[quote name='praxus07']OK, so I have a perfectly good Gamecube sitting here for a while now, but no games, and no memory card.
What games are simply must haves for this system? Avoid mentioning anything Zelda or Metroid. I played both when the GC first came out and hated them.
I was thinking of starting on the Resident Evil series, with RE:0, and maybe trying out the Star Wars games, but is there anything else worth searching out?[/QUOTE]
Hmmm -- no Zelda or Metroid? Really, you should try those again
I agree w/ eastshore4 about Eternal Darkness -- good game but it's ugly. It wasn't a pretty game when it came out, either, and now it looks like a slightly better N64 game. I'd pass on it.
If you never played Metal Gear Solid for he PSOne, then check out Twin Snakes. If you've already played MGS, then Twin Snakes may bore you to tears (since the extended cutscenes are really where it's at).
You can't go wrong with either RE1 or RE0 -- both are still amazing experiences.
I'd also try out Star Wars Rogue Leader 2 or 3. 3 actually has some of the old arcade games -- the ground missions are terrible, though. Really shows why Factor 5 could never get it right with Lair, either. Still, minus KOTOR and Unleashed 2, these probably are the best Star Wars games around.
I'd check out Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 if you never played them on the PS2. Also, Wario World is an excellent stomp and romp game. As for a sports title, check out Beach Spikers by AM2 -- IMHO, the best women's beach volleyball game made to date.
