Here's a look at our original reviews of Metroid Prime from back in the day. Back when print was a thing and your lowly co-managing editors of AusGamers, Stephen Farrelly and Kosta Andreadis, were editor and senior writer of Nintendo Gamer -- Australia's at one time premier Nintendo-based and wholly unofficial magazine, and occasional contributors to Aussie gaming staple bible, Hyper.

We've definitely grown as writers and reviewers from then till now, but we like to think the bones of the work was still there.

Check out our Nintendo Gamer and Hyper reviews for the current frontrunner for GOTY embedded below (click the images to blow them up).
