Welcome
to Cubed Gaming. Here I have a collection of quick reviews for
various GameCube and GameBoy/Color/Advance games. Don't expect anything
in-depth, these are just quick overviews of the games and how I feel
they measure
up.
I have real issues seeing the games via the actual GameBoy Advance
unit, so rather than kill my eyes trying to see them on that terrible,
little screen I've opted to just get a GameBoy Player for the GC.
"Why not get a SP?" Well, I'd rather see these games on
a bigger screen, and plus the GB Player is cheaper than the SP any
way...
Here's a few things you should know before we start:
* All games are reviewed via my Platinum Edition GameCube unit with the
GameBoy Player attached.
* Please note that some GameBoy games do not exactly look great when
blown up to a bigger screen, and that the notes on the graphics and such
are
only
based on their performance via the GB Player.
*
All games are played on my 27" Panasonic-Panablack TV via S-Video
and full stereo connections. Sound is
coming
out of my two Bose, Model 21 Speakers and Kenwood subwoofer.
* An emulator is used solely for the express purpose of getting screenshots
for the GameBoy game reviews.
A video capture card is used to get screenshots for the GameCube
game reviews. With that said, the pics are then resized, etc. This
will often times mess
with the
quality
of
the
shots. Remember,
emulation
is
exactly
that;
it's not in the res or way the developers initially intended you to enjoy
the game.
*
For the Generation 2 reviews that feature animated gifs, it's important
to note that they do not accurately portray the game's animation,
speed
or framerate. They are just fun, extra things I like to add to give you
a rough idea of how the game would look in motion on your TV/GB.
* NO game
is reviewed via emulation!
* I own all games that are reviewed.
* I score on a 100 point basis. 100 being perfect(or damn close to it),
0, of course, being the worst.
