Just look at that top 5. Man. Granted, mine would have a completely different order but Twilight Princess remains to this day my all time favorite game. Gamecube is definitely under appreciated. It helps that it was the first console I bought with my own hard earned money :P

gotta agree with Uberjoe - where on earth is Timesplitters 2? The majority of the list is solid (although i don't agree with the view on Rogue Leader - X-Wing vs Tie Fighter with the Balance of Power expansion was the ultimate space combat game), but TS2 should be on the list of the top games for every console of that generation

Glad to see Paper Mario TTYD on there along with Wind Waker 2 two of my all time favourites I still replay at least once a year. When Twilight Princess came out for the 'cube I couldn't afford it but later got the Wii version but never finished it as I hate the Wii controls for it.

Obviously, SCII was going to be on this list. Easily one of the greatest games on the GameCube, and a game I still play to this day.

Very good list GamesRadar. I wish stores still sold GameCube games, because I really want to play some of these games I missed on the first time. Especially F-Zero GX.

I love how Nintendo always has the most diverse line ups which is why I have strong hope the Wiiu carry's on the tradition.

But Pikmin 2 was way superior to the original. It had multiplayer, co-op, 3 new types of Pikmin, and there was no limit to the number of days you can play.

Yeah, I mainly said that in regards as something I posted just before this article came out, in the top 25 xbox games article. About someone asking why SCII wasn't in the Xbox's list XD

Glad to see Tales of Symphonia made it to the list, but it be a lot higher than 16! It should at least made 10! That was the best tales game I have ever played and I still play it today! Plus why the hell is timesplitters 2 not on there?! Another game I still play today and it had so much wacky variety! Make a new list! lol

I would have had Resident Evil 0 on here as well, maybe drop Killer 7 or Monkey Ball. I owned all 3 but only enjoyed RE0.

WOAH! HEY! PIKMIN 2! The first one was amazing but in no way can you make the argument that it is better than number 2. I would have put it at least in the top 10!

I was thinking the exact same thing. I was expecting number 2 to be top 10.... easily

Top two for sure, but the rest of the list seems out of order to me. The contents of the list are good though, just not my order.

Great, great top 3 choices. I have exactly the 3 same atop my list of GCN games, only not in that order. But who cares? Everyone should play MP, RE4 and WW. Every single human on this planet.
