100% completion for Metroid Prime in 14:02. All I can say is wow. What an experience. It feels great to have finally seen the ending all these years after I first got the original release of the game.

Prime was probably my favourite gamecube game. It's definitely my favourite wii game by a long stretch. I have no hesitations in calling it a classic, and one of the best games I've ever played. It's a must play game IMO for anyone with either a wii or a gamecube.

I definitely need to take a bit of a Metroid break before starting Echoes. Feels like I need to let the rush settle down before I can look at another in the series without risking becoming burned out or muddling it all into one sprawling mess in my mind.

The voice acting is terrific, they even brought Mark Hamill to voice The Joker. And finally, the thing I enjoyed the most, the extremely addicting Riddler Challenges and riddles. Despite the replay value deal, this game is great and it wouldn't be wise to pass it up, and a rental should do it if you're that uninterested.

This was a pretty boring year for me in terms of gaming, and this was the only non-casual game that forced me to wipe the dust off my 360.
It's a few dozen statements like this which convinced me I needed to try the game even though I don't like batman or superheroes. Shopto were offering it at a decent price and I get discount with them because of who I work for, so I have a copy and I shall probably tackle it after Mini Ninjas. After Metroid Prime I feel the need for something simple and relatively easy; the final half of that game was pretty challenging.
