The History of Metroid

GC News | Metroid Prime

Oct 23, 2007 The Metroid series has always been a victim of bad timing. It's one of the most critically acclaimed franchises in gaming. But thanks to dodgy release dates, internal politics and Nintendo's own disbelief in the franchise that's never quite rivalled the mighty Mario and Zelda series. Wrong place, wrong time? 1986; Atari was old news and the NES had successfully prevented the industry from spiralling into an imploding crash. 33-year-old Shigeru Miyamoto's hot-selling Super Mario ...

Retrobot presents: Hardcore games

GC News | Metroid Prime

This is hardcore. Or so everyone says. But what is "hardcore?" To us gamers, it means the kind of game that serious gamers devote their time to. You know, hundreds of hours of time. The kind of game that kept Granny away from gaming until Wii came along. It's about depth - of learning and understanding a game before truly mastering it. Hardcore games present the greatest (and often longest) challenges, yet also the biggest payoffs, assuming you understand how they work. Of course, ...

Zero Suit Samus in your bedroom

GC News | Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

Fans of Metroid Prime's sassy heroine (or rather its sassy heroine when her armor falls off) finally have their prayers answered - she's been made into a limited edition set of figurines. Sporting her rather fetching "Zero Suit" as seen at the end of Metroid Prime 2 and in the brilliant Super Smash Bros Brawl trailer, she'll instantly bring some sunshine to even the dullest of bedrooms. Apparently she "comes armed with her signature pistol and has curves in all the right places!" Easy, tiger. ...

GC News | Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

God Save the Wii Our friends on the other side of the pond got their Wii news today, but it was a bit of good and bad. While Sony will make Brit gamers wait until 2007 for their PS3s, the Wii will hit UK shores on December 8 for £180. That's still more than the US price if you work out the exchange rate and it's just £20 less than an Xbox 360 Core pack. Even the UK Virtual Console games will be the equivalent of a few bucks more expensive than in the US and Japan. And while the ...

Every Mortal Kombat fatality ever

GC News | Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance

It's hard to imagine a world where seven poorly animated, grisly voiced combatants could stir a nation into a videogame violence feeding frenzy. Since that original Mortal Kombat, we've ripped out hearts, beaten people to death with their own legs and uppercutted punk asses into whirling, toothy blades of steel - and not one game has ever been pulled from the shelves like congress was threatening 13 years ago. To celebrate this victory in the face of such powerful ignorance, we've compiled ...
