I have an announcement to make everyone. I can now happily report that I'm 25% through Metroid Prime. I just got the Heat vision visor, my super Missles, and my first encounter with a Metroid.

And did I mention that this is one of the most amazing games I've ever played? Becase it is.

Yeah, the pirate research area in Phendrana is where the game starts to really get good.  Just wait until you get to the mines, no one will be able to pry the controller from its death grip in your hands.

I know what you mean. I remember my first time when I stepped into Phazon Mines. Wow... that's all I can say. I was SCARED as hell cause I knew it would be Space Pirates infested [and I was right!]. Full of action and mind-bending puzzles at the same time.

What's even greater is that MP3 promises to be all the way through like Phazon Mines [action + exploration!].

It is a hardcore game through and through. You will get your ass kicked by bosses. You will be stumped by the sometimes complex, but never overbearing, exploration.

In case nobody's said it yet, Metroid.com has been updated.

Looks like Matt C. was again worried about nothing...

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Where did you get your avatar from Ben. A stylized Metroid with the look of Sadness would be too cool.



It's been on my computer for ages...someone on DeviantArt made it though.

Ok, so I only got a very tiny itsy bitsy play session in today. But I'm glad to report that I have progressed from 25% all the way to 26%!... yeah. but on the plus side, I fought a Giant Phazon rock beast. And it sure was giant! God damn thing almost finished me off too. 23% left on my last energy tank.

But it was SOOOO worth the trouble, as It gave me my SPIDERBALL! I have been waiting for that thing for so damn long. Now I've just got to fight the urge to revisit every single room in the game looking for Spiderball tracks.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Metroid Prime 1 was really special (liked #2, but it didn't compare to #1 IMO).

It has that classic Ninty feel/design, along with great tech, gfx, music, control... and is just awesome.

I lent it to a friend almost 3 (4?) years ago now, and have never seen it since (they also have my Mario Kart DD...).

So tempting to buy it again...

You fought Thardus? Cool boss huh?! Ahh the memories.

 

I pity those who won't play Prime just because it's not a shooter or because it doesn't have dual analogue control. Farts....

By the way. For those of you trying to finish the prime series before mp3, remember that your percent complete is a percentage of total items. So if you are at 25% you are probably 60% done with the game. This should take some of the pressure off. Oh yeah. Just 15 days to go. Pressure resumes.



The new trailers are supposed to be released today no?! WHY AREN'T THEY ON THE NET YET?!

I hate being European :'(
