Damn,and i thought Half-life 2,and Doom 3(which are awesome games) would be the bigest games next to Halo 2.

All Zelda,and Resident evil games suck.Plus gamecube is not that good either.

Man,the best games are: Halo 2 1st,Half-life 2 2nd,Doom 3 3rd,and Halo 4th. And thats the end of that! -blam!-!


And you are how old? All of those game were very recent. Hell, 3 of them have yet to come out. How can you rate them!? This is my point, no one remembers the greats. Ever play Contra? Joust? Super Mario Bros? Tetris? Space Invaders? Pac-Man?

Achilles


19 buddy,oh iam rating them by:what i've seen,heared,and what i thought about the older games.(like Doom,Half-life,and halo)
My point is,shut the -blam!- up!
Oh,and how old are you?


Well I'm 20, but you sound like some immature 12 yr old. So you know I had to ask. You claim that you rated the old classics as well, I doubt you even really played them. You are one of those who only care about flashy graphics and nothing more. You're favorite games include game that were recently released or that which have not even come out yet. Some gamer you are. If you look at the good decent polls of the "greatest" games of all times, you will see PC and Console classics dominating and. It is few and far between when you see a recent game on those lists. So in other word's, my point is shut the -blam!- up.

its now number 4 and its probably because the people love game cube (aka game crap) more then Xbox or they never heard that much of halo 2 or they are just plain stupid.

Yes i feel that this is nonsense how could a game for nintendo be bigger that a game for xbox. clearify this but is it only on GC or is it on evry platform because if its only on GC then that absolutely impossible but if its on all platforms i still find it hard to believe.

I say good. mor for us. so we don't have to wait for back orderd copies if we sleep in when the game store opens. but i'm not that crazy and i'm not going to sleep out side the door of target to get the game.

AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."

While I do agree that I was VERY upset at the cell-shaded young Link in Windwaker, I am VERY happy to see a non-cell shaded Adult Link for the new Zelda. They are going to back to something like Ocarina of Time, and I couldn't be happier. So this may explain why it's so high on the list. A Dark Zelda game, with an Adult Link, not cell-shaded and like Ocarina. Also, RE4 is up there due to the whole new game aspect. No longer do you fight Zombies and the evil Umbrella. Capcom changed a lot. Besides adding a First Person aspect for shooting, the better grahpics, a whole new storyline and a fan favorite, Leon Kennedy from RE2, it is no surprise that it's number 1. As someone stated. We know what to expect in H2, save the storyline. In these aother games... little is known espeically on Zelda. So... I can't wait to play them. ALL of them.

Both RE4 and Zelda are GC exclusive. Believe it, and another GC exclusive Metroid Prime 2 is right behind H2, if not perhaps beating it.

Do any of you realize that out there somewhere there's probably another forum that's bustling with contempt against the Halo community? Many of you are dismissing great games as crap. Why? Have you ever even played a Zelda game? RE4 was the first Resident Evil game that ever really caught my attention; try watching the trailers for both games. I love my X Box, and I love Halo, don't get me wrong, but Gamecube is my favorite console. Nintendo has always been my favorite console company. Call me a fanboy, but that won't solve anything. Stop judging games just because they're not Halo 2- start judging them on how much of an experience they are. Who ever wrote in stone the the Gamecube was strictly a child's console? Have any of you played Metroid Prime? Wind Waker? Give it a chance before you judge it. You might actually *gasp* enjoy it.

well if there both on GC and GC barly has 10% of the market share then its hard to believe that a small GC community can beat the ever growing xbox comunnity so think how can a console without a huge deal of fans have the most anticipated games when the massive xbox community isnt in the lead.

