Mario Power Tennis
GameSpot Score =
8.9
IGN Score = 8.5
The Mushroom Kingdom has hosted
tennis tournaments before, but never one as explosive as this one. The wild multiplayer action of the smash Nintendo 64 hit,
Mario Tennis, returns with even more powerful shots and new, character-specific power-ups guaranteed to make for the craziest
matches ever! Instead of just striking a ball back and forth, opponents in Mario Tennis will launch flaming volleys and slam
hits with oversized mallets. Gamers play amidst all-new courts and obstacles, as well as some new characters and game modes.
For example, you now get to play in the courts of Luigi's Mansion and below the packed stadiums of Peach Dome. Each court
brings its own set of challenges. Each character also boasts his/her own set of moves, and each of them fitting the personality
of its respective character.
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
GameSpot Score = 9.1
IGN Score = 9.5
In this highly anticipated sequel to Metroid
Prime, become the bounty hunter behind the visor once more and travel to a planet torn into light and darkness. Hunted
by a mysterious entity and a warring race called the Ing, Samus Aran must explore the light and dark worlds of this doomed
planet to discover secrets and augment her suit's weapons and abilities. And now, for the first time in the history of the
celebrated Metroid franchise, up to four players can battle each other as they search for weapons, grapple across ceilings,
and turn into Morph Balls to make their escapes.
The
Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
GameSpot Score =8.2
IGN Score = 8.4
In The Incredible Hulk, players can jump anywhere,
climb anything and smash everything -- even destroy entire buildings -- as the Hulk, the strongest hero there is! Gamers will
create their own Hulk-powered weapons from anything they can rip out of the environment, unlock new moves to battle huge enemies
in epic boss fights and experience deep and varied game elements by exploring free-roaming non-mission and side mission gameplay.
Prince
of Persia: The Two Thrones
GameSpot Score = 8.6
IGN Score = 8.8
The third
chapter of Ubisoft's continuing revival of the classic Prince of Persia series. The Prince of Persia, a seasoned warrior,
returns from the Island of Time to Babylon with his love, Kaileena. Instead of the peace that he longs for, he finds his homeland
ravaged by war and the kingdom turned against him. The Prince is rapidly captured and Kaileena has no choice but to sacrifice
herself and unleash the Sands of Time in order to save him. Now cast out on the streets and hunted as a fugitive, the Prince
soon discovers that past battles have given rise to a deadly Dark Prince, whose spirit gradually possesses him.
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
GameSpot
Score = 8.8
IGN Score = 8.6
The Old Man said to the Prince, "Your fate has been written. You will die."
Enter the dark underworld of Prince of Persia 2, the sword-slashing sequel to the critically acclaimed Prince of Persia: The
Sands of Time. Hunted by Dahaka, an immortal incarnation of Fate seeking divine retribution, the Prince embarks upon a path
of both carnage and mystery to defy his preordained death. His journey leads to the infernal core of a cursed island stronghold
harboring mankind's greatest fears. Only through grim resolve, bitter defiance and the mastery of deadly new combat arts can
the Prince rise to a new level of warriorship -- and emerge from this ultimate trial with his life.
James Bond 007: From Russia
With Love
GameSpot Score = 7.0
IGN
Score = 7.9
Sean Connery is lending his considerable vocal talents
to the game, reprising his legendary role as the original James Bond. The game itself is based directly on the classic From
Russia With Love film, both in terms of famous film scenes and in its now-retro 1960s style. Of course, EA is adding some
new plot twists and gadgets to keep the action fresh.
Paper
Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
GameSpot
Score = 9.2 IGN Score = 9.1
GameCube sequel
to the unique 2.5D roleplaying game for N64. Known as Mario Story 2 in Japan, Paper Mario 2 combines turn-based battles with
action elements. You select commands from a command ring atop your characters' heads, such as jumping or swinging a hammer,
then have to time yourself just right to defend or pull off maximum damage. Throughout their adventure, Mario and friends
find help in a few items and places. You can heal your party at an inn and purchase items at a shop, collect coins by defeating
enemies, and buy new special abilities in a badge shop. Paper Mario 2 also features a lot of different mini games, such as
a quiz show or the ability to control Bowser in a sidescrolling action sequence.
