I bought 4 swords adventures on launch. Was super hyped for it. One of my favourite Zeldas, I hope they revisit the idea with the Wii U and 3DS.

Also a fantastic game. After the DS sequel bombed hard its looking like the Custom Robo franchise is never coming back to the west though :(

Had to chime in here, hopefully someone agrees with me.

Smuggler's Run Warzones-Great game and good multiplayer.Missions are fun and tough (later on), simple to pickup with basic objectives and goals.

Monster House (aka Resident Evil for kids)

RPG-I really like strategy card games,but mix that with RPGs!
PSO Episode III C.A.R.D Revolution,Lost Kingdoms I & II,Baten Kaitos Origins & EWLO.

Lemony Snickets A Series of Unfortunate Events- Never even watched the movie but the game was well regarded in my first impressions with it.
Straight up weird game with alot of solid gameplay elements.

Chronicles of Narnia The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe-Another movie game that I havent seen the movie to,yet once again really impressed with what I played.And by no means Im not a fan of the movies so that wouldnt influence my opinion. :?

Goblin Commander,The hobbit,Viewtiful Joe Red Hot Rumble,Disneys Sports Soccer to spit some out..

Wow! I didn't realize so many movie tie-ins were so good. (Monster House is a movie tie-in, too)

The Hobbit's good too, huh? I remember reading about it before it came out and being really excited about it but I never picked it up.

AH! I just want all these now! haha

Hey your right,I didnt realized I picked so many. I only say they are good,not sure if anyone else agrees. :lol:

The Hobbit reminds me of a 3d Zelda game but not as hyped so thats why I like it,and Monster House seemed pretty polished to me I think Im stumped at the moment so havent seen to much of the whole game.Definitely check them out if you want to play stuff no one really dares and enjoy a game from your perspective!

Not an exclusive, but I really liked Star Wars the Clone Wars on the GCN. Not sure if it's overlooked, but I never hear anyone talking about it. Fun, if unbalanced multiplayer is the star (haha) of the show.

My contribution to the thread is Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. Racketboy's article has it listed as an "Also see..." I am currently about half way through Sphinx and it a solid action adventure with a unique setting and premise. The puzzle solving is a little flat, but they try, and some of the monster designs are very original. My biggest gripes would be too few save points and some fugly interface work, probably due to cross porting the game.

Also, I'm going to be a wet rag and say that I wasn't a big fan of Metal Arms. I also tried Jungle Beat without the bongo controller, and it's a disaster.

And though the racing game Auto Modellista has a number of issues, the widest criticized issue (slippery handling) is easily mitigated through tuning and careful control. If you are a racer fan and can put up with the smaller scope of tracks and cars (plus some oddly bad interface localization), this is a worthy title.

Indeed, though, why would they put an 'N' at the end of GC? I mean, why don't we just arbitrarily put an 'X' on the end of PS when we talk about the original PlayStation?

Oh, right. We do that.
Because it's not arbitrary.
