this has been in the making for about 2 years, good to see it finally coming! Can't disagree with that 10 either, spot on really, even though I hate one of them, I can understand why it's there...

Completed this at the weekend. It has the greatest ending to a game I've ever seen, around 20 minutes of perfection! The last chapter had some awesome highlights such as the theme music (you'll have to play it to find out what it is) and Bowsers entrnace. Also the mid way point in the final battle is one of the best things I've experience in an RPG. This is simply the best game on the Gamecube that I've played, and easily ranks above the likes of GTA:SA and SotC as the best game of that generation. Which is odd, as that's usually a place reserved for Zelda

The Legend Of Zelda : Twilight Princes (Wii) - mmmmmm, best game ever. GT4 (PS2) - 100% on another memory card. Yoshi's Island DS (DS) - 100% GTA : Liberty City Stories (PS2) - Just the main story Eledees (Wii) - Main story again, though 100% will be mine! Kororinpa (Wii) - Again, main story, but will 100% be possible on this one? I reckon so. Metal Gear Solid : The Twin Snakes (GC) - Every difficulty level up to hard so far, not brave enough to attempt European Extreme mode yet... Pikmin 2 (GC) Picross DS (DS) - 100% Done, every puzzle completed in under 20 minutes each. Warioware : Smooth Moves (Wii) - Stupidly easy, 100% done in about 4 hours Go Go Beckham (GBA) Puzzle Quest (DS) Paper Mario : The Thousand Year Door (GC) Best game ending ever.

if you want to simplify things into three groups, then yes, PGR would most definitely live in the group as MK/F-Zero. If not, you could probably argue the case for a 4th group. But in no way is PGR even close to Forza/GT....

First of all, PGR, Need For Speed et al are ARCADE racers, they are not sims or in any way shape or form realistic. They belong in the category (or at least very close to) as Mario Kart/F-Zero etc etc. You then have the console sims, such as F1, GT and Forza which are as close to a sim you can get on the consoles. Then, in the hard core world of PC's you get the proper sims such as GTR and the others from Simbin, and Geoff Crammonds Grand Prix. These make GT4/Forza look like PGR... I find I can enjoy them all to a point, but the one that to me is the best is GT4, its a perfect mix of realism/easy to playness....

aye, i tried the hori cloth and my dads special cleaning stuff for records and cds but to no avail. its ok though, the person is giving me a full refund

well we can delete mario golf now already, as the game is scratched to buggery and simply won't play awww, i was so looking forward to it too.

Soul Calibur II and Mario Golf : Toadstool Tour arrived today!!

Well, I keep seeing this thread so it's time to pipe in with what I've completed thus far this annum, and of course I'll update as needs must. The Legend Of Zelda : Twilight Princes (Wii) - mmmmmm, best game ever. GT4 (PS2) - 100% on another memory card. Yoshi's Island DS (DS) - 100% GTA : Liberty City Stories (PS2) - Just the main story Eledees (Wii) - Main story again, though 100% will be mine! Kororinpa (Wii) - Again, main story, but will 100% be possible on this one? I reckon so. Metal Gear Solid : The Twin Snakes (GC) - Every difficulty level up to hard so far, not brave enough to attempt European Extreme mode yet... Pikmin 2 (GC) Picross DS (DS) - 100% Done, every puzzle completed in under 20 minutes each. Warioware : Smooth Moves (Wii) - Stupidly easy, 100% done in about 4 hours Go Go Beckham (GBA) Puzzle Quest (DS) And of course I'll add more as I do them, I predict Paper Mario will be the next one to join the list

Soul Calibur II and Mario Golf : Toadstool Tour are both on their way now

Chapter 6 all done now! Memorable moments include the train journey and the detective, oh boy the detective! And the chef!!!! So many wonderful charecters, I've now clocked up 43 hours of game time. I must admit though I'm doing ALL the troubles between each chapter and going to do loads of side quests and piss about in the arcade. I never want this to end

It's a wonderful game. I have the PS2 version, but it's the same game anyhoo. You'll breeze through the main story mode, but trust me, you'll want to get everything on this, you'll want to see every last bit of the game which will take you a while, but by golly is it worth it

chapter 5 done and dusted! latest memorable moments include the bowser bit, the sea bit and the bomb man!!! hehe, no spoilers, but you'll all see when you meet these moments.

Mario Kart Double Dash!! arrived today.

This game is getting better and better with ever passing moment of time with it. Just finished chapter 4, and whilst theres a bit of back tracking which would get on my nerves normally, with this game it doesn't matter, cos it's such a fucking joy!!!! So many moments I hope I don't forget already, listening the crows gossip is a highlight right now, genius. This is in danger of becoming the best game I've ever played.

Super Mario Sunshine arrived today, woo-hoo!

Update today. Added PuzzleManiak.

I saw it Gamestation last week, so I presume it's out? It might only have got a tiny release though.

still play it everyday. still a joy to behold. at the end of the free mode you get another 15 bonus Nintendo puzzles, all hardware

2 of the Gamecube games arrived today F-Zero GX and Wave Race : Blue Storm Wave Race is fucking hard... F Zero is fucking amazing.

Well I was up all night playing Puzzlemainiak! It's ace. First of all it needs DLDI for R$. The 6 puzzles are all logic ones, and some may take a bit of time to sink in, instructions are provided though. You can choose to just play random puzzles, or download athe daily challenge using WFC. This is really a great fully featured homebrew game. I'll put this into the puzzle guide at some point.

http://puzzlemaniak.free.fr/blog/?cat=5 PuzzleManiak, not played it yet, but looks promising. includes 6 different puzzle types, including Picross and Minesweeper.

good to see everyone's playing it! tis fucking awesome, one of the best games i've played for years.

The DS Lite stand is so nice, thanks to Ed for bigging this up! Mario Kart for the Cube ordered (yay, 3 Cube games on thier way!), and better photos of the last couple things added. Oh yes!
