A little help...Which game should I buy?

The other day I found myself with no money, and Mario Sunshine out there on a storeshelf somewhere, so of course I was frantically trying to think of a way to obtain it somehow, preferably legally. So I ended up creating a "pile of shame" (as in games I wish I didn't still own, like Oni, The Bouncer, Yoshi's Story etc.) and sold it at my local Game Stop (I know, I know, but I was desperate) and I actually got way more store credit than I thought I would, like 104 dollars or thereabouts.

So I bought Sunshine, it's amazingly great but I won't start about that in this thread, and now I still have a little over 50 bucks of store credit left and I'm left with the problem of not knowing which new game to buy. I'm leaning towards Mark of Kri at the moment, but any information on that game or any other reccomendations would be very cool, I know this is pretty vague but I have GameCube and PS2, no Box. Thanks

Buy The Thing.

Well, Onimusha 2 is out today. Also both Mark of Kri and The THing are excellent games on PS2.

MONKEY BALL 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, yes. Onimusha 2. Gotta go get that, too. :)

bbobb, he already got 1 Cube game :) Not his PS2 have some fun too :)

I agree. PS2 needs no lovin'...

Well, I'll be glad to offer a suggestion or two.

The Mark of Kri: It's quite a good game to be leaning toward, indeed. The animation and art direction are top-shelf stuff, and there's more than enough bloody hacking gameplay to back it up. Not only is there the main quest, but the arena mini-games are almost as fun. The combat engine is quite a creation, but there's also stealth, archery, and the whole Kuzo bird thing to do. However, the game's kind of short, so longevity might become an issue, but for me, the art has guaranteed Mark of Kri a spot in my permanent collection. Games of this kind of care and quality are getting rarer, so the more support they get, the better. Plus at $40, it'll leave ya with $10 towards something else. ;)

Fatal Frame: If you like survival horror and ghosts, this is a no-brainer. Again, surprisingly high-quality. In my eyes, it's got ten times the dread of Silent Hill.

And on the Cube:

Beach Spikers: Highly, highly recommended if you've got three pals. Virtua Tennis-like in its ease to get into, but it's got quite a bit of depth. One of the best-animated sports sims I've ever seen. The camera's a little naughty, but doesn't detract once you get used to it.

Super Monkey Ball 2: If you liked the first, give this one a look. The single-player puzzles have changed a bit, with a little more emphasis on puzzle-solving rather than straight navigation, but it's multiplayer- and mini-game heaven. I don't have this one yet, but I shall VERY shortly.

I'd definitely pick up Mark of Kri, especially if you're a fan of animation (but also even if you're not). Beach Spikers is a must if you've got gaming friends, but if not, Monkey Ball 2 has practically infinite replay, single OR multi.

Hope this helps - good luck!

Mark of Kri.

It hasn't owned you...

...yet.

Also, SkyGunner is pretty cool game, or so I heard. Check it out before it becomes too rare.

Stop suggesting games not called Super Monkey Ball 2. It makes baby Jesus cry, and I know where you all live.

Well, thanks a lot everyone for the suggestions, I had completely forgotten about Monkey Ball 2, Onimusha 2, and The Thing (which I was actually really looking forward to, don't know how that slipped past).

So I guess finding a new game to get isn't going to be so much of a problem, I'm sure whatever I decide upon I'll be here to rant about, good or bad :)

Let him Cry Ethugg, let him cry. After he cries enough, he will feel better.

You can't go wrong with Super Monkey Ball 2. If I had the spare change I would pick it up in a heartbeat.