Def Jam: Fight for NY
GameSpot
Score = 8.7
IGN Score = 8.7

X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse
GameSpot Score = 8.1
IGN Score =8.0
Exactly one month after the release of X-Men Legends, Activision
has announced that a sequel is on the way. The title is being developed by Raven Software, the same company who worked on
the original. This is good news for X-Men fans since X-Men Legends provided an intense four-mutant fighting experience on
PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube. With strong reviews and sales from the original, more is definitely better in this case.
Mortal Kombat: Deception
GameSpot
Score =8.3
IGN Score = 8.5
The sixth episode of the violent
and visceral fighting series from Midway pounces on the success of MK: Deadly Alliance to tear even more pain and gameplay
pleasure out of the Mortal Kombat beast. Destructible environments and break-through walls that lead to other arenas
or fatality zones hearken back to the glory days of the series' surprise smash-through stages, while favorite characters from
the series such as Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Mileena and the returning Baraka all vie for the chance to choose the fate of the world
again.
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
GameSpot Score = 8.2
IGN Score = 8.5
In a joint
development effort between Silicon Knights, Nintendo and Konami, the classic PlayStation hit Metal Gear Solid is recreated
with updated graphics and an expanded story on the Nintendo GameCube. This overhauled version of the PS One best-seller features
graphics on par with the MGS sequels on PlayStation 2, as well as all of Snake's new abilities. Snake is able to hang from
ledges, shoot from a first-person perspective, and hide himself and enemies in lockers, to name a few of Twin Snakes'
improvements. In addition to brand-new cinematics and audio (featuring all the original voice actors and added music), the
game also packs new weapons, story points, and added replay options.

Super Mario Strikers
GameSpot Score = 7.2
IGN Score = 7.6
Average Score = 8.0
My Score = 7.5
Nintendo's foray into sports titles continues with Super Mario Strikers, a soccer game that's
unlike anything ever to hit the pitch. Whether players are freezing their opponents with an ice-cold shell, unleashing a spiny
shell on their hapless opponents or making entire teams flee in terror with a roving Chain Chomp, they're sure to see something
new around every corner kick.
Super Mario Strikers features all the favorite characters from the Nintendo universe, as
well as four-person multiplayer action that will have players and their friends cheering all night long. Get ready for the
world cup of gaming.
Mario Superstar Baseball
GameSpot Score = 8.0
IGN Score = 7.9
Average Score = 8.2
My Score = 7.7
Another Mario themed sports title. Nintendo is handling production with Namco's baseball game development
staff working on the actual development of the title. This is similar to the design setup for Star Fox. The game features
a "Challenge Mode" that lets players work through a progressive storyline. A versus mode has players pick their favorite Mario
character to captain a team against a rival, with a Trophy Mode allowing for tournament play. Mini-games and a baseball encyclopedia
will also be included.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
GameSpot Score = 8.9
IGN Score = 9.6
Average Score = 9.0
My Score = 9.9
This is the first game I got for the GameCube and probably still my favorite. This is the sequel to the N64 game Super
Smash Bros. and I also have that. In this game you get to choose from classic Nintendo characters and than fight. There are
a few different games modes and they are all pretty fun. 1 to 4 players can play this game and the more people the better
I would say. I highly recommend this game to everyone.
Super Mario Sunshine
GameSpot Score = 8.0
IGN Score = 9.4
Average Score = 9.1
My Score = 7.9
This Mario game is a little bit different than normal because it doesn't take place in the Mushroom
Kingdom and Mario is equipped with some sort of water sprayer. This is
a great game, but I like all Mario games. They arent too hard and they are pretty long which makes them fun. There are still
a few things that never change though such as you still have to save Princess Peach and Bowser is still the bad guy. Also
Yoshi is back and you can ride him around.
