[glow=black,2,300]All my life, I've had the Nintendo systems. From the original to the Cube, I believe I've had all of them. (Not including handhelds.)
As far as the GameCube goes, my favorite game, by far, has to be Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. It's just an awesome game, with many references to Egyptian culture. Yes, I know, some may be thinking, "Well duh. Look at the name!" But not all games keep consistent with their theme. So I was pleasantly surprised with everything I found in the game. Sphinx was the great warrior of the game, while the Mummy served for great comedic relief, while still getting his own job done! (BTW, even the Mummy is a Pharoah we all know from ancient Egypt.) Many of the more popular gods were there, wether it was "in person" or just gathering tokens of theirs. As were other mythological characters, events, and things. It was the best game I've played for the Cube yet, and I highly recommend it to everyone I know.[/glow]

Well don't know much about the Cube, don't have one myself i have Ps2 and started playing PC games (THANK YOU TORRENTS! ) In any case, Games ive throughly enjoyed thus far, and they are on the cube too i think. Lego Star Wars 2:Original Trilogy If you havent played LSW 1 yet (episodes 1-3) i recommend it as well. I know i know Lego+star wars sounds pathetic but they are really good games. they finally take a good star wars engine,and plays through the plots of all the movies. Simple to learn tough to master. The cool things are you can play as a variety of charecters in free play,after playing the story mission. Each charecter has its own use,Jedis can use the force,block blaster blasts with the lightsaber, Blaster charecters can use grapple hooks to get high up beyond jumps.Droids (yes droids.playing as feisty R2-D2 is pretty amusing)can open locked doors using a terminal ect. And to complete levels you have to use each charecter as a team kinda like a tag manner, to solve the levels puzzles. Beating the games story is kinda easy but the replayabilty is in free play.To really BEAT the game you find all the hidden goodies and earn a master jedi status upon finding a certain amount of lego studs and other secrets. Which can be pretty hard because you lose studs when you die which can make getting Master Jedi pretty difficult on every level. The charecters are Legoized so they are kinda cutesy and it has pretty funny cutscenes and other sight gags. (like using the Force on a stormtrooper swivels the helmet backwards so he cant see. on one scene when Ben gives Luke his fathers Lightsaber, Luke almost hits Ben with it while igniting it, then swinging it around he chops poor C-3PO's head off XD) So thats pretty fun. Next two ive been on are my two favorite Deadly Ladies. Bloodrayne Lara Croft Bloodrayne 2: have had this for a while making a another run through it. Cuz Raynes so hot (yeah i'm sad ) but also because its a great action game. So much better than the first, she controls more fluidly and i really enjoy the combat system and the matrix like focus mode.makes for some really nice looking movie like fight scenes. Tomb Raider :Legend: Oh my this game is beautiful. Lara has never looked better. And finally she controls like an action game usually should. More fluid,faster and user freindly. I can't tell you how many times i cursed at the fucking controller playing Tomb Raider games because i hopped off a ledge to my death or JUST missed a jump because of a takeoff at a dodgy angle. Nope here she moves like she should as most action games,tilt the analog to walk, hold to run instead of tap 3 times to turn and run crooked ,Action commands are responsive.its fun to control. Great job Eidos, how many tomb raider games did it take to finally dump the shoddy controls? anyway its about time, this is really enjoyable for me.The visuals are gorgeous (aside from Lara and her digital assets herself ) The scenery itself is pretty breathtaking. Lighting effects are great. And like Rayne, she has an occasional little humerous banter to give you a little chuckle
