Hey!
I'm getting a Game Cube for christmas from my parents but they haven't got me any games for it because they didn't know what I wanted and because it came with 2 games. I'm hoping to get some money for christmas and I wondered what games you would reccomend. I'm not very good at the chasing games and the shooting games but I would like to try maybe one or two. I was thinking of True Crime: Streets of LA, Pikmin, Simpsons Hit and Run and Turok Evolution. What do you think? I will never really use 2 player so that doesn't matter and I want some games that will keep me busy for some time but not too hard that I won't be able to finish it without my brother's (who is a game expert) help. Any ideas?

I don't think Need for Speed is worth it, no. If you've got your heart set on a fast racer, get F-Zero GX or Burnout 2: Point of Impact instead.

eBay is free to join, but a credit card is required as proof that you are over 18. When I signed up, I think a payed for e-mail address was valid too (if you didn't want to use your card), but I'm not sure if they've still got that going.
Listing an item will cost you money, but this is only around 20p. eBay will charge your credit card monthly for this. It's optional to use your credit card for buying/selling (it's much easier), so you can always send/receive cheques.
This should all be in the site's help section.

Here is a good variation of good games:
Metroid Prime
Super Mario Sunshine
Zelda: The Wind Waker
Mario Kart: Double Dash
F-Zero GX
Viewtiful Joe
My Best Suggestions:
Mario Kart : Double Dash:
Lots of unlockables, tons of fun. 16 tracks to choose from plus the all cup tour.
A big variety of karts and character selection.
Metroid Prime: CHallenging game, awesome graphics....and well the best game IMO:D

If you want a long game, then Metriod Prime, Super Mario Sunshine, Super smash bros. Melee or Skies of Arcadia legends, (although that is an aquired taste.) will do perectly. Also, if you ever want to play multi player, Smash bros. is great.
If you're into scary games, than Resi Evil, or Eternal Darkness are good. They are actually frightening, so be careful.
Sports games: Not many actually, but Mario Golf, and Mario Tennis are coming out next year. The NBA series are fairly enjoyable, especially Street.
Star Wars rogue lear 3: Rebel strike is lots of fun, but I don't think that it'll keep you occupied for a long time, unless you're wanting to complete it 100%.
Personally, I don't like Pikmin, but if you want a game like that, just wait for Pikmin II. Not sure when it comes out.

For under 10 quid Turok Evolition is worth it. It's a good, solid and enjoyable blaster. There are some bugs and you may have to consult an online walkthrough every-so-often.
At a knockdown price it's good fun though.

Pikmin's actually pretty good (and worth it for it's current price tag), but True Crime and Turok Evolution are poor. The critics are calling Hit & Run about average but it's been received quite well by the people on this site. You might want to look into it.
Personally, I'd recommend the astounding Metroid Prime. Then there's The Wind Waker, which is really good, and Mario Sunshine - which is as good a platformer as you'd get on any console. That lot should keep you going for a while :D
