The Simpsons: Hit & Run (GameCube)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > GameCube
from: Sierra

October 31, 2003
If you love the Simpsons - read no more just go and buy this game (if you can find it!) and Simpsons Road Rage for that matter!.

Its a bit like Grand Theft Auto without the shooting, blood, pimps and drugs!.

You get mini missions to carry out which vary greatly from time trials (beat Skinner to the school) to finding things and people. Its a lot of fun with once again the 'proper' voices and charaters. Great for short bursts of gaming inbetween your huge adventures games.

Its worth playing for the Bart tutorial alone! very funny!

Beyond Good & Evil (GameCube)

As others as mentioned this game certainly didnt get the credit it deserved when it was released. It is simply fantastic! a great story line and some great characters!. I love the different types of puzzle (like the security camera ones) as it keeps your interest rather than just tooling around hitting things with your stick. I have just bought this for the second time and am not disappointed. Its a beautiful game - go try it!.

GameCube Wavebird Wireless Controller

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > GameCube

I bought one in 2003 and besides the lack of rumble loved it until I threw it at a wall in anger while playing a button basher at Soul Calibur 2. The right shoulder was completely knacked afterward; so if you're prone to throwing things anger think before you buy a wavebird. But I've just bought a new one to go with my Wii because the wavebird is a natural fit for playing GC and VC games on the system. (JUST DON'T LOSE YOUR TEMPER AND CHUCK IT.)

Fire Emblem (GameCube)

November 04, 2005
Ah the Fire Emblem series. I'm guessing you never knew about it until Marth appeared in Super Smash Bros Melee, right? If so, I'm one of these people too and I got curious about the Fire Emblem series and eventually bought this as my first Fire Emblem game.

I'm so glad I did, I've been obsessed with it lately. You control a young mercenary named Ike and he will be the main character throughout the entire game. Thankfully, Intelligent Systems did us a favour and made him extremely powerful. Along the way you'll meet many other characters including the money grabbing, alcohol drinking, gambling Makalov, extremley dedicated Knight of Crimea Kieran who fears nothing. Not even an axe to his head. And my favourite, the lazy Wyvern Lord from ... Read More:

Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (GameCube)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > GameCube
from: Activision

November 22, 2002
Now id like to say that allthough I did give this game five stars and called it a master peice, i do have a few arguments...
1. The gameplay doesnt really pick up until you get your lightsaber, which is an imediate and noticable improvement.
2. The cutscens are, in a nutshell... crud... sorry guys, but theres always gotta be something wrong....
3. Too many Puzzles, allthough its EXTREMLY fun if you find a good Walfthrough, to shed light on otherwise long and boring paths... but remember, you should always see if YOU can finish the level before turning to a walkthrough.
Well, those are the bad points, heres a good pointor two...
1.The lightsaber makes this great game an AWESOME game, now, i used to have this on computer (till one of my ... Read More:

Star Wars: Clone Wars (GameCube)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > GameCube
from: Activision

November 15, 2002
This games conquest is very good, the multiplayer is good, my mum thinks it is awesome cause she beat me at it (but I had only just unlocked the multiplayer-lvl). Overall the game is worth buying, for you get foot-battles and transport-battles. Either way you're always seriously outnumbered, somtimes it is you by YOUR SELF. The game is very hard, but it unlocks many unknown facts of the Star wars saga, like in Star wars kinghts of old republic, you are just past the sith wars and learn a bit about the wars, then playing this, if you get far on it, you find a hero, a traitor, the foe ect.

Official GameCube/Game Boy Advance Link Cable

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > GameCube
from: Nintendo

May 03, 2002
This is a Cable, which allows you to transfer and play with each other between a Nintendo Gamecube and a Game Boy Advance! The clip end of the cable attaches to the top of the Game Boy Advance (or behind if it's a Game Boy Advance SP), whilst the socket connects to either 1-4-player connection on the Nintendo Gamecube! Once connected, you can do whatever you need between you're Game Boy Advance and Nintendo Gamecube.

When purchasing games for both consoles, keep a eye out on the back of the cases to check and see if they require a Cable Connection just so in case you need to obtain one of these cables!

My Grade For The Gadget: 8/10: Enjoyable, Fair-Play, Thumbs Up

My Wish: Sometimes when I use this cable I keep getting connection errors, ... Read More:

Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (GameCube)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > GameCube
from: Electronic Arts

November 05, 2004
I played this game for a short while, and then put it away. I only rediscovered it a few months later, began to play it again, and instantly got addicted.

The game is truly excellent. The storyline is good, the areas to explore are interesting, and the battles, although turn based, do involve a fair bit of strategy. As the game advances, the characters learn more and more moves which get better and better, and the moves you learn are based on the ones you have already been using, which I think is a very good touch. In some parts, you get to meet up with members of the fellowship, and fight alongside them, which are some of the battles I enjoy the most.

There are drawbacks, though. The characters, although interesting, seem wooden, and the storyline, although ... Read More:

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (GameCube)

from: Nintendo

March 12, 2004
Crystal Chronicles may have its flaws, but it's still a game worthy enough to be played in a wide time-span.

The character selection is actually quite interesting in the way that you are not restricted to one character to fight through the storyline. You can choose to specialise in strength, defence, magic, speed, and you even get a variety of looks to choose from. You gotta admit that's quite cool.

The levels also make a nice change from other FF games, as you have a nice variety of landscapes and enemies to fight through. The graphics on the water (thinking River Belle Path here) is actually quite amazing... but the monsters and especially the bosses are also pleasing to look at graphically. The music is also a nice touch (and VERY catchy at times :>)
