Default Re: On this day, 4 years and two days ago...

I bought my Cube 3 days after launch at Toys R Us so technically this would by my 4th anniversary with it.

It is the first and probably last system I buy at launch.

My cube and I have been through some good times and some good games.

First games I got were Rogue Squadron which was ok but not a fan of Star Wars. Luigi's Mansion which was fun but way too short. And Super Monkey Ball probably one of the most underrated franchises ever ( I can't get people to play because of the name).

Soon afterwards I got that game I brought a Cube for.. also the game I beat Daniel at when we met at Cube Club. The game has logged a ton of hours on my cube.

Throughout the four years, my Cube has met with highs and lows.

I was disappointed with the first wrestling game WrestleMania x8, which slowly evolved over the 4 games until Day of Reckoning 2 which is probably one of the best wrestling games.. at least with the WWE license.

I pretty much became MArio central owning Mario Power Tennis, Mario Golf, Mario Kart, Mario Sunshine, Mario Party 4 n 6, Mario Baseball... completing Paper Mario

And it is a huge hit on my campus.. at least for folks who know me. Sure folks have their Halo and Madden.. but you just can't beat Mario Kart or even Mario Party... also Bomberman...

I would list my games.. but eh... after class edit the post

Could not agree more. I'm even going to write a belated review of the game once Christmas is over and I have my school situation in control. Great game, with a deep career mode and the CAW is a great leap forward from the first and matches No Mercy and gets close to VPW2, even if its incomplete when compared to Japanese franchises like Firepro.

If there are any fans of wrestling games out there, and you miss the quality that Asmik and AKI used to produce with the N64, pick up DoR2 today.

I remember watching Dylflon play it most of the way through, but that didn't stop me from playing through myself three times.

I don't think it was underrated but I definitely don't think it was overrated.
