I’m not familiar with the reviewer, Tom Chick, and I probably won’t become familiar with him, either. While he’s done his homework and he possesses some knowledge of the franchise, the reader can’t really tell if this is through true experience or more of […]

Nintendo have announced that August 2007 is Metroid Month. Metroid and Super Metroid are due to be released on the Wii Virtual Console on August 13 and 20, respectively.

The blog post I made about the offensive discussion of booth babes by forum members in the Luminoth Temple is cited as an “Example of leaked information.” Also, a […]

In a comment to my previous post, Jeff from Jefftovers asked me to “list the Metroid games in order from [my] most-loved to most-despised”. I’ve never actually ranked the games in terms of how much I liked them and why. My response warrants its own post. BTW, I don’t despise any of the Metroid […]
