Gamecube - your favourite title and collecting

[Megamixer]

I really enjoyed ED but I gave up in frustration mid-way through the Arabian (?) bloke's chapter because I'd finally had enough of the the awkward combat. I just found it too hard to defend myself from all the enemies when using the characters sword felt so slow.

It is a great game that should be tried out and to be fair, many brilliant survival horror games are cursed with terrible controls and awful combat anyway.

The thing that drew me to ED in the first place was how the story synopsis read like a Lovecraft story, all the ancestral curses and ancient gods etc.
Brilliant story and the way the game played differently dependant on what god you 'aligned' with.

I've only managed to play fifteen minutes of ED for my blog but I really enjoyed what I did play, especially the opening where you are dumped in the room with the skeletons and just left to it.

Eternal Darkness deserves all the praise it can get. Genuinly unnerving, imaginative and the sanity meter was a genius idea that im surprised hasnt been copied by anyone else since.

Don't know if it became before or after, but Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth had a sanity meter, it was a bit more complex than just a little bar though.

CoC:DCotE came out a while later in PC an Xbox and basically sucked when you got to the Marsh Refinery due to very limited ammo and unlimited respawning enemies...

ooh that was a tough section, and as much as love it, CoC is a tough game to love...

Viewtiful Joe is a must for a Gamecube collection. Definitely one of the best titles of the 128bit era.

I ordered a complete copy of Billy Hatcher & the Giant Egg off amazon for pretty cheap a few weeks ago. Never played the game but heard some good things about it.

Well that really doesn't help.

I've pm'ed you with the answer (I think).

Me and my six year old son set up the Gamecube yesterday.


Awesome system, and I've still got loads of games for it.


On a cold and rainy day like today, we mostly played Mario Party 6.

[hydr0x]

Isn't there some helpful kid or something in Luigi's Mansion?

Not Mario related is a bit vague isn't it, though I can't recall any kid in Luigi's Mansion.

I reckon I've actually figured this out but it does depend on one of the clues being a little misleading.

Its neither your suggestion Pratty, nor anyone from Luigi's Mansion. Thanks alot though. The poster has picked a very vague choice which inspires little enthusiasm to keep trying, as he's just being stupid now with his answers.

Just started playing Chibi Robo again, I picked it up a few weeks ago. I'd forgotten just how brilliant this game is. Unique, fun, and strangely touching - one of the most underrated games of the last decade. I don't know about it being my favorite GC game (SSBM and Luigi's Mansion are right up there) but it's certainly one of them - it's a real shame it didn't appear on the more popular Wii originally, I think it would have had decent appeal to the casual gamer.
