Now both are back on track, with Juka looking as strong as ever. But what about Scurge: Hive? Will it fall short of the mark like Sigma Star Saga, a similarly styled futuristic title, or fly higher than people could ever expect? Luckily, Cubed

This is the game GBA fans (should) have been waiting for, and DS fans will become besotted with

But with an isometric viewpoint and a much more intense feel to the gameplay! 
And anyway, you make it sound like being likened to Metroid is a BAD thing! :roll:

It sounds like a complex metroid.
Silence is the loudest noise we could possibly hear.

'Cheap copy of Metroid' / 'Complex Metroid'

Nice contrast It's really fun. Have either of you played Racing Gears Advance? Karn / spydarlee reviewed it...he'll tell you exactly how good it is.
