    Why is Metroid Prime 2's subtitle Echoes?

    This is just something I've always wondered. MP3 Corruption makes sense since the Phazon is infecting Samus's suit, but why is MP2 called Echoes? Is it a reference to the dark aether being an "echo" of light aether? What're your thoughts?

    Any other Video Game Sales Dates?

    Plain and simple- I want to get a Wii U bundle, but at the same time don't want to wait all the way till next Black Friday to get a good deal. Are there any other prominent sales dates before that? Thanks fellow gamers!

    Does Donkey Kong Country 3 get more hate than it deserves?

    So I grew up playing the first two DKC games (my dad never got the 3rd for whatever reason) and whenever I read an article ranking the DKC games, it always puts DKC3 last. Recently, I played through DKC3 and here are my thoughts on the pros/cons: Pros: Best overworld map in the series Most...

    Progressing in Fallout 3?

    I'm a huge fan of Oblivion, so I got the GOTY edition of Fallout 3 and after playing through the mandatory exposition and getting to the open world and doing some missions, I have to say I just don't know how to progress further. Like, it's hard to explain, but I'm basically stuck in Megaton...

    Problem with Batman: No Man's Land

    So I finished the No Man's Land comic and I was bothered by the way they used Superman. Basically he just comes to Gotham, realizes that this'll take a long time to resolve, and then leaves. I get what the writers were trying to say- that this isn't a problem you can solve with just...

    General Classic Unlimited Wallet

    What would you guys say to the idea of an unlimited wallet? Honestly, the whole need to keep upgrading your wallet has been a negative part of the franchise IMO. Why should we have a limit?

    Am I the Only One....

    Who liked Superman TAS over Batman TAS? Both were magnificent shows, but it seems to me that Batman often gets cast above b/c it came first. I get that it was revolutionary, but for me, Superman was a more interesting. I mean, you can't go wrong with flight and heat vision. Granted it wasn't as...

    Are Video Games Art?

    I'm just wondering what everyone's opinion on the matter is. Two notable dissenters were the late film critic Roger Ebert (may he RIP) and MGS creator Hideo Kojima. Ebert's argument was: "One obvious difference between art and games is that you can win a game. It has rules, points...

    Why is Ridley Samus's Archenemy?

    The archenemy of any character, in my opinion, is the villain who can really represent the darker side of the hero's personality. Bowser shows us how Mario could very easily turn his power into ruling the Mushroom Kingdom as a dictatorship while Ganondorf shows us how power can very easily shift...

    I Can't Finish Shadow of the Colossus

    Call me what you want, but Shadow of the Colossus has filled me with so much remorse. It feels completely wrong to kill all these colossi as they seem innocent. If they were terrorizing a village or something that would be different, but they just seem to be minding their own business and we...

    How to Enjoy Games Again?

    So I've been playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 and I realized about halfway through the game that I'm not playing it for the sake of enjoyment; i'm just playing it for the sake of beating it. And this is something I realized has been happening for some time now, whether it be Super Paper Mario...

    Okami: PS3 Vs Wii

    So I want to get Okami after all this time, but I'm wondering which system to get it for (I have both). I know a lotta people are inclined to say ps3 for the HD, but I honestly don't really want to factor that in as, if an art style is good enough I'll appreciate it regardless of SD or HD...

    What's Something Unusual That Turned You Off About a Game?

    Have you guys ever found yourselves playing a game and, whether enjoying it or not, you've been trying to complete it and then you found something or did something or found out something within the game that just turned you off to it and you quit w/o ever completing it? For me, this happened...

    What's a Game You Just Couldn't Get into and Why?

    Hey guys, I just wanted to have a healthy debate about games that gamers couldn't get into and why. Note that this isn't about games that you hate or were bored with, but just games that you weren't able to get into that have a good fan-base. For me, it'd have to be Dishonored. Don't get me...

    General Zelda A More Vulnerable Link

    So after playing through the Eldin Volcano's Song of Hero section and watching Iron Man 3, I have to ask the community how you would feel about a section in a future Zelda game that featured a vulnerable Link. You would lose your sword and shield and have to make strategic decisions as you...

    General Zelda Boss+Temple Hybrid

    As much as I hate God of War (and trust me, that hate is pretty big), one thing I will commend about it was the Chronos fight, which was both a level and a boss fight in one. My question to you is this- since we always follow this pattern of temple to boss (with minibosses in-between of...

    General Zelda What Series Would You Like a Possible Future Zelda Game Crossover With?

