Hey, I've only had my cube a few weeks and I'm off to buy a new game today (Woo). Any suggestions on what I should get. (I have Res Evil 0 and Pikmin).

I was thinking maybe Super Smash Bros?!

Well, depends what game you after. I see you bought Resi Evil and Eternal Darkness, good choices dude. Very good. Metroid is pretty darn amazing, TimeSplitters 2 if you want a FPS. The 1 player is quite lame but good enough to work through, but multiplayer is something fantastic. Rent before you buy :o)

Zelda seams to be very good, although I dont have it yet. I'll probably pick it up later this year. Pikmin for an original strategy game. Splinter Cell is excellent while it lasts, Hitman 2 is superb.

SSBM. Fun, but very repetitive.

Save for the new Mario Kart too :o)

Well, going by average review scores, Metroid Prime and Zelda pretty much ARE the best games on 'Cube. And I'd agree with that too.

On top of those two, you definitely won't go wrong with the excellent Super Smash Bros. Melee - a bargain at £19.99 or less. Skies of Arcadia Legends is an excellent RPG to complement Zelda, and Mario Sunshine is just about the very pinnacle of 3D platforming thus far. I'd also recommend Mario Party 4, Pikmin and Rogue Squadron II - but seeing as their sequels will be out before Christmas, I'd just wait and buy them (you won't be disappointed).

Speaking of Christmas, you'll want to set some cash aside for that - as there's a slew of great titles coming out, including F-Zero GX, Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Metal Gear Solid. Check out my 'What A Line-Up' topic for more on that.

There's also a ton of worthwhile multiformat games available; Burnout 2, Jedi Knight 2 and XGRA being the highlights.

Thats your opinion. I have seen you write it so many times as if it is a fact that Metroid Prime is the best on the Cube. Out of my collection Metroid Prime is by far my weakest title and I didn't even feel the need to complete it as I got incredably bored with all the scanning and lock on system. Still in my collection and I will get around to playing it again.

Zelda I definitley agree with however I would say the Resident Evil remake, Resident Evil Zero, Skies of Arcadia, Eternal Darkness and Mario Sunshine are all titles which are hard to seperate as they are all blockbuster titles. For me however Skies of Arcadia is my favourite title on the Cube and certainly one of the finest games ever created.

Well I ended up getting Eternal Darkness and Res Evil 1 for £14 each. Bargin.

Eternal Darkness from SR cost £35? Surely that's not right.

Cool, Well i've fallen in love with Resident Evil 0 (Never played any of the others), so I might go for Eternal Darkness. I was gonna buy Resident evil 1, but I suppose I should wait until i've finished 0 first (Else I blatently won't :P)

Thanks.
