Name your top ten or must have games for all three systems.

I already own a PS2 and I may have the oppurtunity in May to pick up both a Gamecube and a X-Box for free. I am looking for some good titles to consider and possibly pick up. I realize it all depends on what type of games you play, but I am just looking for a broad range because I don't know what games will be available for me to pick from.

Mario
Star Wars: Rogue Leader (sequel comes out this fall as well)

I don't have an X-box, but if I got one I definitely pick up:

Unfortunately I don't think so. The Vegas trip is already booked and I don't even know if there really is the shopping spree this time. So far unsubstantiated rumors. But if something opens up I will let you know

For the cube:

Metroid Prime

Not a Zelda player myself, but it has gotten great reviews.

Mario if you like that type of game...

I picked up eternal darkness but haven't cracked it open yet, but I have heard great things about it too.
