I've been tempted to buy a Gamecube on Ebay as they're so cheap, but am a little unsure as to how much use I'd get out of it. I have an Xbox and a Dreamcast already, so I'd only want to get a Gamecube if the Gamecube-exclusive games were really worth it.

So, which games would be worth getting that are not already on one of the above consoles, and are there more good ones coming out in the future?

I've looked at some Gamecube-related sites but they all seem to be very biased so I just end up closing my browser. I don't want fanboy advice - I want honest, impartial advice. Some might ask what I'm doing in a Nintendo forum asking for impartial advice, but of course you guys will know more about what I'm asking than anyone else. So, I want to know which *games* will make the purchase a good decision.

Any (non-biased) help would be appreciated!

There isn't a platform remotely close. The Cube has by FAR the widest and most awesome collection of exclusive titles.

Ikaruga
Super Monkey Ball 2
Harvest Moon
Viewtiful Joe

These are the games I have just now, each of them exclusive to the GC. Viewtiful Joe is due out on the PS2 later in the year, but I'm asuming you don't have a PS2?

Zelda: TWW is also worth getting, Pikmin 2 is due out soon, and I personally can't wait for Resi 4.

I should add that I've never owned a Nintendo console in my life. I had a Gameboy once, but not sure if you'd call that a console... but either way you get the idea.

Yes but what are they? Any games that are cross-platform would be purchased for the Xbox, so I'd only be interested in the GC-exclusive ones for the GC. The problem is, I don't know what they are, or even then, which ones are worth bothering with. :oP
