Battalion Wars is more of a 3.0 type of game. Jesus, do you go in prepared to like any game just because it has the Nintendo badge on the boxart?

calidor posted some PD0 info from the other age:
What could possibly go wrong? A lot of stuff, actually. Zero's multiplayer modes, which include special dark-ops missions that have players taking on roles, are ambitious and will require heavy play balancing. We also hope the number of supported players doesn't drop once again. The latest version we tried got a bit choppy at times, but Rare is promising that the final game will run at 30 frames per second (about as smoothly as Halo 2, but not the blazing speed we'd expect of a next-generation title).
HUAUAHUAHUAUHAUH 30 FPS

Trauma Center rocks, despite the fact that Zeo endorses it. It's the first DS game to justify the presence of the stylus. Plus the plot is wacky as all hell!

I don't think I own a single Sony-developed game.

No one seems to love Wanda so far... OPM - 4.5; GI - 8.75; EGM 9, 9, 8.5.

Zeo, the best part of playing through Advance Wars DS was that I never had to touch the stylus even once. (Well, I did ONCE, and found it grossly inferior to the D-pad.)

Good scores, but I said "love". Besides, it's very odd that a game of this magnitude and ambition can score lower than the latest edition of 2D Castlevania.

im sorry but this is just retard in every single way..........this just sounds like a holy quest to try to prove that the touch screen doesnt work, even if the title in question fits like a glove for this type of device....next thing you gonna tell me is that you dont use the mouse to play the same type of games on your pc.... :lol

suprised no one has mentioned far cry, arent those score disappointing or was the game supposed to be mediocre
I'm one of the bigger Advance Wars fanboys on this board, and I never used the stylus once to play AWDS. I'm just used to moving the cursor using the dpad.
However, I did use the stylus to play Meteos and Nightmare Troubador. Works like a charm with those games. I LIKE the fact that with many DS games if you choose to use the dpad and buttons, you can.

Insane For Sony
Very nice SotC scores. So far it's getting 9s or very close to it, much like Ico was getting from most bigger publications. Gives me the faith that it'll deliver the same greatness, that not everyone will like 
I have a feeling Virtua Tennis got robbed in that one 6. Why such low score?

Very good month overall.
Of the entire two games in that review list I've played (Burnout Revenge and Katamari) I'd say the scores were dead on. If the Shadow and Castlevania DS scores are as accurate, I have nothing to worry about.
About those DS games, I won't be buying or playing them, but the way they were hyped around here, the scores do seem a little on the low side.

Still awesome though
But even not liking it, which is fine (although strange!), you can't logically say that it wasn't a good use of the stylus.

SotC review:
Mark - The graphics are gorgeous but choppy, at times chugging along with entire mountains suddenly popping into view. And even with constant manual adjustments, the camera swings so wildly at times it's hard to tell what's going on.
Shane - The aging PS2 simply can't keep up, so ever-present slowdown, pop-up, and glitches assault your eyes. Shadow's gameplay leads to head-scratching, too: It's desolate, empty world, purposefully convoluted control scheme, and unexpected ending all add to its otherwordly mystique
Joe - Basically just says the game has complex controls and that it's 'art.'
They really have nothing good to say about the game other than it's great looking and evokes emotion, but it got a 9, 9, 8.5???

The stylus isn't analogous to a mouse in every context. In the case of Advance Wars, it's far less precise than a mouse and obstructs the visibility of the screen, and is far less comfortable to use during a protracted gaming session than a mouse. It also requires some use of depth perception which hinders selection accuracy, as opposed to a mouse whose pointer is part of the actual screen.
