Turok: Evolution wasn't very good, but since I did derive a modicum of enjoyment from it, I would have to say Vexx. What a pile o' crap.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance is a game I always mention when posting in the endless "Top Five Games for the GameCube" forums. The difficulty curve is very steady, the dialogue is pretty fleshed-out, and it's just a lot of fun. Games you really, really should get are Metroid Prime (at least the first, preferrably both) F-Zero GX, TimeSplitters 2, Medal of Honor: Frontline, Baten Kaitos (the first one, haven't played the second), Soul Calibur II, and Resident Evil 4. These games are all under $20 used, and some of them are under $10. Super Smash Bros. Melee, while a mainstay in most GameCube collections, is still $27 used, $30 new. I'm not just throwing out names of games I like, these are games that just about anybody will have fun with. So go, buy, and have fun!!

That's a tough one. I own all three of the games you listed, and none of them are my favorite, or close to it. Two Towers is just mindless button-mashing with some cutscenes taken right out of the movie thrown in. If that sounds cool, go for it, it probably has the best quality of production out of the bunch. True Crime had very sloppy controls, particularly when it came to driving and shooting, which kept it from being a solid game. However, the fighting sequences were pretty entertaining to me, and the occasional stealth mission was entertaining, although I don't know why. I really dislike Dead to Rights, the plot alone was enough to turn me off, nevermind the gut-wrenchingly repetitive gameplay (shoot-shoot-shoot-shoot SHOOT. SHOOT! Okay, get ammohcrap SHOOOOT!!!), and I thought the graphics were really questionable. But some of the gameplay elements where you slow down time or take human shields, while not original, may appeal to you. I don't know, it's pretty much pick your poison with these three. I can't really say which one I'd recommend, gonna have to go with your gut. Or save the five bucks. Yeah, that's what I'd do.

You really have to own at least the first Metroid Prime, and it's seriously a shame if you don't own both 1 & 2, but then at least your soul isn't instantly doomed. F-Zero and Killer7 are very strong pick-ups, though I could live without the Viewtiful Joe action. Yeah, good buy on your part.

Since you've already committed blasphemy by knocking Metroid Prime, the only shooters I can think to recommend are TimeSplitters 2 and Medal of Honor: Frontline. Also, Hitman 2 is pretty good. For RPGs, I've only played Tales of Symphonia and Baten Kaitos, and they're both decent/solid. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance isn't technically an RPG, but it is a damn fine game that everyone should at least play, if not own.

Yeah, GameStop's deal is a pretty good one, all things considered. If you're buying a GameCube on eBay, don't buy the console by itself for more than $35 (w/shipping). If it comes with a controller/memory card/game, it's okay to go up to $40-45 (w/shipping). As far as memory cards, try to get one of the white Nintendo-brand ones, they are completely awesome.

Hard to say how long used/refurbished GameCubes and new/used games will be readily available. I know I don't see many copies of Resident Evil 4 or F-Zero GX anymore, and never see anything like Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. So I would say the sooner you get a system, accessories, and games, the better. Games like Soul Calibur II, F-Zero GX, TimeSplitters 2, Metroid Prime, REmake, Resident Evil 0, Hitman 2, Medal of Honor: Frontline, and Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance are all great games that are $6-$13, used. Invest!

YES. It's the best and one of the longest-running Nintendo racing series there is. The graphics are awesome, the racing is tight and severely challenging.. and it's eight bucks used. Buy it before it becomes harder to find, fool!

Auto Modellista? Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance? Baten Kaitos? I'm not sure.

Guilty pleasures as far as video games on the GameCube? I would say.. Auto Modellista, Rainbow Six 3, Spider-Man 2, True Crime: Streets of LA, Turok: Evolution, and XIII.
