    • Luigi's Mansion is the best classic Resident Evil game. Phenomenal game... that came out at the wrong time.  When everyone wanted a huge "proper" Super Mario 64 sequel, they instead get an intentionally short n' sweet and highly replayable adventure game.  It was a game that flied completely in the face of industry trends, and that was not by accident.  Nintendo were making a concieted effort, even back as far as 2001, to avoid the current industry trend of chucking more and more gameplay length and production values into their titles; with ballooning budgets and more and more FMVs; as evidenced by the many early GCN era interviews of the day (like this one).  Games like Pikmin also followed the same philosophy, of making shorter games that were designed to be highly replayable. And really, that works completely to Luigi's Mansion's benefit.  It's a very replayable game; that encourages repeat playthroughs where you continue to get better and better ranks.  It's a big part of why I keep coming back to it, and why I enjoyed it much moreso than its 3DS sequel (Though LM3 does manage to top this one). BTW, @Cube, I'm disappointed that you didn't make any mention of the excellent 3DS remake, which makes good on the original GCN version's promise of stereoscopic 3D support! Not even a mention of the GCN's hidden S3D support? Or the S3D screen that was shown at E3 2002 and never made public knowledge until a sudden Iwata Asks 3DS interview 9 whole years later!? This little puppy right here.  Under our noses, the whole time! FOR SHAME CUBE!!!!!!!!!!!
    • GAME sent my Switch order by RM 48 tracked. Arrived 5 days after launch. Will never use them again.
    • Same as @Julius, on the one hand for me they were good when i ordered my PS5.  Ok, it was a brick n mortar store i ordered from, but it was still there for me. And they shipped out a replacement DualSense when my launch model broke during COVID as i couldn't get to a store. On the other, articles on Eurogamer in the past have highlighted their troubles with not fulfilling orders, not getting any Silent Hill orders (or even shipping with missing pre-order bonuses) and getting boxes of Zedeya figures over actual games or just getting 1 new copy of a game in.
    • On the one hand, they got my PS5 to me on launch day. So that was great.  On the other, they advertised Royal Mail tracked delivery the entire pre-order period, before updating a bunch of orders (including my own) to Yodel (of all couriers) closer to release, and after pre-orders had been gone everywhere else for months.  So yeah, chance you'll get it at launch, but more than enough reason to be wary of them in my experience
