    Viewtiful Joe 1+2
    Paper Mario
    Starfox Assault (get it cheap if you can, because you'll finish it quickly)
    Prince of Persia (Sands of Time and Warrior Within)
    Killer 7 (might not be to everyones taste)

    whats paper mario like? might get it, i aint got any mario games ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,707 ✭✭✭skywalker


    For me its all about the monkey ball series. Amazing fun with a few friends (& optionally a few beers) in either the main game, or monkey flight mode.

    Mario Kart is worth a look as always.

    Nothing beats Resident Evil 4 on the GC. Metroid Prime 1+2 do come close. F-zero GX is one of the best racing games ever. Best multiplayer games would be Super Smash Brothers Melee and Mario Kart DD.

    twin snakes or monkeyball 2

    Resident Evil 4, Timesplitters 2, Twin Snakes and Paper Mario 2 (albeit without replay value for me)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,566 ✭✭✭GrumPy


    Could any Gamecube heads compile a top 10 list of must have's? trying to get the collection sorted out before the next gen! ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    Retr0 will have a definitive list but this is mine from whats freely available...

    Legend of Zelda Wind Waker
    Resident Evil 4
    Resident Evil 1
    Paper Mario 2
    MGS: Twin Snakes
    Any Monkey Ball game
    Timesplitters 2

    ...thats all i can think of at the moment, my Gamecube is in someone elses house :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    My list of favourite GC games... Includes Metroid and Zelda, but it wouldn't be a GC list without them :p

    Metroid Prime
    Super Smash Bros Melee
    The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
    Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 (1 is better single player, 2 is better multiplayer)
    F-Zero GX
    Resident Evil 4
    Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
    TimeSplitters 2
    Mario Kart: Double Dash
    Burnout 2
    Viewtiful Joe (haven't played 2)
    Beyond Good and Evil
    Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

    (and if you like RPGs... I don't... but Tales of Symphonia, Paper Mario, Skies of Arcadia and Baten Kaitos.)

    Wasn't too fond of Eternal darkness either. Great story, music and atmosphere but playing it just felt a wrong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,115 ✭✭✭Takeshi_Kovacs


    best game would have to be Resident Evil 4, in fact it is the best game out of all consoles this generation... although it would be second best if the new Zelda was out before Christmas, ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    Metroid Prime
    Resident Evil 4
    Metroid Prime 2
    Paper Mario
    Legend of Zelda: WW
    Resident evil
    Legend of Zelda: four swords
    Super smash bros melee
    Super Mario Sunshine
    F Zero GX
    Super monkey ball

    Here's another vote for Eternal Darkness. It's no killer app, but it's definitely a good game, with some innovative freakiness.

    Anything else I'd recommend has been mentioned previously.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,199 ✭✭✭Jimi-Spandex


    My advice:
    AAA

    Windwaker
    Metroid Prime
    Resident Evil 4
    Viewtiful Joe
    Wario Ware Inc
    Monkey Ball 1/2
    Eternal Darkness
    Freedom Fighters
    Mario Kart: DD
    F-Zero

    Nothing that hasn't been mentioned before really

    My favourite cube games would probably be

    Pikmin
    Metroid Prime
    Eternal Darkness
    Beyond Good and Evil

    Last but certainely not least would be Animal Crossing, the only game I've got that's kept me playing pretty regularly for well over a year, I don't know why writing rude letters to squirrels is so much fun......


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Jedi Knight 2
    Gotcha Force
    Resident Evil Remake
    Rogue Squadron III

    I concur, wiseman.

    I nearly freaked when it said it was deleting my savegames.

    Yeah, quality moment :D I loved those kooky 'insanity' effects (after a few views, mind - the first time you see them it's fecking heart-in-mouth time, especially the aforementioned save game deletion / reset type ones :eek: )

    The whole runes thing was class as well IMO.
    Also, it just occured to me that Eternal Darkness could make quite an interesting movie (I hope to Christ Uwe Boll doesn't read Boards...)

    Do it... memorable game, not much replay value though... but worth it for the battles and Ms. Meowz

    Twin Snakes, Super Monkey Ball or Sonic Mega Collection
