I received three Gamecube items for Christmas, NCAA Football 2003, FIFA 2003, and a Nintendo Wavebird controller.<\/p>\n

NCAA Football 2003<\/b> – Awesome, college atmosphere permeates the game, tried and true Madden-like engine, with the addition of the option play (makes all the difference for me). Once I get a memory card, I will begin my dynasty!<\/p>\n

FIFA 2003<\/b> – The best soccer game ever! I never played the 2002 versions, so I can’t comment on the changes in controls, although the new freestyle control hasn’t proved terribly useful yet. The manual doesn’t describe any of the “shapes” you can make and what they might do. Regardless, the graphics and gameplay are awesome, and John Motson’s commentary is excellent again as well.<\/p>\n

Wavebird<\/b> – The Wavebird is a wireless controller from Nintendo, and it rocks. It makes you wonder why all systems haven’t gone to this already. Now I have the cube safely placed in the entertainment center, and there are no cords stretched across the room, nothing for Yeti<\/a> to bite. The controller plays exactly how you’d expect, with the subtraction of the rumble. Not a huge loss, but the rumble is kinda cool. (In FIFA during a penalty shootout it throbs when you have to make a big shot)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
