Fans of the Metroid… games will love this papercraft Samus Aran. The 6′-10″ tall model was created by Flickr user IAmThatOneGuy. Oh yeah, him. I know that guy. Believe it or not, this awesome Samus figure was made out of nothing but paper and glue. And dreams. Dreams of a

Looking to complete that Samus Aran costume with something that is actually functional? Of course you are. Samus is nothing without her arm cannon after all. This one not only looks good, it acts as a Wii-mote for playing Wii games.…

Nintendo should partner with Namco Bandai and Flickr user/designer/future toy magnate Ty Lettau and make these model kits a reality. They could name it Ninpla. I only want 1% share of all your earnings in exchange for that name. You’re welcome.…

Metroid: Other M will be released at the end of this month, and to ramp up the hype, Nintendo turns to one of it’s greatest strengths – tradition. The latest trailer for the game recaps the story so far, from the original Metroid… to present day.

Halloween-party-throwing foodie gamers – is that a demographic? If so, folks, it’s your day. If you have been dying to suck the sugar-force from a gelatinous Metroid, don’t worry. You’re covered.

Strawberries, green jello, apple… and no strong stomach required. For something that shouldn’t be appetizing, this really is. Delicious…

If I was asked what video game head-to-head I’d like to see, I’d probably say Sam Fisher against Solid Snake. Or all of the characters in Final Fantasy, villains included, against all the Suikoden characters. Mmmmm want. But I didn’t think of this …match-up, one that certainly makes sense,

Oh, Samus. Even when you’re all sexed up in your Zero Suit, or Justin Baileyed into your bikini, you’re still supposed to be an icon of female strength and power (and just generally bad to the bone). But in amigurumi form, you’re reduced to abject cuteness. For shame!
