IGN have put up a "Detailed Preview" of the final build of Battalion Wars and they're calling it "the sleeper Gamecube hit of the season". Apparently it's a lot of fun to play and surprisingly tactical. Shockingly, though, there's no multiplayer. Seeing as squad based war games like CDS and Op Flash and the like are at their best in co-op this is a mighty shame. Here's the full preview:

So my expectations for this have suddenly jumped from forgetting that it existed to "must buy". Things are looking up for us GC owners - at least we'll have one game to play this christmas.

Heh, that looks good actually.

I hadn't been paying any attention to it until now either.

It always makes you wonder though, when you find something unexpectedly good - how many other gems you miss.

Road Rash 64 was another one. And the Burnout cube version - I still play that more than BO2. Great stuff.

Only 5 good games on the N64? Wash your mouth out with soap.

i have a feeling a gamecube will be much like the n64 for me, there will be about 5 games that i will love and the rest i'll never bother with.

Well Hunters isn't out until next year and the only other FPS is Rogue Agent :/

But yeah there are literally dozens of fantastic Gamecube games, a handful of great RPGs and whatnot.

Get a DS and play Metroid Prime Hunters. Can't get more precise than that.

It's more about the mouse though as buttons on the pad could be used like W,A,S,D. It's getting a quick and precise movement that i want, something that i personally have problem with when using pads.

You can get a Keyboard. You can also get a controller with a keyboard between the two handles. Crazy stuff.
