This month has been coined by NOA(Nintendo of America) as “The Month of Metroid”. And they have delivered. First was the release of first classic title on the NES early this month. Followed by “Super Metroid” on SNES through the virtual console.

There has been a lot of people gankin on the game, saying “it was a GameCube game, not a Wii game”. My answer to that is….so what, it’s Metroid. One of the best Nintendo franchises.

Now I can’t help but mention that tomorrow there will be some stiff competition for Samus. Out on the DS tomorrow is the sequel to the hit brain trainer “Brain Age”, which will be called, you guessed it, “Brain Age 2″, but not only that, Nintendo will be bundling it with their new colored DS Lite, which is crimson(dark red) on the top half, and onyx(black) on the bottom half.

Another HUGE release, which I have played and have a review up at Liveforxbox.com is “BioShock”. This game has been gaining and gaining more and more steam. This is going to be a trifecta of competition, so if you have the coin i recommend all three.

Here is how it works. Lets say you have about 10 games you no longer play and you don’t want to get the crappy trade in values that certain game stores give you. Well, you to Goozex, post your games in “Your Library” section. Now from there you will see what the point value of the game is; they don’t use a dollar value. You will also see your turn. The turn is your place in line to trade your game.

Once it’s time to trade your game, Goozex sends an e-mail to both you and the buyer indicating that a match has been made. Goozex provides address information, etc. You mail it off, then wait for your positive feedback. In the beginning of your account you need positive feedback to get your points. After a few trades you don’t have to wait.

Once you have points, you need to pick up trade credits which are a buck a trade and sell in blocks of 5. Now pick your game, wait in line. Now you may say “Hey! I’m in the 50th spot, well that may not hold true because the people ahead of you may not have credits or points and they will be skipped. But this is REALLY cool, I have no complaints, this is something to check out.

By the way my first trade was for “Halo 2″ for 300 points, which equates to $15 bucks! How can you not go wrong. But do research on the game you want, and make sure you’re getting the deal.

*UPDATE*
Brian is on vacation so am I, but I did have the opportunity to interview founder Jonathan Dugan. We are having that interview on the next show, which may be me doing it solo.

According to my “inside sources” we will get an “earth shattering” announcement related to the future of the VC coming this Monday 4/2/2007! You heard it here first!

Throughout this thread there was flaming left and right.  And all the original poster could do was flame back and keep saying that something incredible is happening on Monday for the VC.

Well let me say this:  “Of course we’ll find out what is going to happen, when Monday happens, it happens.”

So the poster has just made a post that has no REAL info.  If there was any info, then he/she would let it out.  If you have something to say, just say it.

 But what else are you playing?
