I don't know which game/games I should get
 

I have $65 store credit left... I don't have any games for my cube right now (cept a Zelda reservation) so i decided I will buy one or a couple.

at most I can get three $19.99 games... two $29.99.. and one $49.99 game.... or a $39.99 and $19.99 game :p

I just wanted to hear your suggestions. Right now if I were to buy a single game, my top 5 picks would be:

1. Animal crossing (buy it back)
2. Skies of Arcadia
3. Preorder The Sims
4. Phantasy Star online (even though I will be playing offline multiplayer for the first month)
5. Star Fox Adventures

If I can get 2 or three cheap good games It will be cool too. Please give suggestions.

Give us a list of all the games you've already owned on your cube. Then I'll give suggestions...otherwise I don't know what you have.

Well, in my Cube's past life I have had:

Madden 2003
NCAA 2003
SSX Tricky
NBA Live 2003
Animal Crossing
Mario Sunshine
Smash Brother Melee
WWE WMx8
NBA 2k3
Tony Hawk 3/4
Timesplitters 2
Sonic Adventure 2 battle
Among others I can't think of at this moment...

I think in your suggestions you should deal with non-Ps2 Cube games cause I have (and have had) a LOT of third party games for my Ps2.

-EDIT-

For everybody's info, in Fall 2002 I sold my Cube... then for Xmas my mother purchased me another one. I didn't ask for it, but eh, now I want Celda and Pokemon, so I ain't gonna sell it any time soon.

Eternal Darkness
Super Monkey Ball 2
Pikmin (pikmin 2?)
Skies of Arcadia
Metroid Prime
Animal Crossing....but I'd wait for 2
Aggressive Inline(you probably have it for ps2)

When does AC2 come out? I hope it's bigger towns and it utilizes online trading and the Memory Card 251.

if it were me i'd pick Skies of Arcadia

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Duffman says go with Skies of Arcadia Oh Yeah!

Star Fox Adventures is really good (I'm playing it now finally)

I also suggest

Cubivore (cheapy)
Beach Spikers
Capcom Vs. SNK EO
Mortal Kombat DA (though you probably have that)
Bloody Roar Primal Fury
Soccer Slam

I hear the Gamecube Summoner is really good... haven't played it yet and depending on where your store credit is, you can EB has Hunter the Reckoning for $10, Baluder's Gate Dark Alliance for $20, and Bloodrayne for $20. I think Evolution Skateboarding is the same price too...

I would say PSO. It has been consuming my life as of lately (Well, that and college). Then you could go online and play with me. Then, out of that list, either Skies of Arcadia or Star Fox Adventures. If you really liked AC a lot, then buy it again. I don't know about the sims, never really got my attention. You might want to get Eternal Darkness or Resident Evil 0 too. I think you said you didn't like Metroid Prime so... lets leave the list like that.

I'm still curious how one goes into a store to make a pre-order and end up with 65 bucks worth of store credit? I mean logic would dictate you just pay for your pre-order and ofcourse your PokeMon craze.

As for what games you should get, I really don't know, me and you alway seems to be at odds on games so I think all the games I suggest you should stay away from.

Phantasy Star's a great game with tremendous replay value. Like Nemesis, I've probably played it a million times more than any other game this gen. It will occupy you, and consume your life as you know it. :)

If you don't want to get that involved, but want a deep experience, pick up either Skies of Arcadia or Star Fox. You could get Animal Crossing too, but it's more replay value like PSO. So, there's what you have.

And.. I honestly have no idea how the Sims would turn out.

I wouldnt suggest Star Fox.:Puke:

Buy Metroid!

I took back some older games for your info... and the money I was going to spend on GBA:SP got killed by Zelda and now this new second unknown game I will buy.

Zelda, of course, is payed off now... and Pokemon is reserved, but not paid off yet... if I buy one game the extra change goes to Pokemon.
