banjo is great and one of the best platform games outside of the mario series but i don't think it quite deserves to be top 10. as far as metroid prime against other first person games, i wouldn't say its easily the best, certainly goldeneye, half life 1 and 2, halo 1 and 2(haven't played 3), and metroid prime 3 are in the same league. but its defintely not ridiculous that it got ranked higher than them. also resistance not even close. and yes zelda, metroid, and mario are nintendo's, and video games in general, 3 biggest franchises, so it is no surprise that the best from each franchise makes up the top 3.
that said i'm glad to see galaxy up there, i started out thinking the game was decent after an or two of playing, but now with a few more hours in its awesome. just keeps getting better and better. and i'm not even a quarter of the way through the game yet. i don't doubt by the time i finish i'll agree that its one of the best games ever.
