Thinking about getting
Metroid Prime - definitely get this. Even if you haven't played a Metroid game, it's a good start to the series.
Blood Rayne- Kinda mindless action, get it if you can find it cheap
Lost Kingdoms- Card based RPG, if you're not into that avoid it
Scorpion King- Avoid it
Mystic Heroes- Get it if you like the Dynasty Warriors games
Medal Of Honor- Get MOH: Frontline, the other two don't stack up to that one
The Hobbit- don't know about this game, since I've never played it. It got horrible reviews though
Can anyone give me advice?

Metroid Prime is great, everything else is crap.

Metroid Prime is sublime. Get it or you phail. Bloodrayne will treat you right if you approach it wanting to like it.
I actually HIGHLY recommend in that one skipping the Louisiana chapter of the game. It is just poorly designed all the way through. Problem is, it is the first one and also a tutorial of sorts. Just make sure you realize that once you start fighting Nazis, the game starts getting MUCH better.

Alright, I'll buy Metroid Prime for sure.

Yeah, that's probably the only one worth owning out of those. For a cheap price you might enjoy the others though; I haven't played them myself. I own MP though and it's great.

Metroid Prime- Must buy. Amazing game.
Blood Rayne- Mindless action but and ok game. If you can find it cheap I would def pick it up.
Lost Kingdoms- Like stated above it's a card based RPB. If you are not into that kind of game then no reason to pick this up. If you think you would be it's a good one though.
Scorpion King- Total Garbage.
Mystic Heroes- Kind of like a dumbed down Dynasty Warriors.
Medal Of Honor- Which one? The last 2 MOH games started to go downhill. If you can find then cheap then I would pick them up. Call of Duty is better IMO.
The Hobbit- Garbage.

Metroid Prime (GC) at Game Rush Blockbusters for $5 (NEW)
I enjoyed The Hobbit. It's nothing special, but enjoyable. Probably made a big difference that I'm a big fan of the novel. Only reason I checked it out is it was $5 somewhere a long time ago.

This is great advice for Bloodrayne.

I was really surprised to see how cheap it goes for now, too. I expected it to remain pricey like a Zelda or Mario game, at least in the $15-20 range.
Of course, I was raised on Metroid, so I may be biased. I remember buying Metroid II on Gameboy, they had to special order it because they were out of copies, and then I played it religiously on my old brick.
Speaking of which, we got Zero Mission, where's our Return of Samus remake??

I never played it, but wasn't Return of Samus supposed to be very... lacking? As in, no music and no backgrounds? Every single area looked like it was made out of cabbage? The exact same cabbage every time, so you had no idea where in the hell you were?

You have also yet to play Metroid II. That's a coincidence a little too large to ignore.

Bloodrayne is $6 or so used at GameStop and it's pretty cheap at GameCrazy too. Worth checking out at those prices, it's a pretty decent action game. Don't let all the corny promotions Majesco did (such as her appearance in Playboy) scare you off from giving it a try.
Metroid Prime is also one of the cheapest non-sports GCN titles around - $5 used at GameCrazy and $6 at GS. Definitely one of the best GCN games.
Haven't played any of the others, but I've heard Scorpion King was just horrible.
Hope that helps!
