Me, in particular, I have been playing games for nearly 30 years. That’s a lot of game choices. So, I try to base my favourite games on those special moments when a game becomes more than a game. It grips you like a powerful film. It makes you constantly crave to play it. And it forever has a place in your heart. So what was my top five? Well, I’m not going to tell you all in one go. Where is the fun in that? So, for the next few weeks, I’m going to talk about each one, and how that gaming experience affected me. The games I loved are too special just to put in a lifeless list. So, what’s the first game I’ll talk about? It’s a game that is massively overlooked by the gaming world. A game that (in my opinion) should be looking down at a certain Master Chief! The game is Metroid Prime!"
Metroid Prime is a detective game at heart, and the Scan Visor is Samus' trusty magnifying glass.
It's been two decades since Metroid Prime first launched and it still holds up fantastically well.
I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since I bought this for my GameCube! My best friend and I ordered pizza for delivery, it was snowing outside and we stayed in all weekend playing it. Still one of my all time favorite games and I really hope the Switch ports being rumored is true. Fantastic game, one for the ages🙂
With the recent release of Dread, it's time to look back on the history of Metroid and rank the best — and the worst.
Best (for me) would be the first Metroid Prime. It was simply amazing the first time i played it. so deep and challenging while also turning the series completely into something that felt new and fresh.
Worst (for me) is most likely Other M. I can appreciate what they were trying to go for but it just felt flat and played out.
Looking at the rest of the list, I never played Federation Force but i have played the rest. Pinball is still one of my favorites to play now and then.
