Feature: Where were our favorite video game characters in high school?

With all of the world saving and other heroic deeds they’re known for now, it’s easy to forget that our favorite game characters were once regular old kids who went through the same traumatic high school experiences as the rest of us. Okay, so maybe that completely negates the canon of most of these franchises, but it’s still fun to think where Sub-zero fell in the social circle of that bizarre microcosm of life we call high school.

Reactions: Metroid Prime trilogy to be bundled into one cheap package

Pow!

Pow!

Looking for some decent games to play with your Wii? Wait…that came out wrong. Anyways, according to GameSpot, Nintendo will be bundling Samus Aran’s 2007 Wii debut, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption with the GameCube’s Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes in a one disc package. The GameCube titles will be updated to feature motion controls similar to those found in Corruption in addition to extra unlockables. The trilogy is due for release on August 24th for the low, low price of $49.99. That’s a pretty good value.
