Batallion Wars

[A Black Falcon]

New preview. It's looking great... this and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance are clearly the big holiday titles (Mario Golf and Mario DDR... eh...), and both look like they'll be pretty good games that are definitely worth getting... sure, it doesn't make up for the lack of Zelda, but it's not like we've got nothing good coming this holiday season. :)

Batallion Wars: Great cartoony graphics that capture the spirit of the AW games quite well... and the action/strategy gameplay looks pretty cool too.

Fire Emblem GC: Mediocre graphics that do not live up to the GBA graphics... I wish they'd either gone 2d or made them look a lot better. Both in qualityy and, more important, in style... the gameplay shine through obviously, but still, it's somewhat dissapointing. Still a must-buy though...

I'll probably get both of these games along with Shadow of the Colossus, Okami and Everyone Loves Katamari on the PS2 before the the end of this year.
