Battalion Wars 2

Battalion Wars 2Just finished up playing through the campaign mode of Battalion Wars 2 for the Wii.  It’s a war strategy game with a fun setting.  Wasn’t exactly sure that war could be made to be fun, but they developers pulled it off.  I’ve always been a big fan of the strategy games.

While this game is better than the the previous installment on the GameCube, it didn’t necessarily break any new ground.  Though that’s not necessarily a bad thing, as the whole gameplay is very polished.  Easy for a beginner to pick up, while also being challenging enough for a more seasoned gamer.  

The various campaigns which have you playing from the various sides helps keep the game fresh.  It’s cool to play from the bad guys (Xylvanians) point of view.  Overall a very cool game.  I haven’t had a chance to play the online portions of the game yet, so I’ll have to give that a shot when I get some free time.

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin

Days of Ruin was one of the more addictive games I’ve played in a while.  It’s a turn based military strategy game.  The series has been around for a while on the GameBoy and DS, but this was the first time I gave it a shot.

The pace of the game made it perfect for a handheld.  You could just pause a mission and resume it whenever you had time.  Very convenient for when I had to actually do important stuff.  A perfect handheld strategy game.
