As I have mentioned numerous times in my writing, I'm pretty far behind with the video game world. I need to catch up on the classic franchises I've completely missed out on and play through the landmark titles that I've yet to touch. Feel free to read along as I do. This time, I'll be covering Metroid: Zero Mission, Portal, and Flower.

If you thought April is a historically light month for video games, you would be wrong. This installment of This Week in Video Game History gives us an opportunity to celebrate a classic game that is still very relevant, curse gamers for avoiding two fantastic games, and confirm that video games are worthy of a show about nothing.

Shadow Complex is clearly inspired by games like Super Metroid and Castlevania, but it also innovates fundamentally on this subgenre in ways that simply can't be ignored in future iterations of these traditional franchises.

While probably not destined to go down as a classic like the games that inspired it, Shadow Complex replicates their formulas admirably in a scaled down, $15 package.
