What's your game?

Metroid Prime

I’ve had a busy week. Our new car finally arrived, so we’ve been going out and driving around quite a bit in the last few days. We’re getting ready to go to Marty’s wedding in Orlando this weekend. After we ship Marty and his new bride off to Hawaii, we’re going to spend some time in amusment parks.

We’re also ramping up for our special issues at work, so I’ve not had as much time as I like to play games or update the site.

I did sit down and play some Metroid Prime when I should have been working on the Half-Life 2 story for our August issue. I managed to plow through most of the end of the game. I’m finding the game just about perfect, it’s not so hard that it’s frustrating, but not so easy that I breeze through it. There are loads of interesting things to check out in the environment. There’s something entertaining about reading Space Pirates internal memos about an intruder, who happens to be you!

The one complaint I heard with the game is that some of the bosses are too hard. Most of the bosses have one fatal flaw, that makes it easy for you to defeat them, once you’ve discovered the trick. I think that the people that complained about the difficulty just didn’t figure out the trick.

I’ve still got at least one boss fight to go, so I’ll report back in when I finish it off.
