August roundup - Metroid, BioShock, Virtual Console, and Sony

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption was released on Tuesday. It has a 91% average review, according to Game Rankings. Nintendo Power gave the game a 10/10, which is surprising, as only one other game - the Gamecube version of Resident Evil 4 - has received a 10/10 from Nintendo Power. The only review not in the 90s or higher is GameSpot, which gave MP3 an 8.5.

As a buildup to the release of MP3, Nintendo released the original Metroid on the Virtual Console on August 13, followed by Super Metroid on August 20. This is the first time Super Metroid has been re-released since the Super Nintendo era. If you haven’t played this, go download it now!

You may also have heard of some little game called BioShock that’s making the rounds right now. If you haven’t heard about it, don’t worry. It’s only the fourth best game ever. It’s available now on both PC and Xbox 360.

According to a press release, Sony is releasing a white PS2 packaged with SingStar and 2 mics. The MSRP is $150. I think we all know what console they may be trying to emulate.
