With the exception of Gear Head, which is unfinishable, and Clone Wars Campaign, which I just started, everything on that list has now been beaten into the ground.
There's a Pikmin 2? *reads reviews* It sounds orgasmic! I enjoyed the first one a lot (even though my friend called it "that demon plant-slaver game"), but the new one sounds much more satisfying. Random dungeon generators make me happy. I may have to break down and buy a gamecube...
I honestly think that good cube games are better than good pc games. If only they were easier to import. You live in the US, you should pick one up. It's worth it for Super Smash Bros and Pikmin alone. The Zeldas, Marios, Metal Gears, Megamans and Biohazards are just icing on the cake. Bio 0 was some pretty tight icing when it came out, though. Just don't buy Donkey Konga. That was a pretty sad waste of $100.

In communista, land of piracy, the only semi-legit place I seem to be able to order from is lik sang and they are pretty queer. Still, they sell Pikmin.
My favorite Gamecube game so far was Mario Sunshine...with Pikmin as a close second for sheer adorable fun.
Btw, would you recommend Geneforge 1 and 2? I'm not sure whether I'd have as much fun playing them as I did, say, playing Ultima VI back in the day. But on the other hand, I'll *always* be a fan of old-school RPGs.
They're both massive, open-ended, well-scripted CRPGs. That's not always enough, though. Being massive is actually what makes GF unplayable. You have control over the type of character you make and a reasonable number of spells and 'pokemon' to choose from. Unfortunately, there isn't much strategy involved in the fighting. Theoretically, you could play through the game using swords or spells, but for most people, it all comes down to zerg rushing everybody with a ton of crappy little charmanders. There's no point in getting any other spells... the first charmander summoning spell that you automatically receive is enough to finish the game with. Just keep making more and more and more of them.
