    Gendering Game Violence

    There's another great post at Vorpal Bunny Ranch, this one looking at the issue of female game protagonists and game violence — there seem to be different expectations placed on the reaction of female protagonists to violence that is par for the course for male characters. Oh, sure, violence may still be there, but it takes on a different tone. Is this societal expectations playing out on our consoles and PCs?: More »

    SR-388: The Bigger, Badder, Not A Metroid II Remake Fan Project

    We shan't be lacking Metroid fan made games any time soon, it seems, as news of Von Richter's take on the adventures of Samus Aran looks to outdo "Project AM2R" in features and function. "SR-388," as it's known, boasts thousand of frames of animation, mini-games, new weapons, new mini-bosses and more, as it's more of a re-imagining than a graphical spit-shine. It looks just super and will hopefully give me, personally, the chance to revisit Planet SR-388 without having to compromise my strict graphics whore principles.

    Metroid 2 Remake Is Painstakingly Gorgeous

    Remakes of old classics - especially ones done by bedroom coders - aren't exactly new, but then they're often not exactly great, either. So it's nice to find "Another Metroid 2 Remake" bucks that trend by looking absolutely wonderful. It's the work of an Argentinean chap by the name of Milton, he's building the whole thing via Game Maker, and it's been nearly three years in the making. Trailer's after the jump if you're interested, and you can check out screens and a project status report at Milton's blog. More »

    Metroid Prime 3 Dated for Japan (Took Long Enough!)

    This one goes out to readers in Japan. Well, readers in Japan with Nintendo Wiis. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is *finally* getting a long overdue release date for The Land of the Rising Sun. The game will drop March 6 for ¥6,800 (US $64). The game was first released in North America last August, then in Europe in late October and finally in Australia in early November. Sure the series is more popular in those territories, but PAL countries getting games before Japan? Hello backwards day! More »

Reader Christopher sent in his beautiful Metroid pumpkin along with several pics of the construction process. While we would never question the talents of such an Artist, what's the general consensus on power tool use in pumpkin carving? Is harnessing electricity considered, dare we say, cheating, in some circles?

    Metroid Shines Through The Darkness

    It's Metroid Monday! Today's VC update brings Samus Aran's debut video game to the Virtual Console lineup. Metroid for the NES (500 points) introduced the world to that five note musical intro that still gives me happy chills every time I hear it. It's part of the Month of Metroid leading up to Metroid Prime: Corruption's release on the 27th. Shining in the Darkness for the Genesis (800 points) is not, but it is still a fine example of a first-person dungeon romp RPG. Rounding out this week's trio is Cratermaze (600 points), a maze game featuring a time travel theme. Opi must rescue his friends from the villainous Zenzombie using...bwahahahahaha! Zenzombie! That's so awesome. Anyway, two excellent games including an opportunity to brush up on your Metroid skills in time for the big day...or you could just battle the evil Zenzombie *wipes at tears*.

    Wow, Japanese commercials are so freaking awesome! This is a spot from 1992 advertising Metroid: The Return of Samus in Japan. Interestingly, the only time you see any actual gameplay footage is towards the end in a reflection in Samus' helmet. The comic book styling and use of what looks like an animated Samus action figure makes this commercial a real standout. Flynn De Marco
