Though the Gamecube was by no means Nintendo's most successful console, that didn't stop it from having some truly great games. Matt Beaudette of Gaming Irresponsibly runs down his ten favorite Nintendo Gamecube games.
"You won't see Heavy Rain on the Xbox360 or Fable III on the Wii, and the reason is fairly transparent; the respective console producers would like to hold all the aces and lead you to believe that they have enough to warrant your purchase of their system. First party titles, like the Legend of Zelda series, are the cards played closest to the chest; few would expect Halo or Mario games to release on any other console than their mother company's. It's the second and third party developers that..."
"Females in video games tend to be designed to do one thing - get the attention of male gamers. Sure they can be just as badass as the male heroes, stars and villains of other games, but their designs almost always lean towards the "exaggerated" side regarding their female endowments. It's one of the reasons there's an entire market for dolls, posters and more (primarily in Asia). Even cosplay has invaded western culture with real-life women becoming "internet famous" just for dressing like ..."
"This week’s female character of choice is Seong Mi-na from Namco's Soul (Edge/Blade and Calibur) series. First appearing in Soul Blade, she has returned for every sequel in the series, with one exception being the spin-off Soulcalibur Legends. She’s typically a non-starting character that has to be unlocked, which gives her that “hard to get” appeal. Outside of her fighting style, we think you can gather any other info you need from the image below, which fills up two pages."
"Video games are packed with a lot of outrageous and interesting characters. One of the most intriguing things about gaming is that male gamers never have a problem playing as women. Maybe that’s because the female characters aren’t designed to look tough like the male characters. We’ve picked the five hottest female characters in video games."
"If there's one thing Destructoid doesn't do enough of, it's the cataloging and rating of female body parts in a cynical bid to keep the virgins and date rapists interested. Fortunately, we plan to address that with a new series of articles that catalog and rate female body parts in a cynical bid to keep the virgins and date rapists interested. The hits will come flooding in.
So, arses. Everybody loves a good arse, unless they're proctologists who I feel wouldn't want to take their work ho..."
Metroid Prime, Kingdom Hearts and Super Mario Sunshine led the charge in 2002, the year that saw The Sims become the highest selling PC title of all time, Rare switch hands from Microsoft to Nintendo, and the launch of the first video game television network, G4.
Counting down the top games from 1990 straight up through 2008, Binge Gamer's James Walker takes a look at the best (and worst) games from the year of the GameCube, 2002.
The games should start arriving this week at retailers Wednesday, September 17, and they should have a good truckload this time. Tons of stuff out to coincide with the fall season, and a nice bit of it is very promising. From Dragon Quest IV to Star Wars: The Force Unleashed to Crysis Warhead to WAR to Rock Band 2, gamers won't have trouble finding their blockbuster title of choice, though the trouble may be in finding how many one can afford.
