THE GOOD: Tiny, nearly portable; less expensive than competing systems. THE BAD: No DVD or audio CD support; few online titles. THE BOTTOM LINE: The most affordable of the current game systems, the Nintendo GameCube offers great graphics and good performance but few extras.

I picked up the first DK game, along with an... Read the full review →

The Gamcube was an excellent console with loads of fantastic games. The control was easy to use and felt great in your hand.