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
GameSpot Score = 7.9
IGN Score = 7.9
Average Score = 9.0
My Score = 8.7
Mario Karts are awesome games and this one is no different. Its a little different from usual because two
characters ride in one kart but that just makes it more exciting. You get to pick any two drivers you want and any kart as
well which I think is pretty bad ass. There isn't very many levels in the battle mode, hopefully I can unlock more. Playing
Single player mode is fun, but it's funner with more than one person. There are some characters and karts that you can unlock
if your good. This game is awesome and you should buy it.
Mario Party 5
GameSpot Score = 6.9
IGN Score = 7.9
Average Score = 7.3
My Score = 8.0
I like the Mario Party games, they are probably the best party game out there. This one is a lot like they other ones,
but there is more stuff to do with over 70 new mini games and a new story mode plus other exciting new additions. The one
thing that people may not like is that Donkey Kong is no longer a playabel charcter, he is still in the game and he helps
you sometimes, but you can't be him. I really don't care because I never use him anyway and with Waluigi who would. I'm not
sure if there is stuff you can unlock because I just got it, but there probably is.
Mario Party 4
GameSpot Score = 7.2
IGN Score = 6.9
Average Score = 7.2
My Score = 7.9
This is the fourth game in the popular Mario Party series, which you can plainly see by the title. This games features
over 50 brand new mini-games and over 5 new boards. There are a few things different in this game such as now you
can play story mode and win presents, and you can even be on teams in multi-player mode. Once you beat a board in story mode
you must play a min-game against the owner of the board (Boo, Toad, ect.). After you beat all the boards you must play on
the Bowser board and if you beat that you must fight Bowser. This is a fun game, but it gets boring after a little bit. It
needs more mini-games and boards.
Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour
GameSpot
Score = 8.3
IGN Score = 8.0
Average Score = 8.0
My Score = 7.9
In this game you can play at different courses and see famous Mario-related locations. You
can choose from different clubs just like before, but now you can also choose from different swings such as backspin and topspin.
The game supports up to four players, and it lets you pick from the standard cast of Mario favorites, including Peach, Luigi,
and Waluigi. The game has a many different options for play, including match and stroke play or various tournaments.
There are many courses to unlock and a few characters to unlock so this game should keep you busy for quit sometime. The game
will also allows you to connect with the upcoming Game Boy Advance version of Mario Golf: Advance Tour, where you
will be able to develop a cahacter and trancfer him/her to the GameCube game.
Wario Ware Inc.: Mega Party Game$
GameSpot
Score = 7.0
IGN Score = 7.6
Average Score = 7.6
My Score = 7.7
This game is just like the one for Game Boy Advance, but with some added multiplayer fun. It
would have been better if they put new games into it. If you have this one you don't need the GBA version unless you
want to play it on the road or something.
Wario
World
GameSpot Score = 6.4
IGN Score = 7.1
Average Score = 7.2
My Score = 6.9
This
game is pretty fun, it is almost like a side scrolling game but not really you would have to see it to know what I mean.
In this game a black jewle turns Wario's treasure and his castle into a different world and he must beat up everyone to change
it back. It wasn't very long but it was fun while it lasted.
Metoid Prime
GameSpot Score = 9.7
IGN Score = 9.8
Average Score = 9.4
My Score = 9.0
This game isn't as bad as I thought it once was. Once I figured out what I was doing, this game was pretty fun. It
kind of reminds me of the old Zelda games for Ninendo 64 just with guns because there is a lot of stuff you need
to find and it's a big adventure.
The
Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
GameSpot Score = 9.3
IGN Score = 9.6
Average Score = 9.6
My Score = 8.0
This is probably the worst Zelda game ever made by Nintendo.
