Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
Metal Arms is a quirky little third-person shooter that has a similar comedic style to the Conker games. You take the role of Glitch, a small soldier robot that joins the forces of the Droids in their massive war against General Corrosive and his Milbots. Tight shooting, varied weapons, and good humor made this a memorable title on the GameCube.
Viewtiful Joe
Viewtiful Joe screams style with everything it does, from its over the top beat ’em up gameplay to the cel-shaded aesthetic. You play Joe, an avid moviegoer, who’s girlfriend is captured while watching a film featuring Joe’s favorite superhero. He’s then transported to movieland where he’s given the ability to transform into his superhero persona, Viewtiful Joe.
Killer 7
Killer7 is one of the many eclectic titles by the developer known as Suda51, and it shows. The game follows a group of assassins known as the “killer7” who undertake missions on behalf of the U.S. government. It has a complex noir-style story that has plenty of Suda51’s quirkiness and a unique on-rails control scheme.
Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil 4 was the biggest shift the series had ever seen, and it remains one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time. The title played much more like a third-person shooter, rather than a fixed camera angle survival horror game. Resident Evil 4 has been released on quite a few different consoles digitally, but the original GameCube version still stands the test of time.
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
The Twin Snakes is a complete remake of the original Metal Gear Solid that released on PS1 in 1998. First and foremost it boasts graphical improvements over the original, as well as brand new cutscenes. However, the title also had a revised translation, re-recorded voice lines, and gameplay improvements that were introduced with Metal Gear Solid 2.
