Yea a lot of people complained about that when the game was announced but it's actually a much better way of doing it.

Metroid Fusion - An absolutely brilliant game, although I'm shocked at how easy it is. I've only been playing for half an hour and I'm about a third of the way through the game (owned it years ago and beat it a few times).
Spyro Season of Ice - Actually quite a good little platformer. Seems to capture everything the PS1 Spyro games had...hard to get used to playing in an isometric viewpoint and it does suffer slightly on the GB Micro screen
GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City - Oh my god this game blows. Terrible graphics, clunky archaic controls, boring missions, horrible combat & a city that's way too big for it's own good. I mean, fair enough if you could actually go into buildings but you can't! You just spend like half a fucking hour driving from one end to the other...only to hit a toll booth or something, get chased down, shot, and have to do it all over. I cannot believe this got rated so highly

Probably the weakest of the main Metroid games due to linearity, easiness, and wordiness but it's still a Metroid and there for still amazing.
Edit: Okay it's not the weakest since NES Metroid and Metroid 2 haven't aged well at all.

Totally agree. The subsequent playthroughs are more annoying due to all the text from that robot. The first time it's interesting, the second it's alright, by the third it's like 'effing shut up and let me play'
Started Crysis 2. Wooooow. Graphically it is absolutely jaw-dropping. Not played in 3D yet (still waiting on the telly to be delivered). The way it plays is also very interesting, balancing the suit powers (which also equate to health) means you need to have a strategy before you do anything, then you need to be able to pull it off elegantly and, in the midst of everything, be creative and change it up. In that respect it almost plays like a fighting game

pretty impressive so far.

Played some Persona 3 Portable, not very far yet though. Got to the second midboss of the first block of Tartarus and started the first non-SEES social link.
Also been playing some Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst on and off.

Man, Red Alert 3 is Awsome. I prefer to go with the Allies. I like Peacekeepers. They're just Bad-ass.
And the ladies are also pretty damn hot in RA3.
Also started Medal of Honor. It has a lot of similarity to CoD. But I still prefer cod more.

Got to the second block of Tartarus, this is the point where the games all like "hah, thought I wasn't that hard? MARAGI MARAGI MARAGI MUDO". Still, getting my social links up, got a Jack Frost, and I think I aced the first exam so I'll get something from Mitsuru.
The game needs more Chie.

Finally got around to trying Klonoa on the Wii. It's an absolutely lovely little platformer! The story is snore inducingly childish and the voice-work is no better but that doesn't matter thanks to the awesome gameplay. The fact it's on the rails with branching paths makes it feel really unique, as does the jumping mechanic. It'd actually make on hell of a 3DS game..

I got this game myself (I even have the original PS1 game) and its such a good little game though I like the PS2 sequel better. And I agree this would make a great 3DS title.
