Escapist Magazine's excellent video series Extra Credits has a video that talks about the storytelling challenges in Metroid: Other M.

If you were unaware of this issue, Metroid: Other M has been criticized for taking Samus Aran, one of the most powerful female characters in gaming, and in an attempt to "humanize" her turned her into a woman completely dependent on men in order to succeed.  Extra Credits approaches this issue by looking at how the game design process may have contributed to this and how it can be avoided in the future.
