Game Review: "Metroid Prime: Trilogy"

This is an awesome game.
Buy it.. Now.

What do you get when you combine three of the top rated games spanning two separate platforms?  Well, if you read the title, you probably have a good clue...


Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes were ranked by IGN as #1 and #15, respectively, on the list of The Top 25 GameCube Games of All Time.  That speaks for itself.  Take those two highly successful games and put them on a disc with Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (rated 9.5 out of 10 by IGN), and you've just set yourself up for one of the best gaming collections of all time.  No joke.

Anime Review: "Strait Jacket"

Not just for straight jackets...
(there's a pun here)

Synopsis

Strait Jacket is set an alternate history where magic was proven to exist in the year 1899. The use of sorcery spread throughout society and changed the social and technological development of the world.

It was quickly discovered that abuse/overuse of magic can lead to the sorcerer being turned into a hideous, crazed abomination, generally referred to as a Demon. Demons have the undesirable characteristic of slaughtering anyone and everyone in their vicinity. Seen as a tool, a terrorist group - the Ottoman Organization - starts using Demons to deliver coordinated mayhem.

Anime Review: "Aquarion"

A cast of interesting characters
makes Aquarion a fun story

Synopsis

Set sometime in the future, it is 11 years after "The Great Catastophe," a disaster of unknown origin that has destroyed much of the planet and its inhabitants. Following the destruction, an ancient race of technologically-advanced winged humanoids, called Shadow Angels, has been awakened after a 12,000 year slumber in their city of Atlandia. The Shadow Angels view humans ("The Wingless Ones") as cattle, harvesting them for their prana (life force). Prana serves as nutrition for the legendary Tree of Life. The Shadow Angels facilitate their harvesting via large vessels called Harvest Beasts, which are closely guarded by sentient mecha called Cherubim Soldiers. Ordinary weapons prove ineffective, and humanity quickly falls into chaos and fear.
