This is the first one of these I've listened to. That guy can sure monologue! I would run out of things to say after 10 minutes.

55 times, even. I'm sure that guy knows what he's doing well enough. I'll bet it'd be easier with commercial breaks. All lot of these have absolutely no cuts...

Also... Last week's was better. Check it out.

After further checks, Monster Hunter Tri actually does use analogue movement for the Y axis of the camera when swimming. However, it doesn't seem to matter how much the stick is pressed, and the camera will move at the same speed even if the stick is tilted slightly up/down. This is probably why the water sections were removed entirely from the PSP version of Monster Hunter Tri, although it would likely function the same way were a D-pad/buttons used.

Swimming was definitely nothing to write home about before in Monster Hunter tri/3. If I did care much that it was getting a "G" version, I would not be happy to hear swimming is returning.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Review

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen an entry in the Metroid Prime series - 18 years, in fact. It was 8 years ago that Metroid Prime 4 was originally announced and its development was more than a little turbulent. Initially developed by Bandai Namco, it was later scrapped completely and development was shifted back to Retro Studios to start the project over. In the end, Retro has delivered a solid new entry in the series, but one that doesn’t totally capture what originally made the series so compelling.
