One of our most anticipated episodes of the year is finally here! Alien in Review is BACK to review the newest entry in the series: Fede Alvarez's Alien: Romulus! The newest Alien movie takes place in between Alien and Aliens, which is fitting as it strikes a perfect tone between the two masterpieces. Andy is joined once again by Gooey Fame to discuss Romulus in great detail! We go over the film's new cast of characters, who we liked and hope to see return, how the effects and vibe came off, what the best kills of the movie were, the new lore added to the franchise, Romulus's connections to the other entries, how this movie impacts the world of Alien going forward, and our overall review of the film! The first half is spoiler free, whereas the second half is filled with spoilers! We give a big spoiler warning, but listener beware! We also talk a little Alien: Earth, the new Hulu series being released next year and what we're hoping to see!
Alien In Review will return! In the meantime, if you like Andy and Goo talking movies, check out their other podcast Virtual Theater, a podcast about video game movies and the stories that shape them!

Following last week's show where we discussed some of our least favorite Metroid titles, Andy decided to give the single player campaign in Metroid Prime Hunters another spin to see of those critiques held up, so this week, the guys have a discussion about a bunch of different topics! We're talking about how the button vs stylus controls feel, if the game absolutely needed the Scan Visor, power ranking the various weapons Samus acquires, how the bosses stack up against others in the series, and so much more! We're delving into the good, the bad, and the ugly from Hunters' single player experience, so come let us know what you think!
All this, PLUS some cool announcements regarding new walkthroughs available on OmegaMetroid.com, and teeing up the return of Alien In Review next week as we get set for Alien Romulus!

We're back this week with a POSITIVE SPIN on some of our not-so-favorite Metroid games! We asked you what your favorite things about your least favorite Metroid games were, and we got a ton of different, positive responses! As you might imagine, lots of entries were centered around Other M and Federation Force, but from the boss fights and quality of the cutsenes in Other M to the fun co-op and customization options in Federation Force, plus the expanded world of Hunters, soundtrack of NEStroid, and actual bounty hunting found in Metroid 2, there's a lot to like this week!
Come join in on the fun as we go trough the lessor appreciated games in the series!

After a lengthy layover, our lore-centric series Logbook Archives returns! In this episode, we're asking the million dollar question in the Metroid universe: who is Sylux?? We go over everything we know about the Hunter, from in-game lore, to official game descriptions, to developer interviews to try and determine who's behind the mask. We also give our thoughts on what we would like to see and NOT see in Beyond, PLUS we're taking your theories on Sylux's identity! Everything is on the table, from the much-panned Ian Malkovich theory, to Sylux being a former operative of the galactic Federation, to thoughts on Sylux being another survivor from K2l, to Sylux.. being Samus??
Everything is on the table in this episode, so come listen and tell us your thoughts on who you think the enigmatic bounty hunter could be!

Welcome back to another week of Metroid talk! This time around, despite loving the reveal trailer for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, the guys share some of their critiques about what we saw. Each host has something a bit different that stood out to them; Doom noticed some of the animations and technical details in the trailer that underwhelmed, Dak took umbrage with the lack of new features and skills shown off, while Andy raised concerns about the timing and manner in which the trailer itself was released. There's a lot of devil's advocating in this show, so let us know if you share any of these concerns!
All this, PLUS some followup on last week's Zero Mission Definitive Ranking and a sidebar into Raven Beak and Metroid Dread's DNA storyline! Come hang out with us!

We've been wrapped up in all the Metroid Prime 4 excitement, but we can't forget that it wasn't the only big Metroid news from last month! With Metroid: Zero Mission's release on the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack in June, we decided it was time to finally do a Zero Mission Definitive Ranking! Join Dak and Doom for a full episode on Metroid: Zero Mission, where we rank the game on several different categories: story, gameplay, music, art style, and more!
Join us as we celebrate one of our favorite games in the series by revisiting Zero Mission!

It's time for Part 2 of our Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Q&A! Andy and Dak are back to tackle a whole slew of questions, including: how do we think Beams will work in terms of stacking or not? Could we see bonus content if there is a Metroid Dread save file on the Switch? Will the game be significantly larger in size than previous entries? Could there be a DLC campaign where you get to play as Sylux? Could Samus have a customizable base of operations in the game? Will Retro revisit the scrapped Meta Kraid concept cor Metroid Prime 1? What is the single best and single worst thing than Metroid Prime 4 can do?
All this and so much more are on the table, PLUS a little wrestling talk and setting up the return of a fan favorite series next week when Definitive Ranking return to examine Metroid: Zero Mission!

The gang is back talking more Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and this week, we asked all of you to get in on the action and ask us questions about Samus's upcoming adventure! We got so many questions in-fact that were breaking this into two parts! On the docket this week: should Federation Forces Slow Beam return? What are the chances Admiral Dane pops back up? If we are time travelling, what areas of a past Tallon IV would we want to see? With Sylux confirmed as the antagonist, do we still get a Ridley fight? What Prime Trilogy entry would we like to see Beyond pull from the most AND the least? Is Melee combat going to be a thing in the new game? And maybe most importantly - is Sylux actually Joey in disguise (we jest)?!
All this and so much more is discussed, plus a little video game talk about what we're currently playing. Don't miss this action packed episode, and be sure to tune into our Q&A Part 2 next week!

The band is back together again, still reeling from last weeks' incredible reveal of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. This week, we're sharing our theories on what could be going on with the story, including: is there going to be any time travel or alternative dimensions that we can travel to? What is motivating Sylux and why do they hate the Federation so much? Could see revisit planets previously seen in the Trilogy? When does this game take place in the timeline? Are those Mochtroids or a new type of Metroid that we see around Sylux? And what's going on with the Space Pirates this time around?
We're super exciting to be sharing our theories, so make sure you get in on the action by participating in our Q&A show next week!

IT'S REAL! After seven long years, we FINALLY got our first look at the newly rechristened Metroid Prime 4: Beyond! The fellas get together to break down the trailer and everything saw, from the impressive graphics to the slick HUD, offer our thoughts on Samus's design for her Power Suit and Gunship, offer thoughts on how the Scan Visor works, touch on the music and audio queues in the trailer, and of course, break down THAT moment where the world was officially introduced to Sylux! We also reflect on what this announcement means to us personally, as a collection of friends who started a weekly Metroid podcast years ago, to finally see the inspiration for the start of our journey!
We're also touching on Metroid: Zero Mission, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Perfect Dark, and some of the other major announcements from this star studded Nintendo Direct! If this is your first time listening: welcome to the Omega Metroid Podcast!
