So far we have a couple of games for the kids, and "Burnout".
I NEED something along the lines of Quake or something "better".
Is there such a thing for GameCube yet?
Any input will be appreciated.

Anyway like someone else mentioned go with Timesplitters 2. That is easily the best FPS on the Cube and it has amazing multiplayer. Metroid Prime is a great game but it is NOT a FPS, at least in the traditional sense. It's more like a Zelda-style game with a first person view. Although I think it's a great game if you want a shooter stay away from it because you'll be disappointed. Get Metroid Prime only if you like the original Metroid games or Zelda.

Whenever I hear the term shoot 'em up I never think of an FPS. I guess I'm too old fashioned.
Heh, so did I- even though I'm younger than most people here, when I saw this thread I thought of scrolling shooters, like Gradius or of the such, not FPS's.
In any case, if you're looking for a shooter on the Gamecube, Timesplitters 2 is really your only option- good thing it's an INCREDIBLY good game, far superior to Halo, or even Perfect Dark and Goldeneye, in my opinion. If you want an ACTUAL shooter, check out the amazingly difficult Ikaruga.

*attaches fake beard and walking frame* darn tootin' Ian, in my day shoot 'em up ment top down / side scrolling shooter, usually involving some form of aircraft, beit a space ship (think R-Type) a helicopter (think silkworm, swiv) or some other form of vehicle. BRING BACK THE SHUMP >=o
and back on topic, the cube has sorta slim pickings in teh FPS stakes we have erm.. TS2 which some people don't like because of the cube's control, and er.. Geist is coming out at some stage this year (i think), so either grab some for the PC or buy old consoles and get REAL shoot 'em ups ^_^
oh and get Ikaruga, get it now.

why must you push PC games on people who did not ask for them?
I would recommend Timesplitters, true crime, MOH frontline, Dead to Rights.

frontline? The bastard child of Allied Assault you mean? Allied Assault>Frontline, ask anyone whom has played both.
