I get on expecting to see a MP 3 launch site and other things but nope nothing :( Bioshock got one days before its release.

Also maybe a sticky for disscussion of the game here in system wars. But no and look they got a Halo 3 sticky when that game is a month away.

Aigh come on......

I agree, it is strange for them not to have something up. Makes you wonder what sort of score they have waiting.

Yeah, I wanted at least a Launch Center feature. We were anticipating the game since the first footage of the Wii....

That's because they're going to give it a AA for being too much like metroid and not having chain saws.

Well since it doesn't have a Microsoft logo on the front of the box, Jeffy will prolly bury it with his score, touting midi sound or "lack of blah blah...".

Evey single Wii in North America lit up a few weeks ago to invite them to download the Metroid Channel.

Well, you DO see MP3 ads all over this site, and then theres the preview channel, and the nintendo website is very much hyping it. The only thing we haven't seen are TV spots.

Probably because they didn't have their advanced copy yet. The Bioshock copies were sent out very early (which is why there were so many reviews up before the game launched), so it would have been easy to do a launch center feature. But without a copy of MP3 I guess GS doesn't want to hype up a launch center so we can watch Jeff and a couple of other guys sit around waiting for the UPS guy to show up.

Actually... it's because of embargo. IGN has their review typed up and waiting to publish it until Monday morning at 12:01AM.

the Metroid Prime series is the most under appreciated "series" of all time. 9.7 AAA GOTY and 9.1 AAA and still this game recieves little to no respect. Metroid Prime 3 won't get any either.

Thing is, Samus isn't a silent protagonist like Link. She has spoken in three games in the series already and grunted in two.

Gamespot doesn't like hyping games its editors aren't interested in. Isn't that obvious?

I'm surprised a little too. With as much as everyone (with credibility) has praised it, it is a little odd. But with the load of PS3 and 360 titles to hype and let people down, it's hard to slip in a Nintendo game to hype and NOT disappoint everyone.

Halo 3 already has a launch center so that can't be the reason. Metroid Prime has always been a relatively under-appreciated series, just look at the sales of the first 2 games if you need evidence of that.

I agree. That's also the reason why Bioshock didn't get 9.5, because there were no chainsaws in the game.

If this game gets Gertsed im gonna be pissed.

Seriously, I played it at PAX yesterday and i can tell u now that it is worth a 9.0, unless the whole rest of the game completely sucks (which is doubtful).

GS has gone downhill since Greg K. left, I don't take their reviews nearly as seriously anymore.

Prime 3 probably requires more thinking than the remaining members are used to. Besides, its been quite obvious that they don't care much for the Wii.

Check out IGN for MUCH better coverage on the next installment of one of the 2 best series in Gaming history (Zelda and Metroid are inarguably the top 2).

From what I've been hearing, it seems to be a very long game, so it might just be taking them a while to finish.

There are now over 10 million Wii owners and growing......i dont see the problem with that. The Wii has not needed a "killer app" to move consoles...am i right?

You don't know what trash is.

What does the first game have to do with the third game? Lmfao. Remember: The score decline between MP1 and MP2 (.6) was greater than the score decline between Halo 1 and Halo 2 (.3) ;)

If the pattern continues : MP3 = 8.5Halo 3 = 9.0 ;)
