I am digging the new site design and now that my profile is back I am loving it. My only request is that you be able to move games from one stack to another and a better sorting mechanism for the stacks because right now to find any game in my collection I am scrolling through page after page. Before the site redesign I could filter it out by system (Gamecube, PC, Xbox 360, etc.)

For the love of god, a Demo channel would be the best thing to happen to that system. The voting channel is great but its potential is wasted with voting for such meaningless garbage. The voting channel could be used for picking from a list of new VC games.

My Gamecube has, at long last, retired. But the games still live on as my Wii can play them all. In order of connection to my game selector it goes:

Dreamcast spot 1

Wii spot 2

Xbox spot 3

Retired in pristine condition are the Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, Sega Saturn, N64, Gamecube, NES.

Portable systems still active include GBA SP and DS.

Systems on the horizon to buy in the next 6 months include? PS3.

System I will buy eventually when it can play ALL my old Xbox games is obviously Xbox 360. I am not the type of person who trades in my games. They were purchased for my enjoyment and are considered an investment.

Eternal Darkness was hands down the scariest game on the Gamecube. Think I'm lying? Play it in the dark with surround sound turned on, by yourself, and take your time. Explore every inch of that game and when it starts to f*&k with you, talk to you,, whisper to you, play visual tricks on you and just generally creep you out, then tell me its not scary. I am in no way downing the RE series, especially RE4. But in my opinion, RE4 was just way to action oriented and generally thrilling to be scary. Not saying there were not some tense moments.

So what is the difference between the US and Japanese Wii? Since I am one of the few that have not bought one yet because of lack of availibility, I can probably import one for cheaper than it would cost me to get one here in the US as my brother is in Japan and he says the Wii is abundant. He says he could ship me one for 20  bucks and including the price that is about what I would pay for one new here.

Another brilliant idea would be to turn the Wii into a DS download station for DS Demo's since the download stations are usually at places you don frequent very often to take advantage of the awesome service. I mean, for for some people, if what we don't have is not at a store we shop at, we usually just go home and buy online. Its even more common for me to buy online since I am not in America currently and have no idea where to find one.

I am not the one to complain but seriously, why not add some normal cars to the list that are not dubbed supercars or high performance cars like your everyday drivers such as Ford Taurus, Volkswagen Passat, Honda Accord to the list as I am sure people that don't own a car that is a widely modified vehicle would like to see their normal everyday cars suped up. I understand why they put the exotic cars into the lineup as those are cars people dream of owning but it has become a common thing for car games to include these vehicles. Why not add cars people see everyday to the list, cars people actually drive?

Why pick the Gamecube? Eternal Darkness is one reason. Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, Pikmin, Fire Emblem, Mario Golf, F-Zero GX, Metroid Prime, Tales of Symphonia, Baiten Kaito, Day or Reckoning, Soul Calibur 2, and these are just a few games I am mentioning without talking about all the other obvious choices of great well known games. All these games are fun, excecuted masterfully, look great, sound great, and play great. The list could be even longer but a long post about games can get boring. Lets not forget the greatest wireless controller ever created called the Wavebird. How about GBA to Gamecube connectivity for some games. Or the GBA Player? Nothing like playing a game on the television that you play on your GBA. And yet you still have those that doubt the GCN viability? Look at sales? GCN second best selling system in Asia behind PS2 for current gen systems and they sell more systems and games there than in the US, where the GCN still sells, maybe not as many as the Xbox but neither of those two sell as many as PS2 so it doesn't compute to compare oranges to oranges. Should I go on?
