Metroid Musing: How Would You Rank the Series Based on How Often You Play Them?
I recently finished Metroid Fusion as part of the 20 year celebration. It didn’t sit as well with me this time around as I thought it would though, and it got me thinking. How would I rank the Metroid games now-a-days? Over the years, my tastes have change. Fusion once…

Metroid Musing: Where Should the Spin Boost and Cross Bombs Have Been Placed?

Metroid Musing: Would You Rather Know Ridley’s Origins, or Leave It a Mystery?
I remember as a kid, one of my favorite characters in any medium was Wolverine from the X-Men. Aside from being a super cool guy with a gruff demeanor, indestructible powers, cool metal claws, and a penchant for brawls, there was an air of mystery to him that made Logan…

Metroid Musing: How Can Sylux be a Threat in Metroid Prime 4?

Metroid Musing: Is Metroid Prime 3’s “Linearity” Really a Bad Thing?