The graphics are all cartoony and gay. The story is completely different from any other Zelda game. You have to ride a boat
everywhere, which takes forever and is boring. The game is a lot shorter and easier than any other Zelda game, which really
takes away from the enjoyment. Most of the time in this game is taken up by searching the ocean for maps and triforce
pieces, which is really stupid and pointless. I usually would highly recommend Zelda games, but not this time, I highly
don't recommend this game. It takes away from the greatness of all the other Zelda games.
Star Fox Adventures
GameSpot Score = 8.3
IGN Score = 9.0
Average Score = 8.1
My Score = 8.0
I didn't like the old Star Fox games were
all you did was fly the Airwing around, but this one is different and I think it is cool. You hardly fly in this game
at all and that makes it a lot better. In this game you fight dinosaurs and solve puzzles to try and save Dinosaur Planet.
F-Zero GX
GameSpot
Score = 8.6
IGN Score = 9.3
Average Score = 8.6
My Score = 7.9
F-Zero games aren't bad and this one is sweet. It has the best graphics I have ever seen and the
cars, or whatever they are, go super fast. For those people that don't know F-Zero is like a futuristic racing game.
This is one of the fastest games I have ever played, if you blink you could run into a wall. But this game isn't just
racing there also is a cool Story Mode where you play as Captain Falcon, the most famous character from the F-Zero games.
Captain Falcon is also in the Super Smash Bros. games some of you might remember him. There is also an awesome F-Zero Store
were you can buy car parts and other stuff then customize your own vehical. Overall I think this is a great game and you should
all buy it.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
GameSpot
Score = 9.0
IGN Score = 9.6
Average Score = 9.1
My Score = 9.0
Publisher Ubisoft brings us the next official installment in the
legendary Prince of Persia series with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for the GameCube. Play as an acrobatic
Prince who can run on walls, swing off poles, jump and flip, and much, much more. Using the Sands of Time, players can slow,
stop and even reverse the flow of time to their advantage. Wield several different powerful swords and do battle with magical
enemies on your mission to restore order to ancient Persia. Extra features include the playable version of the compete original
PoP game, as well as a 3D level from the original and a behind the scenes making of featurette.
James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing
GameSpot Score = 8.8
IGN Score = 8.5
Average Score = 8.4
My Score = 8.9
This is on of the best 007 games yet, if not the best. It's different from the other because it's in 3rd person
so you can see James Bond's whole body, not just his hands. I like it better this way because you can punch people and throw
them and stuff, and you can also hide beind stuff easier. There is also a great cooperative mode which is different from the
one player mode.
James Bond 007: Nightfire
GameSpot Score
= 7.9
IGN Score = 8.5
Average Score = 7.8
My Score = 8.2
This is a sweet game, it is just like all other Bond games except sometimes when you do something special it moves
from first-person (seeing only what Bond sees) to third-person (seeing Bond whole body from the back). This really makes the
game more interesting. This game also has a place where you can put in codes; most Bond games don't have that option. I like
this game.
James Bond
007 in... Agent Under Fire
GameSpot
Score = 6.8
IGN Score = 7.7
Average Score = 7.5
My Score = 7.0
I have a lot of James Bond games I think I have about everyone. I think my favorite one is GoldenEye but this one is
good as well. The only way this one is better is because you can have computer players in the battle mode and it has much
better graphics.
NBA Street V3
GameSpot Score = 9.1
IGN Score = 9.4
Average Score = 8.7
My Score = 8.5
Like the first two NBA Street games,
NBA Street V3 will pit professional basketball players past and present against each other in pickup-style street matches.
Players will be able to choose from a series of over-the-top moves that defy the laws of physics. The game will let players
get street cred by winning matches in a variety of new locales, including Rucker Park and Venice Beach. Players can also customize
their b-ballers, create their own courts, and patent new moves.
