I'm guessing some of you here have your doubts about Prime, let alone think it'll turn out very good at all. Well let me tell you all right now that this is not just a "find-your-way-around-kill-baddies-stay-alive-until-the-end-of-the-level" kind of shooter. It's very atmospheric and really makes you think about what you do. Different power ups and abilities must be used to complete tasks you need to finish before you move on. Gameplay-wise, this game is going to easily be Halo 2's biggest rival. Trust me. This isn't a sh*tty Bond game like TWINE or AUF. This is top notch FPS action.
Metroid is also very impressive on the technical side. The graphics are quite awe-inspiring with a HUGE draw distance, beautiful animation, detailed character models, and tons of on-screen action. Best of all it plays at a steady sixty frames per second and never misses a beat. It's easily the best looking GameCube game yet. Certainly Halo 2 looks like it will easily be able to compete, but it's still nothing to put aside. Sound I really can't comment on, because the Cube Club was very busy and loud with the DJ and all the people. From what I could hear, the sound effects and music were quite impressive.

This is not a game that's going to flop. Easily a system seller, especially with all the marketing Nintendo is putting behind it.
