Not really having the money to spend on a current gen console or fancy pants PC games (which I doubt my shitty laptop could support anyway), I find myself sifting through online auctions in search of decent games for my GameCube, since they have a tendency of being dirt cheap.

Having grown rather bored of what little games I have for my laptop, I'm trying to expand my slim library of GC games. The ones I have are as follow:

Tales of Symphonia
SoulCalibur 2
Super Smash Bros. Melee
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (limited edition with Ocarina of Time and Master Quest)
Baten Kaitos
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
X-men Legends
X-men Next Dimension
Mario Kart: Double Dash
And, thanks to my sister, Harry Potter 1-4 (they are terrible, just as you might think)

Does anyone have any tips on good, or even halfway decent, games for the GC?

Metroid Prime

It's a great platformer/adventure/FPS game. My favorite Metroid game to date. I'd definitely recommend picking it up.

You are missing Resident Evil 4.

And this. That's also another great game on the GC.

Eternal Darkness is a must have. That game is brilliant. Also Timesplitters 1 and 3 and Metroid Prime 1 and 2. Pikmin is awesome too.

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requim. It's a very unique and very scary game, perhaps my favourite GC game.

All of them
Or you are not worthy of an GameCube
Damn, beaten to it! Totally agree, Metroid = best GC game in my opinion.

Metroid Prime was one of, if not the, best console games last generation. I also loved Super Mario Sunshine, which I think gets bashed rather unfairly.

Luigi's Mansion
Super Mario Sunshine
Metroid Prime (the first more than the second, though...)
Pikmin
Pikmin 2
The Simpsons: Hit and Run
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life (I think that's the GC one)
Animal Crossing
EDIT: Starfox Adventures and Twilight Princess

More when I think of them.

Mr. Rockellman, on da job!

OT: My library is pretty small too, but I'd definitely recommend Metroid Prime and Luigi's Mansion. Also, I've never played it myself, but I've heard good things about Pikmin. Can anybody confirm it's worth?

I highly recommend getting Zelda: Twilight Princess. It's much better on the GC than the Wii. Also, you may want to try Super Mario Sunshine.
