Resident Evil is the best game on the system, imo.

Lego Star Wars! Great game.

Eternal Darkness, Mario Baseball (really fun and underrated baseball game), Paper Mario 2, Pikmin 2, Fire Emblem, (and I know its been said repeatedly...) Resident Evil 4

I wouldn't bother with Zelda: Wind Waker. It just isn't nearly as compelling or polished as the other Zelda titles. If you want to play Zelda go for the Gamecube version of Ocarina of Time.

Re: Getting a Gamecube, what games should I get?

Thanks guys for all the recommendations. I'm definitely picking up Metroid, Resident Evil, and a couple of the others mentioned. The good news is most all of them are cheap (19.99 and under) I'm also considering forgoing a couple of games and getting a wavebird, since they seem to get pretty good reviews most everywhere I've read.

Get a Wavebird, best wireless controller on the market.

If you like Rpgs I'm going to go on ahead and toss out Tales of Symphonia. Very fun game, especially if you can get 3 of your friends to join in with you.

If he likes RPGs he should also play, Skies of Arcadia Legends and, to a lesser extent, Baiten Kaitos...and with that every RPG for the GC that isn't terrible has been mentioned in this thread.

Only thing I hate about the "Gamecube" is that it's impossible to find component cables and on ebay, prices are insane. Check this out:

$81.00 for this auction:
