This game looks really cool. I'm not typically the worlds biggest FPS fan, but this seems unique enough that I'm willing to give it a shot.

RPS? Sounds like PR talk to me, but whatever, I hope this is cool.

I definitely dig the art style as well.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Review

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen an entry in the Metroid Prime series - 18 years, in fact. It was 8 years ago that Metroid Prime 4 was originally announced and its development was more than a little turbulent. Initially developed by Bandai Namco, it was later scrapped completely and development was shifted back to Retro Studios to start the project over. In the end, Retro has delivered a solid new entry in the series, but one that doesn’t totally capture what originally made the series so compelling.
