"Hardcore" Gamecube Games

[slowslow325]

Could someone quickly compile a list of some "Hardcore" Gamecube games (i.e. Resident Evil, Metroid Prime, Timesplitters). I feel that I should get some more "Hardcore" games in my collection and since the Gamecube is the newest system I have, I'm going to start with that.

EDIT: If you could, could you include the rating (E,T,M) for these games. If you can't, don't worry about it.

When I hear new Gamecube collections, "Eternal Darkness" is a must IMO..... my favorite game on the system. "Battalion Wars", while not hardcore per say, is a great strategy/action hybrid in the same zipcode as "General Chaos" on the Genny. You may want to look into "Killer 7" and "Geist" as well.

Ikaruga
Chaos Field
Beyond Good & Evil
Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes
Fire Emblem
Tales of Symphonia
Eternal Darkness
Cubivore
Pikmin 1 & 2
Resident Evil 0 - 3 & Code V
Baten Kaitos
Baldur's Gate
F-Zero GX
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat

I'd highly recommend each and every one of those. The Gamecube has a lot of great titles other than those too, especially if you dont stick to silly "hardcore" games.

Resident Evil 4 is an obvious one. P.N.03 is a game that sometimes has polarizing opinions.

Hardcore is a pretty ambiguous term. Personally I'd call Odama a hardcore game as it's certainly not a mainstream game.

Are you saying hardcore as difficult to complete or hardcore as "mature?"

I ask because certain titles like Cubivore and Odama, are not mature persey, but they are among the hardest of games released last generation.

Viewtiful Joe of course.

Mature but not necessarily rated M.

Sorry for double post...

I think "hardcore" games are silly too. What I'm trying to say is I own the cartoonish "Childish" actually fun games, but kinda want to get into something darker and more sinister (more matureish)

I second that. Also, the sequel!
