Well, I don't feel like giving the full on review here at work, but I will tell you that Metroid Prime: Corruption is one of the funnest FPS you can get on a console that's about as close to a keyboard/mouse combo your ever going to feel. The controls are very intuitive and the story is gripping, although you are shoehorned through much of the story, with only one path (typical for a FPS). There were three things I disliked comming from a computer standpoint: one was the inability to adjust the swivel setting (the speed at which you turn around 180-style); it's set to dreadfully slow; the next was the inabilty to fully look UP, although I'm to understand this is intentional as a limitation of your Metroid suit; last, in this day in age with Halo and the Wii being wi-fi and all, where the HELL IS THE MULTIPLAYER action? IMO, Nintendo really dropped the ball on this, but hey, beggers can't be choosers, right? It's still a great game and I do recommend it!
The next game I got was Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party. Wow... just wow! It's one of the funest DDR games I think I've ever played; the addition of the wii-mote and nunchucks makes it quite an intense game - I'm still on Beginner, but I never was that good at DDR games. The kids in arcads make it look so damn easy, but trust me, it's not. It's like skating or rollerblading - you WILL look like a fool doing it unless you practice, practice, practice. If your willing to put in the hours, you will look and feel great doing it, and get in shape - I think I seriously lost 3 pounds sweating so much playing this game. Who needs a gym membership when you got DDR:HP, lol.