    If Nintendo were to create a crossover game (I do not mean like SSB btw, but an action-adventure platformer) between Zelda and another franchise (Nintendo-only obviously), which one do you think would make a good game? This idea was inspired by the Star Fox cameo that was going to be in Ura...

    General Zelda If You Could Rename a Zelda Game, What Would You Rename It?

    Take any of the Legend of Zelda games (console or handheld) and pick which one you felt the title did not really fit the game as some other name would have. To me, Phantom Hourglass and Skyward Sword weren't that fitting of titles. Since I cannot think of an alternative to PH, I'll go with SS...

    Breath of the Wild Why is Nintendo Remaking the Wind Waker for Wii U?

    Just so I get this outta the way- this is not an attack on the WW, just an honest question. From what I heard, WW wasn't as big a success as Nintendo wanted it to be and I guess the art style still has problems with SOME gamers to this day. I know they already did an OoT port for the 3DS, but...

    General Zelda If the Zelda Franchise Was Just Released....

    So, as some of you who are subscribed to Game Informer may know, I think like three issues back there was this article about "If Mario were to be released today, it would not be popular". Obviously, I was not a fan of it, but it did sadly get me thinking :sad: Anyway, I will discuss that...

    General Zelda Has Anyone else Grown to Look to the Timeline?

    You know, when I first read the Zelda timeline given, I was just like "Forget that, I am just going to play the games as though it is the same Link pulling a Doctor Who". But the strange thing I found myself doing after Zelda 3DS was announced, was looking for news regarding where it fit on the...

    General Zelda Being Able to Keep Playing After Beating the Game?

    Would anyone else like this feature to be implemented in future Zelda games? In games such as Bioshock where sidequests are not heavily featured, I am fine with this feature. But in Mass Effect and the Zelda series, I feel like it should be implemented. Even modes such as Hero Mode do not feel...

    General Zelda When Have You Felt the Most Badass?

    Name a moment in any LoZ game where you truly felt like a badass. Personally, mine would have to be the during the 3rd silent realm in SS. I had run out of time and I had to get the last spirit bead thing that was on that slope you have to slide down on. Basically, I had missed it several...

    Batman: Arkham Origins Vs Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    Which game do you think will be better? Personally, I am betting on Arkham Origins as Assassin's Creed has become a yearly franchise now, and I feel like that will reflect on the quality of the game as it did in ACIII....). Despite AO getting a new developer, after reading the Game Informer...

    Ocarina of Time What's Something That OoT64 Did/does Better Than OoT3DS?

    I am planning on getting both versions (64 first), but I wanted to ask everyone who's played both if they could name something that the original did better than the 3DS remake. Obviously, the 3DS one is superior technologically speaking (and Water Dungeon speaking xD), but if you could name...

    If a National Video Game Registry Were to Be Created, What Games Should Be in It?

    Remember, the requirements are that the game either be "Culturally, Historically, or Aesthetically significant". Let us also use common sense when listing please. For me, here is what I would put: Super Mario 64 Ocarina of Time Donkey Kong Country Donkey Kong Country 2 Assassin's Creed Call...

    General Zelda Something You Used to Dislike Yet Have Grown to Like Now.

    What's something in the LoZ franchise that you used to dislike but have come to like now? It could be a dungeon, character, race, area, item, etc.... For me, it'd have to be the Mysterious Woods in Link's Awakening. It used to confuse me as a kid a lot, but now I've come to really like the...

    General Zelda Would You Like More Romance in Future Titles of The Legend of Zelda?

    I know it may seem a little strange for a guy to be asking this, but I have always wondered how the majority feel on this issue. In SS, we did get a little bit more of character development between Link and Zelda's relationship, but it was still left pretty ambiguous (IMO). So if Yes, to what...

    Twilight Princess What is the Blood Extent in Twilight Princess?

    So I'm about to get Twilight Princess and was wondering how bad the blood content is in the game. The game says it's rated T for animated blood. Then again, SS also said it had animated blood but I didn't see any, though SS was E-10, not T. As a fan of the Assassin's Creed series, I have no...

    General Classic If You Had to Pick a Mario Game Over a Zelda Game Each Generation

    Obviously this being a Zelda site, I have no doubt the majority would favor an LoZ game over a Mario game. However, if you did have to pick one comparison where you felt the Mario game triumphed over the Zelda one, which would you pick? Super Mario 64 vs Ocarina of Time and/or Majora's Mask...

    General Classic How Well Has Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past Aged?

Anyway, the question is in the title, but to give a little back-story my first Zelda game was actually Majora's Mask, but I kinda had a bad experience with it (friends of mine who love Majora's Mask have told me that MM isn't a...
