[CrOnO_LiNk]

Hmm.... These are the 2 new games that just came out and I am having a hard time choosing which one I am going to buy on Thursday... Ok, so here's the deal.

(click on game names for the official site)


Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits
---
Price: $40
System: PS2
Genre: RPG
Average review score: 8/10

It's an RPG with a good storyline and I have been hearing really great things about it. It came out about 4 days ago and looks great. RPG's are my favorite genre and this is one... It looks great, but I could only choose one game.


VS.




Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising
---
Price: $30
System: GBA
Genre: Strategy
Average Review Score: 9/10

Well, I am going on vacation this Friday (4th of July) and I need something to keep me busy in the car. This is perfect for a portable, and it's cheaper. Got good reviews too, but I never played the first one. Although I really want Arc the Lad, I also want this too.



So I need help, has anyone played either of these games? Please help me pick... Thanks in advance guys.

AW2.

I'd pick AW2 over any other game you put up there. I really really need $30.

In consideration of your vacation coming up I'd go with AW2. Great game, as was the first game. It's easy to pick up and play. You're choice though. Pick which game you truly want more.

I'd go for Advanced Wars 2 if I had a GBA.

Advance Wars 2 is awsome.

I'd buy it, but I have the first one, and they're apparently pretty similar. But even that is the only thing I ever play on my GBA anymore, and I've had it for two years now -- or whenever exactly it came out. Lots of replay value. Very fun (If you're into that strategy type stuff, at least).
