Shacknews Holiday Game Guide

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the shopping-made-easier dept.

rosewood writes "Shacknews' Jason Bergman, aka loonyboi has his 'Holiday Buying Guide 2002' up and ready to read. PC, Gamecube, PS2, Xbox, and Gameboy Advance and over 70 games are covered! You can also look up how other games have rated each game at Shackreviews." Not every game is touched on in-depth, but it's a great resource to narrow down the choices for that special gamer in your life.

    Check out Game Rankings for some overviews of scores only. This can help weed out the trash on each system, and highlight some great buys.

    I'm a Nintendo fan myself so here are some resoucres I have found helpful:

    Planet Gamecube - Great news, reviews, and info
    IGN Cube - lots of Insider-only material, but decent reviews.
    N-Sider - They update very infrequently, but their reviews and editorials are insightful and some of the best I have seen.

    My own GC picks (in no order):

    Metroid Prime
    Timesplitters 2
    Super Mario Sunshine (you should have this already!)
    Super Smash Brothers: Melee (same here)
    Super Monkey Ball 2
    Eternal Darkness (although it was released a while ago)
    Pikmin (this one as well)
    Animal Crossing
    Sonic Mega Collection

    But if you don't have one yet, buy a Gamboy Advance! It has many, many excellent titles, and is portable!

    And Diablo II doesn't run under OS-X

    Actually it does. For Starcraft and Diablo II there are patches that upgrade the original MacOS version to MacOS X. Warcraft III shipped with MacOS X support.
