After months of hype, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is finally on store shelves. Samus Aran is back and better than ever!
After only playing for a few hours, I can say with full confidence that this game is the best in the series. The new control scheme is right on target, the plot is much easier to follow, and a higher level of interaction with the game environment makes it that much more realistic. Nintendo's philosophy has always been that gameplay is what makes a game. Corruption is a perfect demonstration of this. Opening up and blasting on some poor space pirate is just great! Pointing and shooting with the Wiimote comes naturally. You throw and retract your grapple beam with the Nunchuck and can interact with various parts of the environment with the Wiimote. The plot is kept much closer to the surface, without straying from the adventure aspect of the game. You've got the same powerups, energy bars, and save rooms as in the past; but there are also new features to unlock, such as the phazon-enhanced hypermode (just don't stay in it too long).
Graphics. Icing on the cake here. To anyone claiming that the Wii's graphics suck, you just got slapped in the face. Just looking at the game, most people would assume they were looking at different system. This is without a doubt, the best Wii game to date (graphically speaking). It amazes me how they are pushed through the system so effortlessly. The graphics here are flawless.
The music and sound effects are what you can expect from a Metroid game. Corruption has the same crisp weapon sounds and epic music tracks as its predecessors (along with some new mixes). Voice acting is new to the game and has been well implemented.
All in all, this is the FPS of the year, if not all time. When you have the Metroid name mounted on top of the best FPS control scheme ever, you know you've got a winner. Metroid Prime 3 is a must buy for any Wii owner! ]]>

World of Warcraft is great. It's only major downfall is it's price which, if you're paying every 6 months, will be approximately $12 a month. Replay value is insane. Why, you may ask? The game never ends. Sure, some people think they're done when they hit the highest level, (currently 70) but the game goes far past that, and I would estimate that approximately 25% of the game is devoted strictly to those people who have hit the cap level. This is great as, in most games, you work for a long time to get somewhere, and then nothing is a challenge, and all your work leads up to being bored with nothing to do. World of Warcraft completely eliminates this problem.
Another great thing about it is the graphics. The gameplay is "seamless," and, while I don't want to sound like a commercial, they really are first rate. The game has a little bit of voice acting, and the music is nice, but not overpowering. Don't get me wrong- the music could be better, but it's a video game, and not all that many video games are known for their stunning music.
You choose from 8 Races, and 9 Classes for your character to play as. Race is a large factor in potential gameplay, but the Class that you choose will literally determine much of your gameplay for you. You also choose a faction of Horde, or Alliance. Horde is bad, Alliance is good. The factions are rather quarrelsome with each other, and different races have chosen to side with different Factions. Alliance has: Humans, Dwarves, Night Elves, Gnomes, Draeni Horde has: Blood Elves, Tauren, Undead, Orcs, Trolls Still, though, even at that flat monthly fee, you can have just about as many characters as you want. I have around five unique characters that I can play on, so whenever you get bored of one character, you can move to another. You can have characters on separate servers, and of separate races/factions/classes.
Also, being able to choose a PvP environment, one for Roleplaying, or one for simply playing the game but not being able to be attacking by players of the opposite faction anywhere, which is referred to as PvE. (PvE=Player vs. Environment, such as fighting monsters.)
Overall, World of Warcraft is a great game, and if you have some extra cash from a gift or something, I would suggest giving it a try.
