The GameCube has a high average of good games, but before we look at them we will start with a little introduction to the cube itself.

The cube comes with a core that is built by a company called IBM, and the core is what is called a RISC chip.RISC stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computing, and generally means that the computer uses fewer instructions to process the information, that are needed to solve a task.

The Pentium, and most other processors are CISC processors, which stands for Complex Instruction Set Computing, and the processor uses more instructions to complete the task. This is the way it is in most PC, and the first Xbox.

Well, most next generation consoles will use RISC chips, as the processor of their choice.
