Hump Day Video: The Definitive 50

Late last month EB Games announced that come April 9th, they will no longer be taking Gamecube games for trade-in.  This announcement has sparked an interest in me to search all local EB Games stores for any of the few Gamecube games I am still looking for (Pikmin 1 & 2, Skies of Acadia Legends and Wario World).  I have searched Cambridge and Kitchener to no avail, but there is still hope some people will trade in their Gamecube games before the deadline.  With all my searches for old Gamecube games, I stumbled upon a great Youtube channel called The Definitive 50.

The Definitive 50 is a Youtube series hosted by Newbs from Splodinator.com that countdowns the top 50 games of a certain console.  The first season was the Definitive 50 Super NES games.  The current season is the Definitive 50 Gamecube games.  Each episode is around two to three minutes in length and has host Newbs explaining each games significance as one of the top games of its console generation.  The short episodes make it easy Youtube show to watch in small chucks and the informative nature of the show makes it a great watch for older gamers and younger gamers just starting out.  If you have any interest in classic games, check the Definitive 50 out.  It might just introduce you to an old Gamecube or SNES that may interest you or remind you a classic game that you forgot about.

The Definitive 50 Gamecube games is still in progress.  Number 21 on the Definitive 50 should be up in the coming days.  Below is Number 22 on the Definitive 50 Gamecube games, Beyond Good & Evil.  If you enjoy this episode, make sure to subscribe to the channel and watch all the other episodes.
