Please post the 'must have' games that would be a crime not to have for Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, Xbox and GBA?

I've got plenty of unfinished games and games I should've played...I figure that I could kill some time until the wave of next gen boxes arrive! :devilish:
 
I have only DC and PS2 so...here is my list of "must have" games:

DC-

Shenmue1&2
Jet Grind Radio
Sonic Adventure 1/2
DoA2
Soul Calibur
Crazy Taxi
Test Drive: Le Mans
RE:Code Veronica
Skies of Arcadia
Air Force Delta
Virtua Tennis
Headhunter

PS2-

Ico
MGS2:SoL
Silent Hill 2
ZOE2
Fatal Frame 2:CB
Ace Combat 4
Burnout3
NFS:HP2
Winning Eleven (Football)
J&D
R&C
Sly Cooper
Twisted Metal: Black
Soul Calibur 2

etc etc, I am mad at not being able to remember more names.... o_O

Game Cube

-F-Zero GX
-Pikmin1&2
-Mario Kart DD
-Wind Waker
-Mario Sunshine
-Metroid Prime
-Viewtiful Joe
 
Wind Waker, Ico, Ico's sequel (whatever it's gonna be called and whenever it's gonna come out), Viewtiful Joe 1&2, SoulCalibur2 (Xbox, just for the 720p and 5,1 sound), Guilty Gear X2, Zoe2, the Silent hill games, the new RE games...
 
For PS2:

GTA: Vice City (has so much to do) and GTA: San Andreas (I'm so waiting for this game)
ICO
Metal Gear Solid 2
Burnout 3
Final Fantasy X
Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec
REZ
Jak 2
R&C 2
Z.O.E.2
Silent Hill 2

...if I'd had to narrow that list down, I'd choose the following:

GTA: Vice City
ICO
Metal Gear Solid 2
Burnout 3
Final Fantasy X
Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec
REZ
Jak 2
R&C 2
Z.O.E.2
Silent Hill 2
 
Add those to the list:

DC:
Grandia 2 (Best RPG, no matter the platform. [Ok didn't play Fable])

GBA:
Mario Golf Taodstool Tour

NGC:
Bio Hazard 4 (Resident Evil 4) [Not yet released but sounds like a hit]


I wouldn't recommend any FF, they are way too boring, same dated gameplay since FF7, when it first came it was fine, but now...
 
PS2
Ratchet & Clank series
Jak & Daxter series
Sly Cooper (I haven't played Sly 2 yet)
Metal Gear Solid 2 (even though its story causes a sharp, stabbing pain in my head)

Multiple platforms
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

If I had to choose one game, I'd say R&C: Going Commando. Up Your Arsenal is going to be even better, judging by the demo.
 
I'll limit myself to four per platform:

DC:

Shenmue series
Test Drive: Le Mans
Jet Grind Radio
Soul Calibur

PS2:

ICO
VF4: Evo
Klonoa 2
Dark Cloud 2

GCN:

Eternal Darkness
Starfox Adventures
Metroid Prime
Zelda: WW

Xbox:

Halo
Splinter Cell series
Amped 2
Panzer Dragoon Orta
 
Thanks for all the above suggestions...no doubt I'll end up getting the games missing from my collection! :p

I notice I have Ikaruga missing from my collection and I fancy an old school schump right now...which version is recommended, the GC or the DC version :?: Thanks...

Whichever costs the less, I believe they are identical.
