Ready, Set, Advance War!

Every weekend, I command a large army and I wage war with those who try to destroy the peace in our land.

Yep, you read it right, I wage war using soldiers, tanks, ships, and warplanes; and of course I am not mad. I am talking about my newest favorite game in Nintendo DS, which is Advance Wars: Days of Ruin.

Advance Wars

Advance Wars is one of the best Nintendo games on Nintendo DS and Gameboy Advance. It is a turn-based strategy game that lets you use various kinds of weapons on different maps. It is like a modern version of chess, wherein strategy and technique will make you win the battle.

Plot of the Game

A massive meteor shower caused much devastation on the whole Earth. Many cities where destroyed and many people were killed. Dust from the explosions kicked-up clouds into the sky, blocking the sun and destroying plant life. In the midst of ruins, Captain Brenner and what remains of the Rubinelle Army works together to rescue the survivotrs and return the semblance of order in their country. However, old hatred from the enemy nation (Lazuria) and the madness of the leaders of Rubinelle prevent the peace from gaining ground.

My Take on the Game

Advance Wars: Days of Ruins is an excellent game with well-balanced maps and characters. This is the best turn-based strategy game that I ever set my hands on. The challenge for each of the chapter in the story will surely make your mind work as you grope to defeat your opponents. So, if you have a Nintendo DS, I highly recommend Advance Wars: Days of Ruins.

Being an Ace Attorney Makes One Ill

Last week, I had a bad case cough and headache that paralyzed my mind from working. I just sat on my chair, glanced at the computer, and fought hard not to fall asleep. I forced myself to last until 5:30 so I will be free to go home. Alas, I survived. I rode the bus, endured the heavy traffic, and slept on the jeepney to my hometown. Gladly, I have enough strength to eat supper and drink medicine before sleeping.

My Facebook status, last Wednesday, read like this:

Yeah, that was a though day. To recuperate, I took a leave last Friday.

So what made me ill? I have plenty of reasons. One is that work related stress took the upper hand. Secondly, I slept late because I am solving cases as an ace attorney.

Yep, I am an ace attorney. Of course, not in the real world but in a game. That game is “Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice” in Nintendo DS.

Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice


I became addicted to this game because it challenges my mind to work logically. In Ace Attorney, I took the role of the rookie defense lawyer Apollo Justice. As of now, I have already solved three cases in Ace Attorney and I am now solving the murder case of an Interpol agent. My fight is in a court of law and I have to use logic, evidences available, and the ability to see through people’s lies.

Ace Attorney is a great game. But I guess I have to limit my playing and sleep early.

How about you guys, what are the games you are addicted to? Are you also interested in some courtroom drama like in Ace Attorney?