You say look at market shares, ok, I will. I will agree there are more Xbox console sales than GC... not doubt. But let me prove a point, take the Game Soul Calibur 2 for instance. How do you explain how a game for a platform which is dead last, with FEWEST sales compared to MS and Sony out sell the other two almost by double? The GC version of SC2 dominated the XBox and PS2 versions.... how you may ask? Simple, cause of a badass, adult Link as a playable character. That's how. All they had to do was add one person... not change graphics, sounds, weapons... just add one person. And they crushed both Xbox and PS2. That shows you how much sway certain game characters have with the gaming community. Personally, I see Xbox beating PS2 by the end of the year or early 2005, and with the titles as we have been discussing coming for GC.... they may beat Sony as well... don't knock them or count them out simply cause they don't have too many good games... give them time. Just as the Xbox is maturing and really chruning out fantastic games... as will GC. Both are younger than the aging PS2, and Sony is seeing how their inferiority to both newer consoles is hurthing them. Slowly but surely they will lose if things stay as they are. When the new consloes are released... it's a whole new ball game.

ok that was absolutely well said. as i said i dont mind GC and anyone who critisises ps2 is a friend of mine. and i dont want to start anything but i'll just say that to all you ps2 fans you could be beaten by 2 new console when you have been in the market for so much longer and have so much experience.

Achilles, yeah. GC is an awesome console. So is X Box. And PS2... well, I guess it kind of is. Sometimes.

Power wise, X Box rules. Online multiplayer wise, X Box rules. But nostalgia wise... that spot goes to Gamecube. Zelda is amazing. Every single game in the series has been worth the expense to be able to own. I didn't like the Playstation Resident Evils, but the GameCube remakes looked mighty fine. I'm not very much into horror games as much as FPSs, action/adventure and RPGs, but I must admit they looked fun from what I saw. Now RE4 makes me feel like I've been missing out on some fun stuff, just from watching the trailers. I was a bit disappointed with Wind Waker's graphical style at first, but after a while I realized just how phenomenal it actually was. It all fits so smoothly and plays so nicely... my only complaints with that game were its difficulty- it was far too easy- and its length. Ocarina of Time had what, eight dungeons? Wind Waker only had six, and each was very short. What happened to the brilliant Water Temple? Ah, oh well. the final boss in WW more than makes up for that :)

And just for good measure, my favorite game series is Final Fantasy. Guess what console most of those are on? That's right. Playstation.

Not a big fan of FF, hate the way they have just churned out game after game for profit. Although some are good. I don't own a PS2, though I may get one since there are a few games I want to badly play that are exclusive to PS2. Oh and you are missing out my friend, in the RE department. Nothing gets me more excited than starting to play a new RE well into the night, with no illumination say the TV, and full surround sound. Zero was alright, but the aspect of there being a partner with you made the experince not as immersive, in other words I didn't have a heartattack playing Zero like I did REmake and the others. THere's nothing better when you walk into a room/hall and it's dead silent, it's ONLY you no one else around and some freak of science bursts through a wall/window/etc. and scares the living S H I T out of you... right before it attacks. *Tear comes to eye remembering RE2* Also, personally I agree with what you said about WW, and in Ocarina, my fav Temple was the Forest, the Water was so tedious, but the boss was awesome and when you had to fight your mirror image.... out--blam!-ing-standing.

Oh what good memories Ocarina brings back ;(
Yes, the water temple was tedious, but I think it was the most rewarding. Shadow Link? How much cooler can you possibly get? Plus the main boss was, as you said, flat out awesome. I love how Zelda games can really cause you to think, and the water temple really got my mind's gears in motion. The forest one was good, too, but I remember the first time I ever played it I was left so disoriented and confused that I almost stopped playing the game. Maybe it's time to dust off the old N64....

I'll have to check out those RE remakes some time. A friend of mine loves them, but I never had the initiative to go out and buy them. Might be worth, it, though. ;)

And I see what you mean about FF, but I still love the series. It still has its moments in the more modern games, even if some of the recent ones haven't had quite as much of the dark flavor as the old classics. Oh well. FF 2-8 were brilliant, 9 was fun, albeit a little on the kiddy side, X was a great game all-around, X-2 was... unique, and the "Tactics" branch of FF are absolute masterpieces. Also, XII looks very promising. XI never really interested me, and the very first one was kind of.... bleh.
