Games
Super Mario Sunshine
The Gamecubes defining moment so far and an ultimate classic - other 'top selling' games may have violence and gore, but Mario here has imagination, skill and a lot of gameplay and relay value. I had extremely high expectations for this, and the night before it came out was Christmas... I played it for 7 hours that saturday and 7 more the day afte - I still go back to it now, just for kicks.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
When I first looked at this game I detested it - Nintendo doing a Beat - 'em - up? Pffft... Then i lent t from my step - cousin from across the rad and I was in love, playing it for hours on end. It is something to behold - Brilliant power ups, marvelous graphics and a whole lotta fun, especially in multiplayer.
Super Monkey Ball
A typical Japanese idea, cutesy graphics and all based around a Monkey in a Ball rolling around mazes to beat the clock... Sound Crap? Once you've tasted your first Drop of Monkeyness you won't be able to stop for at least a week. With a wealth of 'party games' like Monkey fight, ou'll have fun with your mates and, with Mini games to unlock, you'll still be Playing well into next Christmas.
Luigi's Mansion
Brought out on release day, Luigi's Mansion was considered by many as flop by many, but not me, oh no. I played on it for a whole weekend, and yes, I did complete it in that time, but that is not the point - it kept me engaged for all the time I was playing it, and even went back for some more. Yes, it may be short, but it is sweeter than a tonne of nesquick with condensed milk on, which is better than a long drawn out game, isn't it?
Mario Party 4
The other Mario party games on the N64 may have not been some of the consoles highlights, but this time Mario and c. are going all out for fun with 50 mini games to choose from. You can play with a friend, which is the best option, or simply play alone. I'm getting this Free...
Their are many other games for you to choose from like Die hard Vendetta, Eternal Darkness, Resident evil etc., but seeing as I know very little about all of these, I'll leave it to someone else to advise you about...#

Tribute (c)
Yup the games Tribute mentioned are all great.
Also Try...
Wave Race:Blue Storm- Great fun here, the wtaer effects are amazing, nice music as well. Might not be for everyone but I like it.
Rouge Leader- Classic battles from the original Star Wars movies, plus some new one. If you like Star Wars get it now.

I didn't like Star Wars that much, I found the first mission tedious... And I was crap at it...
