Metroid Prime on Nintendo Gamecube

Metroid Prime is a video game developed by Retro Studios and Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube, released in North America on November 17, 2002. It is the first 3D game in the Metroid series, the fifth main installment, and is classified by Nintendo as a first-person adventure rather than a first-person shooter, due to the large exploration component of the game and its precedence over combat. Metroid Prime, along with the Game Boy Advance game Metroid Fusion, that was released alongside it on the same day in North America, marked the return of the Metroid series after eight years – the last game in the franchise had been 1994's Super Metroid.

This game will always be special to me. I have a lot of "favorite games of all time", but this always comes out on top for me. It's simply a masterpiece.

I was probably ten years old when i went to a videogame store and picked this one up from the shelve, at the time i had no knowledge about the game or the series but i remember looking at the cover and the images on the back and thinking to myself, "This might be cool". Little did i knew that this game would have such an impact on me, as one of the first fps's i've ever played it made me love the genre, the story and world that retro studios created is simply phenomenal.

Well I didn't play this when it first came out, so I'm completely at odds with the "revelations" upon release sort of reaction. It does a lot of the supposedly 'impossible' remarkably well, but gets boring very, very often (especially towards the end). Bosses are a bore-fest. Good thing they later improved almost everything in Prime 2.