TimeSplitters: Future
Perfect
GameSpot Score =7.6
IGN Score = 8.8
Average Score = 8.7
My Score = 8.5
TimeSplitters 2 was one of the best first-person shooters of 2002 due in large
to its face-paced gunplay and unequaled sense of control. The frenzied FPS pitted gamers as human soldiers trying to fend
off an attack from an evil race of alien beings that could jump through time. Developer Free Radical Design nailed the control
mechanics, delivering the closest console recreation of the mouse-and-keyboard accuracy found in PC shooters. Future Perfect
picks up where the last game left off, this time throwing players into the role of badass marine Cortez, who finds himself
on the offense. After the humans learn that the TimeSplitters were created by an entity known only as Crow sometime in the
past, they send Cortez on a mission through time to track this character down and put a stop to his creation, thus eliminating
the alien threat once and for all. Future Perfect not only boasts significantly improved graphics, but brand new locales,
scripted scenarios, and new weapons and items, like the gravity watch and ghost goggles, which let Cortez spot otherwise invisible
spirits. The GameCube version of Future Perfect will not feature an online mode like its PlayStation 2 and Xbox brethren,
but GCN owners can still duke it out in frantic four-player split-screen matches.
Need for Speed Carbon
GameSpot Score = 7.4
IGN Score = 7.8
Average Score = 7.6

X-Men Legends
GameSpot Score = 8.2
IGN Score = 8.4
Average Score = 8.4
My Score = 8.0
The first 3D action-RPG based on the popular Marvel characters, X-Men Legends challenges players to master the
attributes of their favorite X-Men by creating, customizing and controlling teams of four mutants in real time. Assuming the
role of more than a dozen popular Super Heroes, each with individual mutant powers and fighting skills, including Wolverine,

attacks that obliterate all obstacles and enemies in your path. Over 40 fully rendered cinematic sequences illustrate the
cliffhanger plot and lead the X-Men into brutal confrontation with the greatest evil mutant-kind and humankind alike have
ever faced.
Viewtiful Joe
GameSpot Score = 9.2
IGN Score = 9.5
Average Score = 9.0
My Score = 7.9
Fighting action game from Capcom Studio 4's Atsushi Inaba. Joe was just your average, well, Joe until he was transported
into his favorite action movie. In his new environment, Joe discovers he has all the abilities of Hollywood
action-hero. Using new cel-shading techniques, VJ boasts a unique visual style that blends colorful 3D environments with a
twisted take on traditional 2D gameplay. Joe's power stems from skillful martial arts attacks, high-flying acrobatics, and
time-bending special effects. Players can slow down or speed up time when attacking/ dodging enemies, as well as zoom in on
the action to execute different attacks.
Pac-Man World 2 / Pac-Man Vs.
GameSpot Score = NR
IGN Score = NR
Average Score = 8.0
My Score = 8.3
Special budget-priced bundle including both the Pac-Man
World 2 and Pac-Man Vs. discs in one case. The former is a platform/adventure game spread across six worlds, 15
mazes and 20 levels, which has Pac-Man hop, kick, and skate around trying to recover missing golden fruit. Pac-Man Vs.
lets four players compete in an updated version of the classic arcade game by linking a Game Boy Advance to the GameCube.
The player with the GBA controls Pac-Man on the small screen while the other three man the ghosts and try to catch him on
the TV, where only a part of the maze is shown.
NBA
Live 2003
GameSpot Score = 8.2
IGN Score = 8.5
Average
Score = 8.6
My Score = 8.1
This is just a great basketball game. I'm not sure what I can say
about it except for that it is fun. I'm not going to bore you with things you probably don't even care about so I will leave
it at that.
(I also have The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time which is exactly the same as it was for Nintendo 64,
but there is a Master Quest on the disk which is just a little bit harder but the same game. I got the game
free when I bought The Wind Waker.)
(And The Legend of Zelda: Collectors Edition which just has some old Legend of Zelda
games on it, I got this one for free, too.)
(And a Metroid Prime 2 Echoes demo disc; which was sent to me in the mail.)
