A little bit of everything reviews....and other stuff.

My blog is basically a mix of reviews and typical day to day blog entries. I will review things every once in a while especially new games and movies. Mostly this blog will be full of my opinions and rants on things I come across on a daily basis.

Advanced Wars: Dual Strike for DS

If you like turn based strategy then you will love Advances Wars. The story is the typical, bad guys came and are ruining and taking over our world and you and your friends need to stop them.
It gets cheesy sometimes when Jake the character you play tries to talk about how he "owns" the enemy when you win and tries to sound cool. The characters in it though bring their own personalities including the overly confident enemies you face.
The game is not a graphic masterpiece or anything but it looks good for what its supposed to show.
The units look good and you can see an overview of each one on your second screen. The enemy AI is ok, it will take some chances and leave itself open alot, but it also will take you down if you do the same.
I am about 9 missions in and each one has had its own little trick to it and special part to it. It does not get predictable at least in the set up of each mission and shows you something new each time.
It takes full advantage of the dual screen on the ds and gives you just enough game to keep you busy for long periods of time or for short bus and car trips.
Give Advances Wars a shot.
