For shame, I have neither.
And I haven't played either.

And, to be honest, I didn't think I ever would. Just kind of ignored them, thinking they weren't my sort of game.

But I started reading about Echoes, and I really, really wanted it.
But is it better to get Prime?

eh?
eh?

As a game - which is better.
And I don't care if Prime had a bigger impact because it was Metroid in 3D for the first time evaR! omg!!11

Which is the better game?

Throw the coin out of the window then, and go get it once its landed.
Durrrr.

I couldn't risk the other eye and other portion of my brain.
And I would no longer have the motor functions or mental capacity to flip a coin.

Then, when the doctors take them out, ask tehm what side is facing up, tehn you'll know which to buy.
Yoyu can't go wrong.
Even if you die, as you won't have to worry about which to get,.
Because you'll be DEAD.

What it the coin bounces off the ceiling and come back straight into my eye - and through, down into juicier tissue?

Prime I'd say is a better introduction. Echoes is way harder, throwing you in at the deep end straight away, and the actual world to start off with is much less appealing that in Prime. So basically, buy Prime second hand for £10, then get Echoes when you complete Prime (or when the game stops recognising your pre-final boss save and you just give up)

I lost intrest in prime after a while and ended up trading it in. But brought it again while later,an lost intrest again at about the same point! Am not sure if I will bother with Echoes.
