Metroid

Metroid is a series of games made by Nintendo. The main character is Samus Aran. As a child she was orphaned and raised by a tribe of bird-like creatures called the Chozo, and grew up to be a bounty hunter. While earlier games in the series dealt with story-lines focusing on the eponymous creature called metroids, later games would focus on a corrupting substance called Phazon. The developer of the later games, Austin Texas' Retro Studios, have described Phazon in terms of corruption, and a few Christian fans have compared its saddening effects on worlds quite similar to those of sin on the world.

The series was created by Gunpei Yokoi, famous for creating the Game and Watch.
