    Call of Duty: Finest Hour
    You won't find a better first-person shooter on the Nintendo GameCube. In fact, it's the best first-person shooter in a World War II setting this generation. Is this surprising? With the use of the original Call of Duty's play mechanics and amazing production values across the board, it shouldn't be.

    Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
    Quite simply the best Castlevania on the system, and an impromptu contender for best game – period – on the system itself. With link capabilities, a hidden character, and a bevy of secrets, Aria of Sorrow also has substantial shelf life and replay value.

    Spider-Man 2
    Not only is this the best film-based video game on the GameCube today, but it's one of the best comic-based video games ever. Even after you complete the main quest, you'll still spend hours finding every little thing or just swinging around and listening to the amazing voice that is Bruce.

    Kirby: Canvas Curse
    It has longevity, charm, and controls that endure the wild departure from traditional platformers and make a highly enjoyable game. It comes highly recommended.

    Sonic Advance 3
    The value of this cartridge will keep you playing and playing until your fingers rub raw.

    New Super Mario Bros.
    New sets out to simply give gamers more of what they want--more enemies, more levels, more bosses, more high-quality Mario. One can almost hear the trumpets as the classic platformer makes its triumphant return.

    Metroid Prime Pinball
    Metroid Prime Pinball may be the surprise sleeper of the fall, and although the "Prime" moniker may be out of place, it certainly embodies the fun and sense of addiction that other Metroid titles have shown.

    Freedom Fighters
    One of the most interesting titles to come out for the Nintendo GameCube and any Cube gamer would be foolish to pass a game like this up.

    Rubik's Puzzle Galaxy: RUSH
    Puzzle fans who decide to pick up Rubik's Puzzle Galaxy: RUSH will be pleasantly surprised by the depth they find.

    Red Faction II
    With impressive visuals, landmark play mechanics, and multiplayer mayhem, this title is easily recommended for the violence-tolerant.

    Smuggler's Run: Warzones
    Definitely shines in the single player mode with its generous amount of missions and a steady difficulty curve to keep you interested and wanting to play. The game itself just seems to scream fun.

    TimeSplitters 2
    One of the best first-person shooter games ever. The only major flaw I can find with the game is the lack of online support.

    Donkey Kong 64
    Very intriguing, but nothing new. The game is fun, but unless you have time to collect every single object in the game, it can get old fast.

    International Superstar Soccer '98
    It has all the features you could ask for and more and the gameplay has been refined to near perfection. Then it seems, the only reason FIFA is consistently outselling ISS is the fact that EA have the FIFA license and Konami do not. Just don't let that put you off what is possibly the best soccer game on any system.

    NHL 2K3
    Treyarch and Sega have created the "Madden" of hockey with this title. It just needs some aural and visual polish to become something amazing.

    NCAA Football 2005
    One major flaw that the game has is the recycled bits of commentary from Lee Corso. The man’s a football genius, so throwing in sound bits that were recorded last year is just disgraceful. That being said, he still gives a great performance, even though he doesn’t offer any helpful tactics in this title.

    Super Mario 64 DS
    With a huge adventure that will take dozens of hours to complete, along with 36 different mini-games and single-card multiplayer, Super Mario 64 DS is easily the best title on the Nintendo DS right now.

    Space Station Silicon Valley
    SS SV is the most satisfying, original, funny, amazing gaming experience I've had in a long while. This game is absolutely brilliant.

    WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!
    If you have friends, preferably four friends who everyone else can see, you should go buy this game.

    Pikmin
    Pikmin's simple, elegant design and compact structure redeem its brevity.

    The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
    Ocarina of Time 3D succeeds largely because it does not tamper with the original title, striking the perfect balance between old and new content.

    Etrian Mystery Dungeon
    For those willing to invest the effort and time, Etrian Mystery Dungeon is a phenomenal game that will challenge and reward you in equal measure.

    Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
    MH4U is a milestone achievement for Capcom’s unique series. It looks, sounds, and plays better than ever, belying the fact that it’s running on a handheld and not a home console.

    Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus
    PMCE2+ is an excellent addition to the Switch eShop, not to mention a spectacular evolution of the Pac-Man franchise. A lot of games have legacies, as Nintendo fans know very well, but some of the older titles that pioneered the industry are either stuck in re-releases or not as engaging to today’s players. If PMCE2+ is proof of anything, it’s that with a little ingenuity, the core mechanics of these classics can easily appeal to a contemporary audience.

    Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
    Overall, Treasure Tracker is a real gem of a game. It’s also beautiful; I was stunned by it on Wii U, but the visuals have only gotten better on Switch. It’s bright, cheery, and wildly creative from an aesthetic standpoint. Each stage is like a diorama, making the game feel like the player is interacting with toys, rather than lines of code. The soundtrack isn’t especially varied, likely because most stages don’t require a lot of time to beat, but I’d have appreciated a few more tracks to spice things up.

    Forgotton Anne
    The actual gameplay is rewarding and only introduces the slightest of stumbles that are negligible compared to the agency and interactivity afforded by being a video game. In terms of gameplay, there are certainly titles that offer greater variety and complexity, but the beautiful visuals, fantastic soundtrack, compelling story and likable characters easily elevate Forgotton Anne to the level of being a truly excellent game.

    Tony Hawk's American Sk8land
    What differentiates Tony Hawk's American Sk8land from "Mario Kart" is the level of involvement. Sk8land is far less pick-up-and-play, but those who take the time to learn its intricacies will have a blast.

    Stick it to the Man!
    This is easily one of the best eShop titles currently available, which should satisfy any Wii U owner currently starved for games.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
    Smash Bros. has arrived, and it didn’t disappoint. I can’t stress enough that this needs to be in everyone’s 3DSes.

    SteamWorld Dig 2
    With its SteamWorld games, Image & Form have created an interesting universe united by common aesthetics but surprisingly diverse in terms of gameplay. Despite SteamWorld Dig 2 being a sequel, it retains this concept by adapting its predecessor’s unique mechanics into the otherwise familiar Metroidvania genre. This strange combination has resulted in a surprisingly successful and creative marriage of ideas that is made all the more appealing by the compelling atmosphere created by the beautiful visuals and pitch perfect music. For fans of previous games in the franchise, SteamWorld Dig 2 is an absolute must play that lives up to its siblings, and for everyone else it’s a perfect opportunity to see why these games have garnered so much praise.
