The new game is called "Days of Ruin" and it is great. I play it every night at bed time and it keeps me up or I sometimes fall asleep on my DS system. I'm so caught up in the game that when I do wake up, in a daze with my game on, I fight to stay awake enough to finish the battle at hand before turning the game off. I play it on the toilet. I play it after showering while my hair dries. I'm rushing to write this blog because I'm about to play it some more.
My complaint about this new version is they tried to make it more serious and dark. Part of the fun of playing war on this game was the cartoon-like soldiers with their big round heads and eyes. See how cute they are? How fun is it to see them get blown away?
The soldiers in the new version are more "realistic" I guess. AND THEY HAVE NO FACES WHATSOEVER!!!!
I just think that sucks. I mean I'm still obsessed, but this new "grown up" version of Advance Wars just takes itself too seriously. Not only that, the main character constantly makes anti-war statements. What's that about? You create this game with WAR in the title. The whole premise is WAR.
See this is a great example of one of the ways the new batch of more serious characters just come across as pretentious. All this does is make the oodles of written dialogue that much more annoying to sit through to get to the next fight.

Completely unrelated, dude, but now that the strike is (pretty much) over... are you guys going to shoot the rest of Season 4, or just wait and come back next year? Or do you know yet...
Ryan, respect Jorge as a human being not a character of your favorite show.

As the tech advances and they make certain aspects cooler, so much is lost in taking away the original designs. They just don't make them like they used to...
I'm gonna go boy Professor Layton for the DS tonight!
Dude, you hit on a major facet of war: dehumanize the enemy. Seriously. It's very sad, but how many of us would shoot a fellow human being?
Not me.
But a dehumanized enemy? A "jew" or "arab" or "redskin" or "redcoat" or "nazi" or "charlie?" ...
That's how war and governments and propoganda live. It's what we, as people, fight. I don't want to hurt any person. But in a video game? Well ..
I think too much. Let's have a beer, this hurts my head.
damn i wish i had a DS! really enjoyed Advance Wars 1 and 2 on the GBA!
hi from Singapore Jorge!

High-five, Jorge! Advance Wars is The Stuff (as we say on family-friendly blogs).
I suspect we will see you playing it on the new episodes of Lost when you begin taping again. I'm simplistic as I'm addicted to my Freecell game on the laptop.
Do you play in an internet league?
Aha! So that's where you've been! I'm so happy you have this blog! I love hearing about anything you have to say, even if it involves bodily functions. :)
sounds like it would be more fun with Sponge Bob and Patrick taking out the citizens of Bikini Bottom... :-)
I can't do video games so well since I get motion sickness. I know, I know - total wuss.
Dude! I saw you in Borders at Pearlridge.
I'm the "Previously on LOST" guy.
Aloha,
Joe
PS:What happened to your myspace? I deleted my old profile and can't find it now.
Days of Ruin is pretty great. I did turn of the battle animations after two or three missions - they kind of suck the speed out of it.
But then, afterwards, I always return to my true love: Picross DS. I've played that game for days without an end, it's so much fun!
Jorge, that game kick asses!! I been playing a lot with this new Advance Wars, I'm glad to know that you're a gamer too!
I know nothing about DS but can totally agree with you liking the "old" more cartoonish version beter:)
Hi i have only just found this site and i have just moved to greece from england(i am half greek) and can i askdo you like doctor who, anyway what other war games do you like on the ds.
I got a chuckle out of this. I'm a football widow who is on reprieve until draft starts. I was thinking your girlfriend is a "Wars" widow...Miss Jorge, whoever you are, I'm sending sympathy vibes your way. Boys and their toys...LOL...
¡Hey,dude!¿do yo understand spanish?
Hola Jorge...ojalá puedas entender español, me encantaría que pudieras leer esto, me emociona mucho poder comunicarme con vos...
En la serie sos uno de mis favoritos, junto a Sayid, y hasta escribí un fan-fic que protagonizan ustedes dos, y una misteriosa mujer llamada Maya...se me ocurre que tal vez quisieras ver un poquito de que se trata, te paso el link
http://z10.invisionfree.com/lostperdidos/index.php?showtopic=3698
Te quierooooooooo!!!
Sos el tipo de amigo que me gusta tener...ojalá puedas leer esto,y si me contestás...me desmayo aquí mismo.

Huh, that's funny, as I recently had a similar reaction to the new Final Fantasy Tactics game. I was majorly into Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, and the follow-up release on PSP is good, buuuut... it's got that same Suddenly Serious vibe to it. I chalked it up to platform (it's my one and only PSP game.. I'm a DS girl at heart), but maybe this is just the new trend?
P.s.: How much do the new Anti-Tank Guns rock? I love those dudes. At least when I'm the one using them and not the computer. ;)
I like more serious looking characters. I was one of the few people who immediately dug the new look of Final Fantasy characters when they went from sprites to more realistic in FFVIII.
have you played it online yet it is way fun people are way better than I am. If you want to play an awesome addictive game play puzzle quest on the DS it is a RPG puzzle strategy game it is awesome check it out.If you do let me know what you think of it
Hello Jorge!
regards from belgium and a fellow AW:DoR-player :-)
It is indeed a great game, but you should try warhammer 40: squad command too if you like AW:DoR, its also a turnbased strategy-game but at the same time its totally different, I like both equally :-)
regards,
mistic
My eldest son has decided to pass on this one. He had the first one and droe himself crazy. Me...Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney!!!
I know exactly what you mean! The good old days of Andy and Max arguing, Grit bothering Olaf..... *sighs* I don't know if I'll bring myself to get it.... What would be awesome, Jorge (and everyone else) would be if they like improved the graphics a *little*, kept all the old characters, and put it on XBOX Live!! That would be so awesome to play against yr friends online!!!
Jorge,
Be sure to pick up Via Domos when it comes out on the 28th.
All I am saying is Silent hill... The new one on PSP is awsome!
Jajajaj, i past the same with tetris!
this game is awesome. though the online play is annoying because ppl always disconnect....
ive been a big advance wars head since the gba... this is by far the best one so far.
Ohh......Ohhhhh!!!! YOU PLAY ADVANCE WARS!?!?!?!? Now you ARE one of my Seven Gods (Jack Sparrow, Zeus, and some more...).
Grit is the best, it's obvious...

In 1981, ed hardy and his wife formed
Hardy Marks Publications. In 2004, Christian Bale licensed the rights to
produce the high-end Ed Hardy UK line, which is based on Hardy's
imagery. Prior to the ed hardy
clothing line, Bale was the Head Designer at Von Dutch
Originals, which marketed the imagery of Kenny Howard. Don ed
hardy, commented, As demand for my artwork continues to
skyrocket, I felt it was ed hardy
clothing time to take on a partner that could help me manage
the demand and opportunities for the ed
hardy T-shirts name. Iconix is at the forefront of brand
management and clearly has the capabilities to dramatically grow the Ed
Hardy UK business. I'm thrilled to have them as a partner. Cheap Ed
Hardy are located in everywhere. We also believe that by owning the brand
alongside ed hardy clothing, the founder,
there will be opportunities to further leverage his iconic name along with his
new artwork. Largest selection of Ed Hardy T-Shirts and Ed Hardy here.
