    What about Crystal Chronicals? Or was that such a bad choice I should go and commit suicide in a dark corner? lol

    Crystal Chronicles is mostly a multiplayer game, but can also be played in single mode, though.

    Other than that:

    - The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
    - The legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
    - Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes (if you for some reason don't have the original)
    - Super Mario: Sunshine


    .. There are more, but those were the ones I felt like posting :P

    No one is saying that you should go out and buy them, they are merely suggestions. They are all good games, though.

    Tales of Symphonia and Eternal Darkness. They're the only reason I'm glad I bought a Gamecube.

    If he had a Wii, he wouldn't be buying a Game Cube. :P

    Baten Kaitos, Chibi Robo, Zelda TP (not very different from the Wii version anyway, and Link gets to remain left-handed), Resident Evil 4... the Cube actually had lots of good games and better graphics than I expected.

    There's a great deal of games that can be recommended for the GameCube, but there's no point wasting your money on them: Melee is all you'll want to play, trust me. Best goddamned game on that machine.

    I disagree! There are pleanty of seemingly good titles on the Gamecube. Definitely get Wind Waker (try to get limited edition, that way you get Ocarina of Time / Master Quest) though.

    I'd say get TP, but to be honest, it seems a lot more fun with a Wiimote than GCN controller.

    Usually you can find some awesome deals of Gamecube packages with heaps of games and a couple controllers on eBay. At least, I've seen quite a few -- I might consider bidding on one just for the games.

    You should also definitely check Resident Evil and Resident Evil 0.
    Don't buy RE4 for GC if you have a PS2 though.
