I'm honestly surprised this game didn't come up yet. The general gist of the gameplay is that it plays like an homage to Super Metroid, and apparently it's quite fun.

Review here.

I've been hearing a lot about this game and how it's good, but there's something of a biggish controversy over the game itself as well due to it borrowing from Orson Scott Card's literature. Needless to say, that's drowning out the game itself and it's sad, but reading up on Card, it seems like it's not without merits.

Real men don't play with balls? XD

I read somewhere that OSC probably isn't even getting any royalties from it. While his views are indeed... questionable... it would be a shame to miss out on a good game over someone's outdated views.

there hasn't been talk about the game here yet because i haven't gotten it yet.

i read Kotaku's article on the controversy last night. just because the game's story is inspired by the work of a homophobe, people won't buy it? to be frank, it's stupid. the game's story doesn't carry any anti-gay messages as far as i've heard, and Card isn't getting any money out of it like Fxeni said.

i don't agree with Card's beliefs either, but that's not going to make me not play the game. i hate the environments too, and soemthing tells me i won't care for the story. but again, that doesn't factor into my decision to play the game. i'm going to play the game because of the gameplay. it's a [tornado fang]ing Metroid game for crying out loud. and Mama Sato loves her Metroid.

just beat the game. it met my every expectation, and even exceeded it. it's GOTY material. the final fight blew me away. pun not intended.
