Why Ninjatown > Advance Wars

Blog Post — November 21, 2008

Yesterday I beat Ninjatown on DS. The reason this is a notable accomplishment is that I haven't beaten any real video game for months. The last game I can remember beating is Lost Planet, and that was during the summer, before my room mate moved in and my social life got going.

I've played a lot of different games between then and now, games like Bioshock, Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, Viewtiful Joe, and more. But I haven't beaten any of those games, and I think I know why.

It has a very simple premise, but it is infinite and continuous and never leaves me alone.

So I'm going to present this pattern to you today.

Review — November 12, 2008

Ok, so today was official "Tyler and Tim Sit Down and Play Copious Amounts of Gears of War 2 Co-op Campaign" evening.

Three-and-a-half hours and two chapters later, this game is ridiculously great. Solid graphics and sound, truly epic scale (they were selling the game based on the size and scope of its firefights, and they weren't overhyping), great gunplay, and entertaining character development and plot. Basically, they took everything that made Gears of War amazing and upped the ante.
