the usuals realy.


Have had a great deal of fun with Mario kart double dash, metroid is awsome, Zelda windwalker eats a portion of your life away
and 1080 avalanche is just great fun.

not the best system for FPS though

Monkey Ball 1 & 2 are both top quality games, if a bit frustrating on the expert mode, but multi-player its top fun. Mario Golf is another quality title, even if you don't like golf. And Resident Evil 4 when that comes out will be an essential purchase.

I like harvest moon, don't know what the GC version is like, but the snes version ruled.

Try pikmin as well. Also Metroid Prime.

Pikmin is one of my favourite games ever Every time I play it I find something new that makes me smile. The sequel is already out in Japan and is released in the US next month

Zelda Four Swords has just been released in the US and is great. That's definitely something I'd recommend but I don't know if you like RPGs or not.

FPS games are pretty thinly-spread on the GC. The only ones I can think of that aren't terrible are Metroid Prime, Timesplitters 2 and Serious Sam .

I'd recommend F Zero GX if you like racing games...it's insanely fast, super smooth and is probably one of the most enjoyable games on the system.

The Sonic collection (7 2D Sonic games on one disc) is ok but the 3D Sonic games are terrible...avoid! Avoid! Avoid!
