Too Much Awesome

So Kyle and I are heading to PAX for a while to interview as many people as we can. How we got passes to PAX is a mystery all in itself, but the bottom line is that we’ll be doing and seeing some fun stuff, so we want to know if there’s anything you faithful [...]

Guess what comes out on the 31st? Metroid: Other M. I’ll have a review for that eventually, but in the meantime, I wanted to take the time to write about my experiences with the Metroid series, a series that is seriously fantastic.
