Everybody knows about the Halo games, Half Life, etc., and I'll admit, these are fun, no doubt, but it seems that Metroid Prime isn't getting the respect it deserves. The main reason for this is it's a girl playing it. I don't want to seem offensive, but honestly, most FPS players are guys. Samus is overlooked. But the truth is, Samus might even be more "manly" than Master Cheif. Why? Because Master Cheif is one leader who has a squadron behind his back, yet Samus combats her entire alien race alone. Metroid Prime and Echoes are both really great games, and if you haven't tried them, and have a Gamecube, I would recommend trying it.
