i would consider Metroid Prime a generation defining game, as well as an all time great. heck it invented it's own genre.

I don't think so. Games like Metroid Prime and The Orange Box aren't games that will be remebered as all-time greats 5-10 years after their releases. I don't think people look at The Orange Box or Metriod Prime and say, "This is one of the greatest games I have played". Maybe at first you'll say because of hype and exitement. However, do think that right here and now Metriod Prime is a game that should be put into the same category as a game like Super Mario 64? I doubt most people think of Metroid Prime that way. Games like Resident Evil 4, Grand Theft Auto III, Halo, and KOTOR are the type of games I think are deserving of a 95% score. Just being an amazing triple A game isn't good enough to get that type score. Surely you don't think a game like Bioshock put into that category, do you?


Uh, The Orange Box is the best deal in videogame history. Portal alone is "genre defining." While I disagree that Metroid Prime invented its own genre like the previous poster suggests, attacking these games isn't going to get you far. And yes, Bioshock should be in that category. Have you even played these games?
