yeah, its pretty sad, I was in a Gamestop the other day and their xbox section or I should say what was left of it was all buy 2 get 2 free and most of the tiltes were less then 10 bucks. There was almost nothing of any notable value left in there except perhaps Dead or Alive 1? All the gold is probably long gone. So you could get yourself like 4 games for 15 bucks. i doubt any of them would be any good though. The only two xbox titles I'd like to have and play someday are "Panzaar Dragoon Orta" and "Gun Valkyrie" both Sega titles, both early in the systems life cycle and both becoming increasingly hard to get your hands on. Either way I can't believe they still want 50 dollars for an xbox where as a gamecube is only 30 bucks. The game selection is so much better and the titles are a lot funner to play and will last you awhile. I'd say anyway going out to buy an old gaming system at Gamestop the gamecube is the clear winner in terms of value for your money. PS2 is also still a good choice seeing as how games are actually still coming out for it, its more expensive then gamecube but it's got a great selection of titles.

the grand retunr of the Metroid Series which was temporarily reborn as Metroid Prime and easily pwned every single bit of value the Halo games had.

I really don't understand how anyone can go and compare the Metroid Prime series with Halo. I really don't. The two games aren't even close to identical. The only similarities is that it's a First Person based game, but even then Metroid Prime wasn't about shooting stuff at all. That's not what made Metroid, well, Metroid. :/

But then again both take place in alien worlds and both have main characters who spend most of their lives in some kind of armor. See where I'm going with this?

Halo and Metroid are almost nothing like each other, and I don't understand why people keep drawing connections. How many other heroes have we seen that wear suits of armor? And if we're going to talk about alien worlds, heck, most Bomberman planets feature multiple planets. Faceless heroes, aliens and space travel are just three separate story elements that have been combined in both Halo and Metroid. Not a big deal, honestly.

I loved all the 64 games equally, as well as Story DS. But I really loved Hero cuz I liked being able to just randomly throw bombs all over the place and not have to wait for the fuse to go off. And I loved how you could still lay bombs for classic-style gameplay (where there were ground-based enemies, that is).

I also focus on one-player mode since I have no one in my family who likes these games as much as I do. Also, Second Attack's multiplayer felt really weak.
