Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Dear Nintendo: Here is a totally free idea for the next Metroid game: set it on a distant planet called Beach where bounty hunter Samus is forced by an evil alien to play professional volleyball in lingerie against the Dead Or Alive girls. Despite the fact that Samus wears more clothes than a Medievel knight, we're willing to forgive her, thanks to the game's first-rate gameplay. For a first-person shooter, it controls amazingly well on the Wii. Peppering pesky Space Pirates with your various arm-cannons has never been easier, or more satisfying. And unlike the previous game in the series, Metroid Prime 3 doesn't require as much backtracking, and overall feels more like the balls-out action movie it should be. All told, a triple-A Wii title across the board.
