Advance Wars 2
As I was wandering through Best Buy on Saturday evening, I saw something that got me excited (no, not a poster for Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle). Advance Wars 2 is out! Advance Wars is a phenomenal turn based strategy game, released around the time that Gameboy Advance came out. It encapsulates everything I like about Nintendo's games and the Gameboy Advance platform: it's simple, but not simplistic, it focuses on gameplay, and its production values are incredibly high. If you haven't played Advance Wars, run, don't walk to the local electronics store, and get yourself a copy.
I haven't actually played Advance Wars 2 yet, but all indications are that it lives up to its name. IGN gives it a 9.0 , and Gamespot gives it a 9.1 .

Posted by: Jason Marr at July 8, 2003 03:54 PMExcellent game. I picked it up on a whim in Nov 2001, the morning on which I headed out on an extended vacation, and it turned out to be the best GBA game I've played. Actually, I only have Mario2, Castlevania CoM, and Advance Wars, so maybe there are other good ones, but this game is a lot of fun.

Obviously.
