If you like RPGs, than "Tales of Symphonia" and "Skies of Arcadia" are the games for you!

Eternal Darkness is one of my favorite games of all time, if you are even slightest into horror/survival-games, you definitely should put this on your list.

Not to forget Metroid Prime, great controls(IMO), great atmosphere and challenging boss-fights. But since the trilogy is out for the Wii, i wouldn't necessarily buy it for the GC.

Firstly, congrats and have fun!

Obvious games: Resident Evil 4 (3rd person shooter), Metroid Prime (1st person shooter), Wind Waker (action/adventure).
Less obvious but just as good: Ikaruga (SHUMP), Viewtiful Joe (action), Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door (RPG), Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (RPG).

Amazon.co.uk *should* be ok for most of those.

My suggestions and personal favorites of mine are Resident Evil 4 (of course), Eternal Darkness, Zelda Wind Waker, F-Zero GX (it's a MUST for any GameCube list), Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, Metroid Prime 1 & 2, Pikmin 2 (it has a LOT more things than the first game and it's way longer and harder), Paper Mario Thousand Year Door and SoulCalibur 2.

If you have any or all of these games, consider your GameCube list as complete.

Hey all!

Now i should be getting my old Gamecube back off my auntie sometime this week, i was hoping for any game Suggestions.

I have Starwars Rogue Squadron and i think i have Pokemon Colosseum. hopefully i'll be able to find the other Pokemon game for it as well.

I like Shooters and RPG's (with decent customization although that is optional :p ) mostly, but i am open to try new games if they are good :p like Pikmin and so on.

Care to help a guy out? Because i don't want to waste my money on a game i will not like :p

And before anyone else mentions Gamestop, I'm British :p
LotR: Return of the King
I personally liked Golden Eye Rouge Agent
You don't get Prince of Persia I may hit you
umm...Tales of Symphonia. Paper Mario thousand year door. Metal of Honor Frontline. Call of Duty 1. All I got for right now

Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door was my most favorite game cube game. You should try it out, it's basically a Mario with a turn based combat system.

Oh my days I literally cannot believe no one has mention Beyond Good and Evil at this point! especially considering how much of a cult following it has on this site (and yes, I include myself in that following).

Other than that, mainly stuff that has been mention, Eternal Darkness, Tales of Symphonia, Killer 7, and Skies of Arcadia are all fantastic games.
.
Shame on you people before me not saying Beyond Good and Evil

aplty the first response.

Even if you have played the PS2 version, the GC version... DO IT NAO!

Super Mario Sunshine
Eternal Darkness
Resident Evil (remake)
Star Fox Adventures
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II
Super Monkey ball

LotR: Two Towers
SoulCalibur II
Viewtiful Joe
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3

.Zelda: Twilight princess <---------This one ESPECIALLY!

I also suggest if your TV is compatible you get some Component Cables (the Red-Green-Blue cables) as they REALLY improve the visual quality, especially with the likes of Twilight Princess. GC unlike competing consoles had very good anti-aliasing and other sharpening effects in games, Component will let you play them at 480p.

No it doesn't (Red Green and Blue port), i had that problem with my 360 until i bought a HDMI cable, i have an adapter, but for some reason, my TV hates it =\

Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker or Twilight Princess. Maybe the "Collectors' Edition" too if you can find it.
What's different about the collectors edition?

Im intrigued :p

The Collectors' Edition has a bunch of older Zelda games- Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, etc...

Doubt it's been said yet, Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. (hardly rolls off the tongue, I know, hence the not being said bit) The lightsaber fights were usually more fun than most anything Force Unleashed had to offer, I think. Maybe give it a rent, (Don't know if that's possible, sorry) varying perspectives and all that.
