It began long ago, several months before the world was aware of its presence. A top-secret project was brewing in the offices of an unknown building, one that housed collaboration between two of the world's deadliest corporations. Their

Metroid – a Nintendo franchise dating back to the NES days has an addition to the ever-growing series: Metroid Prime. The details were laid out bluntly: this game was going to be in 3d, unlike earlier Metroid games. Well, what do diehard fans say to

I’m going to be honest with everyone. I never played the original 2D Metroid games, but I have heard that they are the best games that Nintendo ever created, especially Super Metroid on the SNES. But when I heard about Metroid Prime, and how they were

Back when the first tidbits of Metroid Prime were revealed, many people bemoaned the death of the Metroid series. Things just kept sounding worse and worse. First we hear that Nintendo isn’t doing the game, but rather some company called Retro. Then

The games storyline is very unique. Its not often that a first person shooter gets such a good storyline, but this isn’t just any first person shooter as you will find out. The story goes that the Chozo, a very advanced form of life that have a number

Graphically, Prime has everything in exactly the right places. Even the opening menus are wonderfully animated, overlaid over a very realistic render of what appears to be the innards of a Metroid. The camera pans dramatically over this fleshy construct.

Gamers became cynical when they learned that the Metroid series was now in the hands of a virtually unknown developer, Retro Studios. Despite being one of Nintendo’s second parties, Retro had nothing to show for themselves. As information and

A true gaming masterpiece. It is the type of game that reminds you why it was you first started playing games and manages to keep you both enthralled and amused from start to finish.

With nothing at all against other games in the series, I honestly could never find the motivation to spend extra time trying to find secret items
in earlier Metroid titles. Not so with Metroid Prime. Prime is the very first Metroid game that actually

Metroid Prime is a first person shooter. I've seen it said so many times that it's an exploration/adventure game in a first-person mode. To me, that just means it's an FPS with non-linear gameplay. First-person games generally haven't really gotten along

To those not familiar with the Metroid franchise, let me explain the plot in the loosest possible detail. Wait, scratch that - if you're not familiar, go pick up Metroid (NES), Metroid II : The Return of Samus (GB), Super Metroid (SNES), and Metroid

If you've heard of Metroid before then you'll know the background and what the "Metroids" are and can skip a paragraph or three, but if not then listen: You play Samus Aran, who is orphaned by space pirates as a young girl and decides to become an

The handling and controls of MP rank among the best of today’s top “shooter” games. You are set in a fist person view mode for most of the game, switching only to a third-person perspective when in morph ball form – an ability Samus has to fit
