This ain't your momma's Nintendo
People getting mugged. People getting shot. People needing escorts to their cars. People waiting in line for hours upon hours for the local Wal-Mart to open. You'd think that with all this chaos and ridiculous behavior that the apocalypse had finally arrived. That or two video game consoles that gamers have been anticipating for years now have finally hit store shelves.

I've been following all of the craziness and irrational behavior of the past few weeks since Nintendo launched the Wii and Sony launched the Playstation 3 and it has been nothing short of insane. People waiting for days in line for a game system that costs $650 after tax or that they could get in 2 months with no wait. Stories of people getting mugged and shot for their game consoles. Listings on eBay for several 100% markups over the retail price. And idiotic publicity stunts like SmashMyPS3 which worked because of the sheer audacity and stupidity of these idiots. Granted I love video games as much as the next guy, okay maybe not as much as...

Don't forget to keep your GC controllers for Virtual Console games
Another IGN list read, and another one that I don't agree with so here are my top 10 GameCube games.

10 - Pokémon Colosseum


The first real Pokémon RPG that wasn't on a handheld came as a bit of a shock. What was even stranger however were the new Shadow Pokémon, Pokémon with corrupted hearts (Heartless anyone?) which along with your new companion you must rescue in order to restore their hearts. This game is slightly railed, but you do get the odd moments where you can do whatever you like. You don't have to earn any badges or anything, all you have to do is catch all 48 of the Shadow Pokémon. Once the Shadow ones are purified and the game completed, they can be transferred back to your GBA games, meaning previously unobtainable legendaries such as Entei are now avaliable.


9 - Beyond Good & Evil


Beyond Good & Evil is freaking wierd. Very freaking wierd. A female protagonist in the form of Jade helps along the very pretty visuals of this game. You are mostly armed with just a camera in this game, which is your way of making money....

Ok, this is my first attempt at a review so polite constructive criticism will be welcomed.

CHARACTERS
I'll talk first about the characters (please note, there may be spoilers but most of the characters are so rubbish I don't think it matters). None of the characters have an item which is exclusive to them which is.... well, disappointing is an understatement. As for the choice of characters, it's full of pathetic clones; it has to be said that Nintendo is hopeless at thinking up of original characters. Here's some of the light-weight characters: Baby Luigi, Baby Mario, Baby Daisy, Baby Peach. I am sick of the freaking babies. Nintendo also seems to lack an understanding of weight, as Rosalina (from Mario Galaxy [yes, they put her in as well]) is classed as a heavy weight character. Luckily, Oh, and yet another excuse-for-a-character is Skeletal Bowser. I did however like the addition of Funky Kong; who, despite looking like a gangster is rather amusing.
