thanks fortunz. i'll go to that site you recommended and check them out. i have seen a couple of those games you mentioned, but i don't want to shell out 50 bucks for a game i won't like, for any system.
brawl looks like it is doing pretty good, ratings and sales wise, so i might give a check. i got it on the 64, and wasn't to impressed with it, so i never tried it for the gamecube.

if you haven't tried soul calibur, i would recommend it for a rent. i wouldn't have bought it, but it was a gift, and it is pretty entertaining, at least in small doses.
