Here's the synposis of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: "The Prime chronicle concludes! Six months have passed since the events on the planet Aether. The Galactic Federation's network computers, the Aurora Units, are suddenly and completely corrupted with a virus. The Federation believes Space Pirates may be behind it and contracts bounty hunters, including Samus, to locate and neutralize the perpetrators. But, as Samus will discover, the corruption of Aurora Unit is just the first victim of a terrible force unleashed upon the galaxy."

Reviews so far seem highly favorable of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption:
- IGN: 9.5 out of 10
- GameSpot: 8.5 out of 10
- Nintendo Power: 10 out of 10
- 1UP: 9 out of 10
- GameTrailers: 9.6 out of 10

This looks like one of the first Wii games to push the graphics on the Wii console. A reviewer on 1up even went so far to say: "Amazing as it is to say about a Wii game, Corruption contains some of the best visuals in gaming, period." 2007 is rounding out to be the year of the FPS games, with BioShock sweeping it up for the Xbox 360 and more games down the road for 2007 like Halo 3, Unreal Tournament III (PS3) and Call of Duty 4.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is available today from retailers for $49.99. I'll bring you my impressions of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption later this week! You bet I'll be juggling Metroid 3 and BioShock this week!

NINTENDO'S EPIC TRILOGY CONCLUDES WITH METROID PRIME 3: CORRUPTION

First-Person Controls Immerse Players Like Never Before

REDMOND, Wash., Aug. 27, 2007 – Today's launch of Metroid® Prime 3: Corruption for Wii™ marks the end of a trilogy – and the start of the most active and dynamic Metroid adventure yet. With the motion-sensitive Wii Remote, you become one with heroine Samus Aran's powerful arm cannon, while the Nunchuk can literally yank armor off enemies.

"Metroid Prime 3 has a revolutionary control style that makes it easy for anyone to immediately jump into the action," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Now, an entirely new audience can experience this amazing first-person adventure."

The rich story requires players to use their heads as much as their hands. Complex puzzles, tough enemies and new challenges put players inside the visor of the story's heroine. As deadly Phazon threatens to corrupt Samus, she harnesses its power and attacks her enemies with superpowered weapons. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption features voice acting, new bounty hunters and three adjustable control settings for players of all skill levels.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, rated T for Teen, launches today exclusively for Wii. The game's launch represents the culmination of Nintendo's "Month of Metroid," which has featured free Metroid Prime 3: Corruption videos available for download in the Wii Shop Channel and the release of the classic Metroid® and Super Metroid® for the Virtual Console™.

Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other Wii features, visit Wii.com.
