While enjoyable for a while, I found Animal Crossing's presence in so many areas to be a little odd.

Metroid Prime deserves Gameplay Engineering IMO.

    check your local video game store. >:( I found Prime to be decent, but definitely not god-like

      Ugh, I still have to preorder so I can get the bonus disc. What's the best place to do that? EB? A good online place maybe?

        I hope not. That's part of the Zelda magic. You haven't played the game yet, I have, the graphics are awesome - so complete, it pulls it's own unique look off better than any game I've played, even better than Rez.

  I'd have to disagree. Cool game, but I detest the controls.

    Talking about Metroid? I, too, wish they had done it like Halo. They kinda dumbed it down, IMO.

  It's kinda strange maybe, but I'm glad to see them rewarding an original concept.
