After all, the Metroid franchise is one of the most highly regarded in gaming history, and it's tough to live up to such high expectations. Shadow Complex, on the other hand, embraces the "Metroid clone" wholeheartedly. Every aspect of the game is inspired in some way by Samus Aran. One of the in-game achievements is even called "Jason Bailey," a reference to the infamous "Justin Bailey" code for the original Metroid. In some ways, the game feels like a lost spin-off instead of its own franchise. The end result is a game that is Metroid through and through, although we're missing the vampiric space jellyfish. Considering we haven't seen a new 2-D Metroid since the GBA's Metroid Fusion, the concept of more Metroid-style gameplay, even without Samus Aran, is deeply welcome."

Neil writes "It’s Tuesday again and that can only mean one thing – it’s time for another Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale. What bargains will be in place on Xbox One and Xbox 360 between the 3rd-9th May 2016?
There are a whole ton of them and surely this is the week for you to crack open the wallet?"
Quite a big sale but not entirely convinced all are decent deals. Glad to see the 360 gets a few more offers this week. I wish Screamride was on sale by itself!
Gears Ultimate Day 1 Edition? I can understand picking up day 1 physical editions at later dates, that were stuck in the retail channel for whatever reason. Late "day 1" digital sales make no sense at all though.
This is the 5th or 6th time they've had Battlefront on "sale" in the last few months
Still overpriced imo
It's a great game. Loving it.
