The spectrum always seems to shift back to the left. What a terrible stroke of bad luck, and things were just starting to go right.

SO, despite that pest of an idiot being incredibly inconvenient for roughly a month, at least some good came of it. I've been trying to track down a Wii for a while, unsuccessfully, and the second time he came back he informed me that his pal was selling one. Getting one from Gamestop seemed kind of futile, since their shipment makes it so you have a very small chance of coming across one. They don't know when the shipments of Nintendos are coming in, so they tell you to randomly call them between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM, when there might possibly be some in stock.

After doing this for about two weeks to no avail, the guy calls me up and says that he's trying to sell it again. I go there, give him my $400, and get his Wii along with a bunch of extra shit that he had bought for it. On the way back home I check in to Gamestop to buy Corruption, only to have the cashier tell me that there was a Wii in the back that nobody knew about yet. Whatever.

Wii + Metroid Prime 3

Doubleplusgood like no other.

Heh, I had no trouble getting a Wii. :P

But congrats. Corruption looks pretty sweet, although I'm not a big FPS fan. Tell me all about it, man.

Well I only really bought a Wii for 3 games. So far I have Metroid, Zelda, and Super Smash is coming out in December. Metroid takes priority over Zelda, so I'm playing the hell out of it right now.

I wouldn't really call it an FPS, just like I wouldn't refer to the other ones as such. It's more a 3D adaptation of the original Metroid games, only even better. The controls felt clumsy as hell when I originally started playing, but now that I've gotten used to them they feel more natural than any other game I've ever played. I'd definitely suggest getting it since you already have a Wii, since it's definitely the best of the Prime series.

I'm not that far into it, so I can't really give a good review for it yet. I finished the first seed not too long ago and now I'm on the next planet and just got the boost ball. All the events have used the Wii controls the way they're supposed to be used, and I've run into plenty of great puzzles. Hopefully I'll get a beam upgrade soon, since I'm still using the one I started out with after about 10 hours of playing.

Not liking FPS games shouldn't put you off playing it. Other people have called it a "first person adventure" which is a bit more accurate.
