As part of this week’s Daily Classics Valentine’s theme (i.e., games from 19x4 and 19x9 that I love a lot), I’ve posted a fairly lengthy piece on USgamer about what made Super Metroid so great. It’s sort of Anatomy-ish, the kind of thing I’d normally use as the final entry in a series on a game… so, uh, I guess I need to think of something else to write for the final Anatomy of Super Metroid entry.

In the meantime, why not spoil yourself by reading that article? It’ll be painless, I promise.
