Another enjoyable month lies ahead of us! Welcome back folks, glad to see that you’re still with me <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Again I apologize for being a tad late but at least I made it before August 1st ^^ Fortunately things will get better from here on as I’ll be out of work as of August 15th (and that equals loads of spare time \o/).
What I’m looking forward to in August month is <i>Air Traffic Chaos</i> (again! ><), <i>Bangai-O-Spirits</i> (from the makers of Ikaruga <3), <i>From the Abyss</i> (dungeon-crawler with co-op!), <i>Rain Drops</i> (again! ><), and <i>Time Hollow</i> (interestingly-looking adventure game).
Also keeping an eye on the following titles: <i>Commando: Steel Distaster</i> (Metal Slug wannabe), <i>Elebits</i> (looks cute <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="happy.gif" />), <strike>and <i>Line Rider 2</i></strike> (it’s Line Rider all over again, go figure).
<b>REMEMBER THAT ALL DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE!</b>

God dangit, this game never made it out in July!! How annoying is that? >< Anyway, crossing my fingers that they can keep their “promise” this time around.
Now, allow me to quote myself from my thread for July:
Air Traffic Chaos is a game where you play as an ATC, working on five different airports where you direct arriving and departing planes while making sure that there’s enough space in the air and on the airport to keep accidents from happening. The game has no multiplayer (how the heck would that work out anyway?), but apparently features a high score <i>sharing</i> system which allows you to provide your friends with a challenge to try and beat <i>your</i> score instead of something pre-set by the game’s developers! Crazy stuff.

Awesome-looking shooter from the company that gave us Ikaruga (W00T), Gunstar Heroes, and Sin & Punishment. Now the fact that they were behind Ikaruga alone is enough for me to crave for this game. Plus I’ve read that it supports up to four players! Wewt <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yaynds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yayds:" border="0" alt="yaynds.gif" />
Trust me - you’ll want to keep an eye on this baby.

Yet another shooter, only this one looks an <i>awful</i> lot like Metal Slug. And that’s kind of a good thing (to a certain point). The screenshots sure caught my interest, but I felt that the trailer was so-so... Worth a try at least.

While I’ve never gotten around playing Elebits on the Wii, I do know that the game scored high in pretty much every magazine. So hopefully this’ll be just as good and looking at the adorable, crisp-looking screenshots I’m more than willing to give this game a try (but I still won’t get the Wii version).

Fire Emblem is back! And this time around, it's going down the emo-path just like Advanced Wars: Days of Ruin did with its darker look! Personally I've got something against this (Fire Emblem should look lush, beautiful and colorful IMO) and that's why I won't bother playing this game even after it's out in the US and Europe...

Gosh I really do hope that this plays similar to Shining Soul 1 and 2 on the GBA - I found those to be pretty neat <i>if</i> you had at least one friend to play with. Screenshots look pretty cool with good use of the touch screen for managing skills etc.

Another game that can be played for free in your browser as long as you’ve got Adobe Flash installed. Bottom line is this: you control a ninja who runs and jumps around levels. Combinations of moving left, right, and jumping on the game’s various terrain allows for some wicked moves and the goal of each level is to reach the exit - using a lot of skill, a pinch of luck, and a handful of clever thinking.

Cool-looking game where the player journey through a time-bending adventure to solve the mysteries of the present by changing events of the past - using the stylus to draw portals for transportation... Wicked huh? Well watch the trailer and you’ll see for yourself that this could very well turn out to be one awesome adventure game (which is something that the DS should be getting more of).

Another game that can be played for free in your browser as long as you’ve got Adobe Flash installed. Bottom line is this: you control a ninja who runs and jumps around levels. Combinations of moving left, right, and jumping on the game’s various terrain allows for some wicked moves and the goal of each level is to reach the exit - using a lot of skill, a pinch of luck, and a handful of clever thinking.

Cool-looking game where the player journey through a time-bending adventure to solve the mysteries of the present by changing events of the past - using the stylus to draw portals for transportation... Wicked huh? Well watch the trailer and you’ll see for yourself that this could very well turn out to be one awesome adventure game (which is something that the DS should be getting more of).
