Well I think I read somewhere that the ad company that does the Believe campaign doesn't know how Halo 3 ends, so they could just be putting the 'memorial' spin on the campaign to draw in people that want a true emotional attachment to their games.
Great ad too. Some of the best acting I've ever seen.
If they do manage to get this movie back on track, I really hope it's not about the Chief. I mean, I'd probably see it several times regardless of who it's about, but anyone who's read the Halo novels knows that the Master Chief isn't exactly the most social person in the world, something that doesn't quite fit in with Alex Garland's 'character-development-out-the-ass' style of writing scripts.
Metroid is about backtracking, dude. That's what made the original so fun and it's sticking to the roots. Also, I found that 3 contained minimal backtracking when compared to the other two. I can remember only a couple instances (besides the fetch quest) when you were FORCED to go back to a planet.
Also, if you don't like the controls, try switching it out of 'standard' and into 'advanced.' It makes it more Metroid and less Red Steel.
