I'm definitely a GCN fan. If you want to compare graphics capabilities of the various platforms, look at Metroid Prime. One word - textures. It looks more realistic than anything else I've seen, even on PC.

About Timesplitters 2, is it like the original, but with beefed-up graphics and not only on PS2? Because that game had the best multiplayer of any FPS I've seen.

Looks Awesome
Done by alot (if not all) of the original Goldeneye team
Has everything everyone wanted in Goldeneye
Better than Goldeneye! (Hard to believe, but true!)
Bots that are fun to play against but can still be set to 'moving target' or 'invincible killing machine' if you like that kind of thing.

I have been a die hard Nintendo fan for as long as I could remember. Nintendo has been coming out with games that are creative, unique, and amazing for most age groups (kids, teenagers, and adults).
My problem with the PS2 is that it is very seldom that they come out with a game that is really awesome. Yes they come out with a lot of games (from various categories) each year but, most of them are really not that great. Whereas Nintendo comes out with a few games each year (except for last year they marketed 180 games in 180 days) yet the majority of those games range from pretty good, to awesome. For the majority, I rate games on gameplay (enjoyability).
I prefer to wait, and pay a little bit more money for a game that has been well developed, and keeps me entertained for years to come.
I also believe SquareSoft was originally with Nintendo...

I still have all of my Nintendo consoles, and over the summer, play with them and relive a few good memories.

Gamecube. I'm obsessed with the Zelda series, and recently, I've become obsessed with the Metroid series.

Old School

ok i prefer old school systems and I am not talking about the PS1 dreamcast N64 and such. The system I play the most (except if PC were counted) is <drum roll> NES thats right the original. There are many reasons for this. The main one is that newer games (for the most part) worry so much about graphics that they lose the challenge. I still have more problems with some NES games then I do with most X-box or PS2 games. Sure there it is fun to play some Dynasty Warriors every now and then and just slaughter everything in your path. But where is the challenge. As far as storyline goes in games I would have to say go to Dragib Warrior 4. or check out the SNES Final Fantasy games (4 5 & 6)

For those of you are not just obsesed with graphics pick up your old system and play some of the games they still rule. Just recently beat Dragon Warrior IV. Currently working on gauntlet.

But PC > NES
sorry but Everquest rules

One thing that I think is weird is the paradox involved with the Gamecube. If you ask most people which of the consoles is the "kiddiest," many (if not most) people would say Gamecube. However, kids tend to shy away from the Gamecube, because they want to look "mature" (which, to them, is anything with blood and sex, anything rated M). Therefore, despite its reputation and Nintendo's continued attempts to change it, it seems that the majority of the people who play it are older people that played the classic series on the NES and SNES. Weird, eh?

All the systems have their great games, which makes it hard to choose... lol maybe they should all work in a combined effort to port system-specific games to other systems. Oh well, My brother has an XBox and I have a GCN. Xbox has some really good games - Halo, Splinter Cell(now coming for GCN). But the gamecube has some good games too like the new Zelda (I still need to get that aghhh) and Metroid Prime, Super Smash Bros. Melee is a classic.
If you have the money, it'd be a good to buy possibly 2 of the 3 systems. Don't forget PS2 - it rocks
