Recommend me some Gamecube games

Hey there guys. I've had my Gamecube for a couple of months now and so far I own Zelda: WW and Super Monkey Ball 2, both of which are great fun. I'm looking to buy a few more games in the next couple of weeks therefore any game recommendations would be appreciated.

Kortnevensky's List of Reccomended Games

Top List of Video Games for the Gamecube:
1. F-Zero GX: Like the saying "If you want to be a lumberjack, better go to the forest." same applies here. You are a F-zero player, better go get another F-Zero game. 2. Metroid Prime: Very good game, compared to what other games I seen. 3. XGRA: This soon to be released game is the fourth in the Extreme G series, which is to be released in the USA shortly. This game is made in UK to begin with. (Acclaim Cheltenham) 4. Mario Party 4: This is an okay game, but it loses replay value fast, that is, unless you have quite a few game happy friends. 5. Mega Man Transmission: This requires some of the MMBN games for the Game Boy Advance, but is worth the investment. more to come later: Kortnevensky Everett Jackson

Metroid Prime is an amazing game! Although I'm a great Zelda fan I actually think prime is better than Zelda: WW. I have sonic mega collection too, wich is quite cool 
Games I would like to get are...
Eternal Darkness. This game seems really awesome. Some people even go so far as holding it as the best Gamecube game yet. Graphics are soso but its hella promising beside that.
Star Wars: Rogue Leader seems really good! A bit on the short but several difficulties and medal earning make it highly replayable from what I've gathered. Beautiful graphics 
If you want a game really challenging and want to fight long and hard for high scores, Ikaruga looks really hot.
Timesplitters 2 is a FPS by the makers of Goldeneye for the N64. No closer explanation needed

Tell us what type of games you like. Most people say Metroid Prime is the best Cube game, but it bored me to tears (so did TS2). I don't like FPS you see. 
Games I did enjoy (other than the two Zeldas) are; Tiger Woods, Super Mario Sunshine, Eternal Darkness and some others that I can't think of.
There are some great games coming out this year as well like Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Mario Golf (that might be next year in Europe ), Viewtiful Joe and Mario Kart to name just 4. 
For me though, the GameCube has a serious lack of great games compared to the N64, games like Mario Sunshine are good but not in the same class as the great Mario 64 (still worth a least a rent).

Like Simon said (haha! SIMON SAYS! ), it is all a matter of your taste, but here is a list of some of my Gamecube games which I think everyone should own:
Metroid Prime Eternal Darkness Super Smash Bros. Melee
I've got 15 Gamecube games myself, but I think most of them all depend on your taste. If you tell me what genres you really like, I could add some more to the list. As for now, these are the 3 I recommend, with Melee being the greatest game, and Eternal Darkness being the least greatest game (but still great!).

Timesplitter 2 is also really great. and so is Metroid Prime and Mario.
games to be looking out for are: F-zero GX (DUH ), Mario Kart: Double Dash, Soul Calibur 2, Viewtiful Joe, MGS: the Twin Snakes, FF:CC, SW:rebel strike and kirby seems to be getting high scores in Japan.

Cool, thanks for the imput guys, it's been really helpful. Well this morning I went into town and bought Pikmin and Luigi's Mansion, new, for 」30. Not a bad deal I think. 
I'm not really that fussy when it comes to genres I like but I generally go for games such as racing, simulation, strategy, fighting, action/adventure and the occasional FPS and RPG.
I'll look into Metroid Prime. Not sure about SSBM, it seems a little too multiplayer orientated. Of course, I am also saving up for F-Zero GX.

yes, is the best multiplayer game so far. i think i played that game over 300 hours and it still kicks ass.
but single player is good too for those who want to collect all 280 trofies about the history of nintendo.

My favorite games are Zelda, Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, SSBM, and MegaMan Network Transmission, and future games I'm definetly buying will be F-Zero GX, Soul Calibur 2, and Mario Kart, I think there is one more, I'll come back later and update if I remember it.

I agree with Ruben, SSBM is a fantastic game. Yes, also in single-player mode. As you probably like F-Zero, you'll like the mini games in SSBM (Break the Targets, Home Run Contest). For me there is the same urge to improve my scores as in F-Zero.
Other great GC games:
Wind Waker+ Master Quest Metroid Prime Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II (also great offline!) Star Wars: Rogue Leader Super Mario Sunshine Wave Race: Blue Storm (The third best time trial game right after F-Zero and Mario Kart!)

Oh, I forgot to metion Wave Race: Blue Storm when I posted, thanks for reminding me Telpefion. I have been playing it non-stop along with some SSBM. I don't like SSBM that much anymore, but Wave Race is awesome. All I have left to do is actually get a gold in Hard mode (I got Silver) and get a gold in Expert.
