Christmas Comes Early

Marking the three month anniversary of my XBOX purchase I've celebrated by buying a Nintendo GameCube. Adding a fourth gaming system to my collection allows for a wider range of games I can review. On the less practical side...it's just plain cool to own yet another gaming system. I'm going to be a busy boy.

The Gamecube comes with a promotional copy of the four games in the Zelda series. Not wanting to wait for any review copies I bought Star Wars:Rebel Strike and Mario Kart:Double Dash. Having only a couple of hours to play with this system I haven't had a chance to form any real concrete opinions about the system. Aside from its unique design it features a high capacity optical disk. Notably these disks are only three inches diameter and help to keep the size of the player down. Sporting a handy carrying handle the small size of the Gamecube begs to be transported to a friends house for an afternoon of gaming.

As with all of my purchases expect to see a detailed review of the Gamecube in the coming weeks.
