Metroid Prime (Game Cube)

Description
Metroid Prime is an action-packed adventure set in the first-person perspective that takes place just after the events in the original Metroid (NES). It has lead character Samus Aran, a bounty hunter by trade, chasing down the evil Space Pirates. Their intention is to use a genetic mutagen called Phazon to create a super army and take over the universe. While the installments in the series before have never been home to deeply involving storylines, Metroid Prime breaks the shell to offer up one of the most intriguing and read-worthy sagas yet. Developed by Texas-based Retro Studios. Metroid Prime brings all of the elements of the acclaimed franchise into a gaping 3D arena.

        Metroid at it's prime

      The infamous bounty Hunter, Samus Aran, is finally back and in her first Gamecube game. Metroid Prime boasts a new experience for any Metroid fan, a first person shooter system. The player sees the world through Samus's eyes (or rather her helmet) and gains a new feeling toward the Metroid story. The Space Pirates are back and up to no good as they are now conducting wicked experiments using a newly discovered mutagen. This stuff can turn even the weakest monster into a vicious predator. Samus reunites with an old world and old enemies as her past is made more clear to us and we see just how horrible the pirates can be. Aside from offering a new view on Metroid, this game also could be known for it's fear factor. The music matches the mood and often while you are playing the game, you may get a shiver down your spine as a hidden creature shrieks and hops out of nowhere while there is complete silence or a scary tune playing. The Gamecube controller perfectly matches the game and isin't at all hard to get used to. Aside from scaring you from time to time, this game will give you hours of entertainment. If you like this game, you should check out it's sequel.

        WOULDNT CHANGE A THING!!!!!

      I am a big fan of the Metroid Prime series and when I heard it was coming to the Nintendo DS and went out and bought it right away. When I got home I immediately started adventure mode. It is very challenging finding out where to go and what tunnels and paths to take but I finally made it and I'm about halfway done with adventure mode. I also heard this game has great multiplayer so I went over to my friends house and we played the multi-player it was absolutely amazing it was just so much fun because we knew where eachother were and I enjoyed it. I can't wait to play it on wi-fi connection. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes a good first -person shooter type game.

      I’m sure you've seen various 'free' gift scams on the Internet, but the following offers are NOT scams in any way, shape or form. This method has been covered by respectable sources such as CNN, MSNBC, Fox, Wired and G4.
      The reason these companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all the referrals. All you have to do is post it on eBay. They use us as advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money that goes toward yours and my free gift.

      There are many well known legitimate offers to choose from such as Blockbuster online, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use them to get a free PS3 or cash. Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer a few people (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link.
      Step 1: Click this link
      http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=4991526
      Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and best).
      Step 3: Complete just 1 free trial offer (like Stamps.com, You will start a trial and can cancel it right after with no charge at all.)
      Step 4: Refer to people to do the same. Just do what I’m doing and use eBay.
      Step 5: Receive your PS3 for FREE!

      company that is behind everything.
