DS Daily: The pinnacle of strategy

It seems like the DS is suddenlyinundated with strategy-basedtitles. If variety is the spice of life, the DS is like a delicious array of strategy salsas, ranging from mild to fiery hot. Yet, are any of them even fit to shine the shoes of Advance Wars: Dual Strike? Listen, we're talking about games from a variety of studios, and Square Enix is all sorts of up in the strategy mix, so it's not like we're comparing shovelware to diamonds here. The first Advance Wars for the DS was just phenomenal -- so good, in fact, that we can't help but wonder if even its own follow-up can live up to the glory of that title.

What do you think? Can any of them stand up next to Advance Wars? What are some of your favorites among the current strategy offerings, and what are you looking forward to most?
