For the life of me, I cannot get excited about this game. Maybe I'm still bitter that they turned Metroid into an FPS platformer.

Oh, and no way is this game a Halo killer. I'll be shocked if it sells at 1/3 the rate of H3.

 Agreed on not being a Halo killer, but otherwise I disagree.

I'm honestly surprised that Metroid Prime remains the only First Person Adventure franchise in existence (the essential distinction being that this game emphasizes exploration over action). It's initial offering is considered one of the top ten or twenty games ever created by critics; why is no one following suit? Why are all First Person games still about blowing crap up, and not about discovery? I'm not asking that they all transfer over, but given the reception of Metroid Prime, you'd figure at least one other game would enter the sub genre.
