Aricle: Xbox vs Gamecube. Looking back at the battle for 2nd place.

[a.l.e.x59]

The Gamecube is a legend! It's definitely my favorite console from the 6th generation. There are too many, great games! Super Mario Sunshine, Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, are just some of the many, great games on the Gamecube. But, remove the first party games, and the Gamecube has almost nothing. Than again, the same can be said for many, or all consoles. I like all video game consoles. All of them. But the thing to remember most is that a console is nothing without the games. It's only the games that count, and not the consoles. Dreamcast, Gamecube, Playstation 2, Xbox... They are just plastic, and metal. Therefore, I do not judge consoles, I only judge games.

Although I don't like the Playstation 2 as much as the Gamecube, I definitely think that it is a fantastic console. It definitely has more "good" games than the Gamecube. But, I still think that the Gamecube has more masterpieces, than the Playstation 2. However, franchises like Katamari, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Ratchet, and Jak, definitely remove any wonder on how the Playstation 2 became the best selling console of all time.

Although the Dreamcast died too early, it is still, definitely one of my favorite consoles. I don't know if I like it more than the Playstation 2, but games like Sonic Adventure 1, and 2, are so addicting, that it's hard not to like the Dreamcast. Jet Grind Radio... Crazy Taxi... Got to love them!

Xbox... Oh... The Xbox... My least favorite of them all... I like the Xbox. It is a good system. I don't think it's fantastic, but I do think it is good. Games like Halo, and Halo 2, are definite masterpieces. But, for me, that's where it all ends for the Xbox. Everything else either sucks, is a sports game, or your typical shooter. I play more emulated games on it, than real games. Mind you, the only Xbox games I own are Halo, and Halo 2, but still... Like I said, I don't hate. It is a good system, but I definitely find the number of good games on the system to be extremely lacking...
