300 Xbox games.Quote:
