Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice (a.k.a. Gyakuten Saiban 4)
(2008 Capcom, NDS)
In a nutshell: We lost Phoenix, but gained… a daughter. Sort of. Touchscreen-enhanced invesitigation tools make the puzzles a little more actively involving, but most of the characters aren’t as interesting as the old batch. (Yet?)
Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann 2006, Konami, (NDS)
In a nutshell: Watch the goddamn anime.
I can’t stick to an article itinerary to save my life here, but what fun would this place be if it was predictable?
NeoGeo Battle Coliseum(PS2)
2006 SNK/Playmore
In a nutshell: Given the choice between [KOF XI] and [NGBC]… I’d take the seasick crocodile~! [latter.] Essentially blending the superb SNK fighting games with a Marvel vs. Capcom-style tag system, NGBC surpasses even KOF XI in fun, but the roster leans a bit towards the WTF.
I will seriously shut up about this game after this.
Front Mission(NDS by way of necromancy)
Square/Enix (but who are we kidding, it’s a Square game from over a decade ago)
In a nutshell: Highly customizable mechanized wargame that’s worth a look if you like gritty sci-fi and/or micromanaging of large armies.
Or guys named Peewee.
HEROSCAPE: THE BATTLE OF ALL TIME
Milton Bradley/Hasbro (no console- WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE)
In a nutshell: I really want to play a strategy RPG, but my hometown has no electricity!
