  • Bioshock demo now up on XBL

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

I've played both Metroids on the GameCube. Loved both games. However, the game mostly makes up for the control set by putting in a lot of auto-aiming. I can't imagine a game like Halo putting in auto-aiming. The whole gaming community would be calling that cheating.

Or does Halo really do implement auto-aiming?

Don't forget, Metroid 3 will be using the Wiimote aim/Nunchuck move combo. Much closer to keyboard/mouse than a controller.

I don't think Halo had auto aiming. Metroid isn't a FPS and they designed it to not be a hassle to play. I prefer it that way for a game which does not have hectic, twitching combat at its core
