Metroid Database.com

The latest issue of Game Informer magazine (issue 135, July 2004) features a beautiful Metroid Prime 2 cover and a "world exclusive" in-depth 10-page feature on the upcoming Gamecube sequel. GI was granted a special look inside Retro Studios at their progress on MP2, and plenty of interesting details are revealed.

The rest of the issue features lots of great information and photos of E3 fallout, with articles on the Nintendo DS, Sony PSP, and of course, lots of upcoming games. (Surprisingly, GI is getting pretty good, recently seeming to have shed its former identity as little more than a GameStop propaganda tool and transforming itself into a fairly respectable publication for videogame enthusiasts. Kudos to them!)
