Is that a comparison? Yes. Is that fair or profound? No. Did I say that they have to be in order to qualify as a comparison? I don't think so. And as a matter of fact, I remember painstakingly pointing out the very fact in my post. Something which you obviously missed so masterfully. Brilliant, genius. Well, wait...no, more like retarded.

What I was trying to say (which your dumb ass missed) is that anything can be compared... but... There is a point where comparisons become pointless due to too many differences.
The best comparisons are games that try to create the same image:
NFL 2k vs Madden
NBA 2k vs NBA Live
WWF No Mercy vs WWF WMx8
Mario 64 vs Mario Sunshine
The next Best are games that aren't trying to create the same image, but games that are in the same genre and have similar gameplay mechanics, game settings, or Level design.
Then there are the pointless comparisons. Yes, [b]anything can be compared[b], But some are just plain stupid. Games that have nothing to do with each other. Metriod and Halo fall under this category. The lack of similarities isn't the only thing that makes it unfair. Just think about it, comparing a game that isn't out to (arguably) the best home console FPS is in no way fair.
Just like the retards that used to say Mafia is a GTA killer... Just because Mafia doesn't live up to GTA it now can be classified as crap. If it wasn't compared to GTA 3 it wouldn't be crap, it would be it's own game. Let Metroid be it's own game.

we compare things that are totally different from each other all the time. And if you think about it, what's so stimulating about comparing two of the same things? If comparisons are made only to be centered around two of the same things, what the hell good is it?

What's so stimulating abut comparing Apples to Oranges??? The way I see it, comparing things that have bigger similarities than it's label. Yes, they are both "games" just like Apples and oranges are both "fruits". It's a lot easier to compare the big orange with the brown spots to the small clean one then it will ever be to compare it to an Apple.
Use this example on games, Tetris vs Madden 2003... both games, how could a person write a comprehensive comparison???
"Well, Madden has a franchise mode and Tetris doesn't, Madden is better"
wtf?
It simply makes no sense. To me, if comparisons are this retarded, I like to just say that the can't be compared. Halo and Metriod can't be compared.
Have you even considered the fact that metroid isn't even out yet? They still can be compared? (keep in mind what I said was something that can't be compared) A couple demo's to a full blown HIT game? If you believe these can be compared, I will quit debating now, because this is simple disagreement, facts have nothing to do with it.
