Blade Recommends! Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
B.R. Issue #1
Blade Recommends
Here's the first in a series that I'll be calling Blade Recommends! This'll be my little mini-project on the Temp, which will probably last until Another World gets the full revival of the original GBAtemp Recommends. I'll be posting a new one whenever I feel like it, which would probably be very often.

This mini-project will deal with NDS, GBA, and perhaps retro (SNES, Atari and the like) games for now. I'll give the must-play titles, ranging from any kind or genre of games. All of them are certainly excellent games that everyone should definitely give a try.

Today, I'm recommending Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. This port from the original GBA game, Gyakuten Saiban, certainly transitioned very well. The game added new controls, new features, and additional storylines. (added to the game in the form of a new case) The DS version made very good use of the touch screen controls, making them much easier to handle than the GBA version. It still retained the original button controls for those that prefer it.

I can easily call Ace Attorney one of the most unique games on the DS. It had an interesting and gripping story, a large and vibrant cast of characters and was very well written. The game was able to create good tension and suspense-albeit a bit comical-in the climactic scenes of the trial. The courtroom gameplay was surprisingly addicting, and combine that with the very consistent story makes it a game where it is almost crucial to play it till the end.[/p]

Love the format. Nice and clean, simple to navigate, and informative.

Can't wait for more recommendations, hopefully some games I haven't completed yet.

I really love the format too, very professional job there mate!

BTW, higher up staffers- i told him to post this here because i wasn't too sure where else it should go. So if this is the wrong place, you can blame me. Don't take it out on CrackBlade. If he can continue the quality here, i think it deserves some serious attention, perhaps as a front page link or something. Looks like a solid and well done effort to resurrect the Recommends gig we used to have.

Thanks guys.

I'll be doing the under the radar game Sideswiped next. I think I'll do it tomorrow or in a few hours even.
