    looking good. I'm definetly interested in seeing an RTS on the DS.

    And while I'm not hugely interested in the dictionary - I would like to see them further exploring PDA funtionality.

    Jesus - I hope that's a typo. I can't imagine turning an aged RTS into a TBS is going to be good.

    The GameSpy hook up has been spread about already, we wont see online play before E3/May anyway.

    Age of Empires is a bit disapointing alright but what did you think when people described advanced wars, you might say "sounds ****" but then you play it and oh my god! AoE could potentially be like Civ on the PC, now that would be cool.

    Goldeneye... hmmm at least its an FPS and it looks ok from the shots but I want to see more. Looks like there are load of textures in the gfx. Hopefully we will be hearing alot more about them all soon.

    AoE as a TBS is abit crap, but it could still be really good too (as someone said, Advance Wars is Turn based but it still rocks!). I'm interested to see how both Advance Wars and AoE uses the touch screen, it could and should be used really well but hopefully its not the only thing worth getting about the game (and the second screen could be very slick too).
    Goldeneye looks alright and I imagine the controls are very similar to the ones for Metroid, which rule!
    Like reactor I can't wait for some more PDA-style software, I'm sure within a year we'll have some decent stuff too (it would be a nice swoop on the PSP if they targeted young professionals who could have an affordable PDA and a cool console all in one).
    Fingers crossed that when the online stuff comes about it will allow internet browsing too, and not just online play

    AoE looks like it is turning into a Civ2 clone. So I say we need an original port of Civ2 to the DS! It would be perfect for playing with the stylus (unlike pretty much every other genre of game!)

    Still not sure about FPS on the DS ... the demo of Metroid Prime takes a lot to get used to and neither the stylus or the strap for your tumb provides particularly good control.

    Only problem I have with the metroid control is its dificult to do a 180, after that its 2nd only to key board and mouse!

    Id say the Metroid controls will be tewaked a bit in the final version and Im surprised we havn't seen a 3rd party thum thing to replace the nintendo one yet.

    What do the games run on? Oh ye the DS...and looking at the games in this thread has led me to cast that opinion.

    The screens look dreadful for AOE. It is also turn based. HAHA not gonna happen.

    Accept it.

    Just bought Yoshi Touch and Go off Ebay. Im glad I held out buying a game at the launch. Its the first ture and propper DS game and Im sure it'll tie me over till Metriod comes out anyway. Its a greeat feeling knowing that the experience cant be got another console.

    Now thats a bit more like it. You don't like turn based stuff at all then? Personally I think FF Advance sucks big time but Advaced Wars is is amazing. I was a huge fan of Civ so it depends on where AoE is going to fit in. I was never a fan of AoE on the PC anyway, could never get in to it.

    If you like turn based games, you may actually like this version of AOE but i would find it hard to get into AOE turn based if I did not like the real time version on the PC. I just hate turn based games anyway though.

    Rogue Agent could be good...

    Did you play Advaced wars 1/2? Really solid, good games and very addictive. Tactics meant alot more then numbers and brute force.

    Rogue Ageant is a compleat wild card. Could be better the metriod is Metrid goes down the Tournament/area style play with no real levels but I cannt Nintendo will **** it up. Imagine Goldeneye with 8 players and all the options to pick diferant weapons like on the N64 version... mmm proximity mines... And sneak em up levels like the orignal, mmmm sniper rifle....
