About time.
Apr. 27th, 2003 02:33 pmIn 1986 Nintendo released a game for the NES called "Metroid". It was an instant classic in terms of graphics, in terms of gameplay and in breaking 'new' ground for the hero, Samus Aran.
If you finished Metroid in a short enough time you learned just who "Samus Aran" was. It turned out that Samus is female.
Even today, with more female heros in games and movies, there aren't really that many.
Metroid Prime has now been released, and you take on the part of Samus, from within her suit. I find this all wonderfully refreshing. And boy, can she kick butt!
