What is your favorite Gamecube game?

I've recently been playing Time Splitters 2 a lot. I was hanging out with some of my kid siblings, and they reminded me how we used to play it a lot when they were younger. We spent pretty much the whole weekend playing it, and I was surprised how good it still is.

The Wind waker, Metroid Prime and Soul Calibur II were some of my favourites, though I didn't play Metroid as much as I could have.

I spent many happy hours playing Tales of Symphonia; though recent attempts to play the game have revealed to me that it's actually really bad.

Eternal Darkness is eternally underrated. One of the only horror games I've ever really enjoyed, I think. Also, the first level of Sonic Adventure 2 is good.

It was gorgeous.

Plus, the idea of a multiplayer RPG, where different party members can be controlled by different players during combat, was pretty neat. But the implementation was so fucking bad, with the camera constantly locked on to player. Player 1 had to constantly make sure they were far enough away from the enemies so that the camera would zoom out enough for player 2 to see themselves.

Yeah, I originally got excited about it because it was supposed to be a "back to basics" RPG from what I'd read. (I actually recall gushing about how excited I was in the Spira Online shoutbox. It's one of the very few games in my life that I bought brand new). Due to some futzing with save files, I never actually beat it. But, about 2 years ago, my girlfriend Morrie and I decided we should try playing some games together. So we played that.

We still never finished it though, because of the aforementioned not-goodness.

I think, actually, that my younger siblings ended up playing through the whole thing. So the purchase wasn't a total waste.

I only ever played the remake of Resi 1 on the GC. It didn't hold my interest, though I wouldn't mind taking another crack at it.

I am a stupidly huge fan of the movies. >=D

That's odd, I've only ever heard good things about the GC Resident Evil games.

Oh, another good GC game: Twin Snakes.

I think Twin Snakes is pretty great.

The cutscenes are awful, it's true. But I find early 3D games really difficult to play. So I generally prefer Twin Snakes to the original Metal Gear Solid.
