@FateOfNever: I think it is more of a final point of redemption of the game. Most of the time for me, if the only thing driving me forward is the ending, I despise the game.
What happens to the platform? It seems like BermanBraun pretty much gets it. Does that mean that GiantBomb's backend becomes antiquated? I don't want that to happen. Hell, I'll learn it!
@chaosnovaxz: I couldn't agree with that review at all, but I guess I can kinda see where the reviewer is coming from. I don't view Other M as sexist, but it definitely doesn't uphold the view we have of Samus. To me, it is just like if First Blood was not your first experience of Rambo. With almost any other Rambo movie, you see him as a strong lone wolf and a bit of a leader when the time comes. In First Blood however, you see his frailty and weakness post-traumatic stress disorder in coping with the real world. It may not be the exact same as Other M, but they both give another side of the Lone Wolf character that people don't expect to see.
Also this wasn't the first time in the series she has taken orders. She has done so at least in Metroid Prime III and in Metroid Fusion. In Fusion she talked about how she actually missed the dynamic of having a superior to be commanded by (whether or not he was a dick).
@stryker1121: I'm so indifferent about review scores. In the end, the reviewers are human and to be honest, to each his own. I've had a very broad conversation regarding Skyrim with friends from all around. Some praised the reviews, some that flat out don't get it. Some that preferred Fallout 3 and a few that preferred Morrowind and Oblivion.
As with pretty much everything in life there are those who agree, those who disagree, those who are sheep, and those that combine to form Jim Sterling (trolls). Despite any idea I think that can be applied to change the review process globally/regionally, these entities will all still exist and the reviews will continue to be quantified. Hell, I'm sure trolls go out of their way to try to quantify Kotaku's reviews...
personally, I'd prefer the madcatz dpad controller for 360. The transforming dpad is great compared to the original controller, but that isn't saying much. However, if you want an all-purpose controller, the new one is your best bet.
Hey guys. I'm looking for ideas for 4 player XBLA games. I currently have the following:
Scott Pilgrim
Castle Crashers
Uno
Splosion Man
Risk
I'm looking into Bomberman, but there are two versions on the marketplace and I don't know the difference between them. Also I'm not interested in FPS games for multiplayer. Any ideas?
