Super Mario Strikers and Kirby Air Ride.

Super mario strikers is MUCH better than the wii verision because the stages are smaller and you aren't interupted by thwomps and such. The best mario sport title by far.

Kirby air ride is amazing fun. The 3 modes make for endless replayability. Race mode, mini race mode and City Trial.

They seriously need to make a sequel to that game with more cities plus the original city (similar to how Smash Bros. and Mario Kart take their previous game stages). The only mode I really like is City Trial and I know that if a sequel came out involving it more, my friends and I would probably all go out and buy it.

I'm still playing Metroid Prime... ...but there are a lot of other ones I want to start! But I must not, until Prime is done! Wanna get into Viewtiful Joe and Alien Hominid especially.

There's nothing mad about that! And I see you have an avatar of my favourite character in the game, my dear Nephie!

My god, I know. One of the best games ever. My fav is City Trial too. I just wish the city was bigger (not adding more cities, but rather make a much larger city.) and have a few mini games that had something to do with walking, because there is no reason for walking in that game other than when you get blown up which only happens in the City.

I want to play Eternal Darkness again when I get the time... and finish it this time around.

At the moment I'm playing Second Sight although not regularly enough. It's another game I'm trying to finish before I move on. It's fun being able to throw people around like ragdolls with psycic powers but the stealth bits are a real pain!

I've been playing Mega Man X: Command Mission, Soul Calibur II, Sonic Mega Collection, and SSB Melee (trying to unlock the rest of those trophies). I've also been meaning to get back to Metroid Prime 2 (barely made any progress in that one), and Ocarina of Time Master Quest.

None, but I'm going to start on Path Of Radiance soon.

That is one of the 3 best Gamecube games, right up there with Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 4.

Im playing Smash Bros Melee, but not having a memory card kinda takes the fun away a bit. Havent played any other Smash Bros game and im really enjoying it so far. Lots of familiar characters and just tons of fun to play.

Although I'm not really playing it at the moment due to the arrival of my new SNES and my continued efforts to finish Tingle and Fallout 3, Second Sight is a gamecube game I'm trying to beat for the second time after giving up the first time.

Viewtiful Joe.

I only got to the second mission. I've been too busy with school and the crapload of Playstation games I bought a couple weeks back to make much progress in it.

I have Viewtiful Joe! I probably had it for two months but never played it. I got VJ2 for Christmas, I've played it...once.

I'm not playing any at the moment, but I'm probably going to start F-Zero GX sometime soon because I just got it and kind of want to test it out. I was never a fan of the SNES one, but the rave reviews of this one made it impossible to resist for $10.

You missed out on maybe the best Gamecube racing game.

I've unlocked everything and it was bitter tension to beat the story and arcade mode on hard but it was worth it.

The presentation is great, I love how everyone of the 40 drivers has his own music theme and fmv movie.

I'm racing back through it and really enjoyed it. I love the episodic content and the varied cast of characters. Played it for 3 hours last night and it pulled me back in this afternoon to do Maximillian's chapter where he ends up in an asylum.

This time I'm determined to finish it after getting waylayed many years ago when quite far into it. I'm doing the 'Blue' path this time after taking the 'red' last time.

Had one rather strange sanity effect though. My character blew up while fighting this giant demon. Then the game did the "TV loses power" sanity effect. When it came back I could control the demon while still being able to taget its body parts. I think this was the game going insane as the sanity effect never ended and I had to reload my save!

F Zero GX, heared that there is a storyline in it, and who doesnt want that in a racing game that is also made by Nintendo ? ! I have played this game before years ago but only for a short period at a friend.
It surprises me that almost no one has it on a favorites list in the GC section (if you look at most critics that are very pleased about it on internet). Well I will get to it after I've finished it some time.

ah .. now this post has come to life again, I just post the game I'm currently
playing on the GC. A few weeks ago, I had the urge to play Sphinx again. So
that's the game I've got in my GC. Before that I played Metroid Prime again
and a few GameBoy games.

Back to Sphinx ... it is still a great game to play

Finished Resident evil the other day, what a game now its tied in top place for my fave Resi evil with Resi 4.

The atmosphere, the graphics, the story/plot, etc love it all!

They added so much to the original game too its one of the best remakes I've played.

Like some of you here, I never had a Gamecube. In fact I never knew it existed whan it was released. I'm not currently playing any of my small discs now because I'm playing Twilight Princess (originally going to be released for the cube but rewritten for the Wii), but I was playing a lot of Super Mario Sunshine, which I found a little bit harder than the other 2 Mario 3D games.
