    I am not claiming it is a buy. In fact, I read it is short. It is also, linear for a Metroid game. The game is good so far, but IMO, a renter. I will discuss the game more, after I beat it.

    I am closer to the end, so far, a great game for a renter. A plot twist.
     
    There are Metroids in the game. Also Ridley is back and so is Mother Brain. Say it ain't so. Say it ain't so. *L* Oh yeah, this game picks up right after Super Metroid.

    Spotted at PAX today - DUKE IS BACK!

    http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2010/...y-be-released/
    The game is being finished by Gearbox Software and will be published by Take-Two Interactive, maker of the “Grand Theft Auto” series. The game is being shown to consumers and the press for the first time at Penny Arcade Expo today. Gearbox hopes to release the game next year.

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I completed the game with 100 % item collection. Overall, a very good game, but not worth the $50. By no means does this game suck. I completed it in a short amount of time.

    The boss battles are impressive for a typical Metroid game. The last required boss is
     
    the Metroid queen from Metroid 2. The last boss, which is optional, is some sort of cyclopic alien *not Mother Brain*.



    You are given the option to re-explore the game, after completion. It is the only way to achieve 100% completion and fight the optional final boss.


    The controls are a little bit fustrating. The graphics and sound are excellent. But it is kind of weird to have dialogue and personality in a Metroid game. It feels out of place. Rent it or wait for a price drop. But do play this game.

    Overall: 8/10

    I watched a video on YouTube the other day, one of those "All Your History" videos, and it was about 3D Realms. The fourth episode of that run was all about the arse up that was the development of Prey, and Duke Nukem Forever. By the sounds of it the lead on DNF was a complete and utter twat with no focus or leadership, and it was a sinking ship.

    It's good that the project is now in the hands of people who have actually released some games recently and actually have some capability ... although I'm sure the programmers etc on DNF must have been pulling their hair out over the piss poor leadership of the project.

    I wonder how the game will change from what it currently is, to what it will be next year. I am quite interested to see how it all pans out ... even play it.

    Oops! Tell which post numbers (eg: #12) should be in a dedicated (Metroid) thread and I'll chop 'em out...

    I'll totally play that.

    Quite a disorganised showing though, buggering around with "let's switch it back" - I bet it must have been a right old tease/annoyance at the actual thing, and this was an edited down video cutting (most of) that crap out.

    Anyway, it looks like jolly good fun though. Old school shooter, campy fun, gory, bewbs, one liners etc ... plus it's looking quite nice too. It's about time they got a team (and a director) in charge of the game that knows what they're doing. Looks like it'll just be a good slab of old school fun to me - nevermind your serious dramatic games, or intensely horrific games or whatever - this just looks like innocent (or not so innocent ) fun - I mean come on, it's a game where you can take a really long wazz at a urinal.

    Can't be bothered to re-load the video, what's at 8:20?

    I loved the line about, something like, 'if I had this right, that guy would still have his arm'
