This is my all-time favorite Nintendo game. Super Metroid is certainly the best side-scrolling adventure game ever made. This game is just so great I can do nothing but gush about it! It’s well over a decade old and I still play it regularly. In fact I’m going to download it for the Wii’s Virtual Console right now.

Why it's taking me forever to finish consuming "nintendo wii"

I finally got mine last week and I love it! Not only are the games I have excellent (Super Paper Mario, Zelda) but I can now download my all time favorite Nintendo game—Super Metroid!

Worth it only if you get it cheap and are a long time fan (rated 2 stars)

Hunters of Dune

by Brian Herbert

I’ve read all of Frank Herbert’s Dune stories and, unfortunately, all of Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson’s Dune stories. The latter definitely do not hold up to the originals. Herbert Sr.’s Dune was a discussion on religion, politics, economics, environmental stewardship, the human condition and more. Herbert the Younger’s stories lack any of this depth and are cut from the vapid mold of space operas like Star Wars. That is to say this is not The Worst Story Ever Told, just The Worst Possible Conclusion to Dune (Part 1).

Why I recommend "Salt: A World History"

Salt: A World History

by Mark Kurlansky

An excellent book. This story of salt throughout is so compelling that I sped through this book faster than usual.
