You have waited much too long to be denied. Super Metroid was released in April of 1994 and since then there has been a nagging question in the back of your mind: When will Samus return? Do not fret. Open season on Metroids has begun. * It is Prime Time Metroid Prime is a first-person adventure game. Players control a bounty hunter named Samus Aran who must unravel a mystery behind the ruined walls scattered across Tallon IV. The game opens just as Samus spaceship docks on a Space Pirate vessel orbiting the planet. Immediately the beautiful graphics slap you across the face. Trust us its a firm slap. A silky-smooth framerate accommodates razor-sharp visuals of efficient machinery and foreign architecture. Meanwhile a cinematic soundtrack sets the mood and eerie sound effects thicken the alien atmosphere. By far the most effective visual effect is that everything you see is viewed through Samuss visor. The entire screen has a convex look and a digital display provides information ranging from current energy levels to ammunition data. The most effective ideas are sometimes the most simple and the visor view in Metroid Prime makes a huge leap forward in immersing players in the first-person perspective. Samus uses a Power Beam to shoot a series of locked switches and eventually enters a cylindrical corridor very similar to the passageways found in the original Metroid titles. When Samus strides by broken pipes spewing steam the visor becomes smeared with condensation. Later in the demo the visor is splattered with the internal juices of ruptured enemy carcasses. Yes life within Samus gravity suit is a beautiful thing. Weapon effects are equally pleasing. Hold the A Button to juice up the Charge Beam and you see the corridor glow and warp as the blast travels through space. Enemy animation is delightfully disgusting whether its a ...Metroid Prime 2: Echoes NintendoHunted by a mysterious entity and a warring race called the Ing, Samus Aran must explore the light and dark worlds of this doomed planet to discover secrets and augment her suit's weapons and abilities.

Now you can play these classic arcade games and others once again. Namco brings back Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Galaxian, Dig-Dug and Pole Position.NBA Street Electronic ArtsNBA Street is the best arcade basketball title available. Period. Why? No refs, no clocks, and no fouls. Players will knock you over, and they practically live for blatant goaltending throughout the game. Realistic? No, but it's always fun—even if you hate basketball.
Street has two game modes—City Circuit and Hold the Court—yet the differences are minimal. Both feature three-on-three games of 21, in which you must assemble a squad composed of (initially) NBA players. Soon you'll play against street legends (read: bosses) that, once defeated, can be added to your team. Your ultimate goal is to defeat the biggest legend ever—Michael Jordan.
To survive the streets, you must learn which buttons to mash as you master specific stunts. This will add special points to your score and give you access to news ways to score. Though similar to the NBA Jam games, Street is deeper and sports a surprisingly developed finesse game.
Street does commit some fouls, however, with its over-the-top, repetitive commentary and lack of play modes. But even if you hate arcade-style basketball, you'll find Street is different from the pack and a solid MVP contender. —Mark Brooks
This review refers to the PlayStation2 version of the game.
