Astro Galaxy Mega Quest VIIII: The Half Moon of Ray'don, Chapter 008.52 - Sci/Psy/Psi/SighBots of the Past (Historical Simulation Series)...

...Editor's Choice Edition





This was built months ago but it never got released. So now I am releasing it.

Take control of the Master Chef and, with the help of his lovely sidekick, brave danger and certain death in order to make your way into a base on a planet far from your home! Left click interacts, right click looks.

This game was designed to recapture the feeling I got when playing classic Sierra adventures as a kid (and still get!). Characters graphics by AngelicCharon. Music by funkmast. Assistance in various ways including writing by kaputtnik. The rest by me.

PS: Sorry.

Metroid Prime (Wii)



Metroid Prime is the best Metroid game I've ever played.

It's also the only Metroid game I've ever played.

Well, not actually, I played a few minutes of Metroid Prime Hunters on a friend's DS but that was years ago and I don't actually remember any of it. So I stick to my previous statement.

Anyhow. The short of it:

Positives:

-The graphics... this is an 8 year old Gamecube game ported to Wii controls and it still looks great. Lots of detail and lovely effects despite the fairly low poly graphics.
-Gameplay is so darn well balanced that most other FPS games I've played are just lazy in comparison. Exploration is encouraged and rewarded.
-Midi music that still sounds great.

Negatives:

-Not today, folks.

Metroid Prime is awesome. I loved it quite a bit. Good game, really it is. And it came in the Metroid Prime Trilogy... so I still have 2 sequels to puzzle and blast my way through!
