How to break Metroid Prime 3

Wii Feature | Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Nov 19, 2007 Theres something about Metroid that makes otherwise normal people skip breakfast, lunch and dinner to play it in ways that must make the developers shake their fists and say ‘Grrrr. An entire community of Samus speedrunners is out there, digging up shortcuts and tricks with their game spades, shaving milliseconds off completion times - theyve even got their own language (see below).

The History of Metroid

Wii Feature | Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

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 ...

Wii Feature | Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

At long last, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has arrived in stores. We've raved about it endlessly, hailing its impressively layered and detailed graphics along with the new and improved control scheme.

Retrobot presents: Hardcore games

Wii Feature | Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

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, ...

Gamers react with their usual jaded cynicism, belittling others for daring to hold something sacred in this fast-forward age of materialistic gluttony. ...
