Den's Game Corner

2017 has been an interesting year for me, not only in terms of this Youtube channel, but also my personal life. And while I don't want to/can't necessarily go into detail about those matters, I can say with certainty that this year has challenged me in a way I never thought I'd be challenged.

I started off the first half of the year fairly well, I'd say; I released the FEZ review on New Year's

These games sell because what they do works , and that’s what’s most important. So what does this all have to do with Metroid Fusion? Well, like I said, Metroid Fusion is different , and that’s okay. The Geek Critique made an excellent point in his video on Metroid Fusion in that if Nintendo wanted to make Super Metroid 2, they would have. That one point alone massively contributed to changing my perspective on this game. Two years ago, I went on a bit of a tirade on Metroid Fusion
