Ok, I love almost all genres except sports and racing (with certain exceptions, e.g. F-Zero on my GBA-SP). So no footy games or Gran Turismo types - yeah? Plus I really cannot see the point in FPS's on a non-portable console (unless you can persuade me different). I'd rather play them with a mouse and kb on my Mac or PC any day. So what games should I buy right now for a new GC? I won't have much of a chance to play online, so games like PSO (I've heard it's got a weak SP mode) are likely pointless - right? Plus I'm way behind the times here. Also, would anyone care to comment on Animal Crossing? Is there any point in getting the GC version since I'll likely be getting a NDS eventually? Still, I'm not wasting my money if I do get AC am I? It has a good SP mode if I'm understanding the reviews properly.

I bought the Gamecube primarily for that game alone. I then discovered Eternal Darkness (after being recommended in here), you can get it for as little as £5 over here and it's more then worth the money. Also Mario Kart and Super Monkey Ball 1 or 2. They're good in single player and great in multiplayer. There are some quite good games in the Players Choice range for some very reasonable prices. If you ever change your mind about sports and racing I'd recommend Ace Golf (again around a fiver over here) and Need For Speed Underground (I want to finish the first one before I get the second).

Animal Crossing is a lot of fun - worth getting even if you are going to pickup DS version in September. Other games I would recommend: Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy - great game and way cheap now Zelda Windwaker Prince of Persia unless you already have for another system Beyond Good and Evil Tales of Symphonia Paper Mario Donkey Konga >> Stay informed about: What games should I purchase with a new GC?
