I reckon every SEnix game due for the DS in the coming months will hit No 1. It's a tall order but I think it will happen.

FFTA2's pretty damn cool, but strangely doesn't use the touch-screen at all! Smilie

Its an RPG that doesn't use the touch screen at all?! Not even for menus? That's pretty insane.

Recent weeks have indeed been very slow...hopefully certain games will pick up again in the coming weeks. It'll be very interesting to see how Super Mario Galaxy does after a week on sale.

And Jacob, very strange indeed, isn't it!! I thought since S-E has been using the touch-screen like crazy in games like Heroes of Mana and FFXII: RW, FFTA2 would, but it doesn't.

Especially considering its a turn based strategy game! RPG + Square Enix + Strategy titles should equal some touch screen usage. Hopefully it doesn't hinder the game-play. I'm guessing you'll have a review up in the future?

Not had much chance to play it, sadly...got too many other things on my plate right now (like the Sight Training diary and its review, Mystery Detective 2.5's review and two previews on the boil).
