Wii Warm Up: All things Metroid

And so Metroid Week comes to an end. For those of you who picked it up, how far along are you now? How are the controls treating you? The difficulty? For us, exploring has really been the only thing we've had a little trouble with -- sometimes it takes a bit to find what we're looking for -- but we ...

Continuing our romp through the Metroid series's boxart history, we're ending today with a look at covers from Samus's prime installments on both handhelds and consoles.

Wii Warm Up: Has Metroid set the standard?

We're willing to go on record stating the Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is about the best thing we've slipped into our Wii so far.

Are you playing Metroid? If so, then by now, there's surely something you like about the game. We want to know what you think the very best part of the game is so far ... and if you have complaints, we want to hear those, too.

Metroid Week: A browser game mash-up

The culture of gaming (and especially comics) is chock full of hypothetical battles, often ending in heated geek debate. And this browser game is no different. But, seeing as how we're celebrating something here this week, we felt compelled to share this game with you. The controls aren't the best...

Wii Warm Up: How many hours have you sunk in so far?

The game released yesterday. You picked it up. We picked it up. Everyone is happy. But, without stating any spoilers, we'd like to know how far along you are. How many hours have you put into the game already? How much fun have you had with it so far?...
