With the recent release of Metroid Prime Remastered I figured the time had finally arrived for me to play the game though to completion. This wouldn’t be my first time playing the game. A few years ago I picked up the Metroid Prime Trilogy on my Wii U, got my Wiimote and Nunchuck ready and dived into the first title. At this time I hadn’t played any other Metroid games properly and the awkward controls were enough to put me off.

As I try to figure out what kind of longer pieces I’ll write for this blog, once again here are some thoughts on the games I’m currently playing. I am still working my way through Metroid Prime. There is so much to like about this game, and honestly, it really does feel like it’s a new release. It looks absolutely wonderful. If this is what we’ll get for Prime 4 then I’m certainly very excitied.

One of my favourite topics of discussion in the gaming world is digging in to the games people are currently playing. Be this on a podcast, reddit or comment sections it’s always fascinating to hear people’s thoughts on the games they’re playing, what they like, what they don’t. Often you hear about games of interest that you know you’ll never play yourself. People also give insight into how they structure their gaming plans, how they deal with playing multiple titles concurrently (or not) or why they’ve chosen a given console for a cross platform release.
