So the Cash Converter I walk past on the way to college has a Gamecube in the window for £13, this tempts me. Having never played one, nor really seen any of it's exclusives I ask you; are there enough good games to warrent a pick up of this console? And what games are worth checking out?

There are enough games to justify purchasing a pre-owned GameCube for £13. I bought my GameCube for a bargain £30 way back in the day and although there are not many games worth playing on the console, I got more than I paid for with the console.
I'll list a few quick games from my personal library that are worth checking out. Metroid Prime is my personal favourite, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Super Monkey Ball and Mario Kart: Double Dash are the notables in my collection. I would add Ikaruga if it wasn't for the fact you can download it on XBLA.

I suggest going with Metroid Prime first, but don't treat it as an FPS game. The game is more like a first-person adventure, and the atmosphere is fantastic whilst it's still visually decent even for today's standards. If I recall, it was in GameRankings' top ten of all time so I imagine you most likely won't be disappointed.

Memberbuy the remake of residetn evil 1!!!! its insantly good! if you havent played resident evil 1 on the playstation then i really suggest this game! the remake is as good if not even better then the first one. And the remake is the only scary resident evil game. and if you really like it you can re play it on the really hard diffucultys. the first one is "realistic mode" wich makes the item boxes in the game dosent connect to each other, that means if you put your shotgun in a box in the beginning of the game you must get it back THERE! also you die alot faster. and the hardest difficulty after that is invisible enemies, and tha game is as the diffculty says, all enemies ( i mean ALL) are invisible, the only time you see them is when they attck or when you hit em ( and a few spots were you can see their reflection from water on the ground. i have finnished the game on all difficulties so if you need just ask me and ill gladly help

Yeah, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes is a good suggestion. The GameCube controller sucks on MGS compared to the PS1 pad but nothing's perfect. I also suggest Super Smash Bros. Melee like I said on Xbox Live.
The Cyborg Ninja from MGS1 is still badass...

A few other excellent suggestions would be:
- Resident Evil 4
- SSX 3
- Viewtiful Joe
- Pikmin 2Especially Viewtiful Joe, I'm surprised I didn't remember it sooner but it's a fantastic game that I thoroughly enjoyed playing from start to finish. RE4 is also awesome if you've not played it yet, and I suggested SSX 3 / Pikmin 2 because they are exclusive to the GameCube and have many positive reviews, though I've never played them.

You need to play Viewtiful Joe, it's by the old Clover Studios who also created Okami.

I got sick of RE1 after the 96th remake.
The core gameplay didn't age very well either, I'll stuck to RE4. :]

I was lucky to even find that on YouTube. It's hard finding videos for specific MGS scenes, weirdness.
