To wrap up the week and put a bow on the fine work of JD, some of the staff have contributed their first encounter with the series and some unique memories of their experiences.
The Metroid series is one like no other. It offers a unique experience that has rarely been replicated in 2D and stands completely alone in 3D. Nearly every entry in the series is extremely highly regarded and for many, games like Metroid Prime and Super Metroid are among the best games ever created. Being such prolific games, the PixlBit staff has decided to provide some memories they have of the games and their first encounter with the series.
Today, Sony announced that the PlayStation 3 is officially dropping in price across both models.
Earlier today at Gamescom, Sony revealed a $50 price cut for both models of the PlayStation 3, bringing the 160GB slim model down to $250 and the 320GB slim model to $300. In addition to the price cuts, at select retailers across America, Sony is running a limited-time special bundle for $300, which will include the 320GB system, a copy of inFamous 2, and a 30 day PlayStation Plus trial. The price drop is effective immediately, allowing newcomers to jump in without a wait.

A rundown of the multiplayer mode, plus footage!
Assassin's Creed was a brand new experience for me and a fun last game on my second day at E3. In the multiplayer mode I got to try, two sides faced off as either assassin or prey in a castle courtyard in Constantinople. The prey would run off and try to blend in among the inhabitants and the assassins would – can you guess? – that's right, they'd hunt them down and kill them. Boy, you're good at guessing.
This metroidvania game puts an extremely compelling spin on the tried-and-true formula.
Metroidvania games are unquestionably some of my favorites. While there aren’t too many produced outside of the titles from where the subgenre name is lifted, they are often a treat when they become available. Outland is no exception to this rule, offering up a 2D platformer that places a far greater focus on its action elements, requiring players to master movement, attacking, and timely switching between a light/dark mechanic.
