by Alisha Karabinus { Jan 30th 2008 at 9:45AM }

If you don't already have a copy of Advance Wars: Days of Ruin ($34.99), then rest assured: we're here for you. Not only do we have one up for grabs, but we're going to include a couple of spiffy extras to make your day that much brighter. We're offering up not only the best war/strategy game to release so far this year, but you can also pick up a copy of the Fullmetal Alchemist Trading Card Game ($14.99), as well as one of those spiffy Jimi Multimedia shells ($8.95) as an extra bonus. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post answering the question below between now and February 5th. The contest closes that night at 11:59 PM EST, and we'll announce one lucky winner the next morning. It may even be you!

As with most of our contests, you can enter once per day, and as usual, is limited to legal U.S. residents age 18 or older. For any other questions you may have, check the official rules.

Question: When it comes to Days of Ruin, are you more interested in online play, or single player?

I'd take online.. way more fun to expand your tactical prowess across the net :P

Chief @ Feb 4th 2008 3:58PM

I'm more interested in single player, as that is what AW has always been about. I'd play online a few times, if only to try tactics out with little consequence to game progress.

TheCoats @ Jan 30th 2008 9:51AM

When i saw it was wifi thatswhat i thought i would buy it for but the main game has distracted me from playing it on line

Patrick @ Jan 30th 2008 9:57AM

I think the DS lacks any real good multiplayer wi-fi experience. Why wasn't COD4 DS with Wi-fi? I think that this game should prove one of the best multiplayer titles out there.

Justin @ Jan 30th 2008 9:54AM

Single Player, as usual. Unless there was also local multiplayer, I really dig that.

Raru @ Jan 30th 2008 1:33PM

Multiplayer for sure!

Jon Dohnson @ Jan 30th 2008 9:57AM

with the messing up of the battlemap features and the addition of voice chat to online play, i would have to say online play now.

tratch @ Jan 30th 2008 9:58AM

The single player campaign usually takes up all my time.

Stewart @ Jan 30th 2008 9:58AM

Neither. Although I would probably play online more than the single-player, what I really want this for is the hotseat play. I have a group of 4 friends, and we are currently in the middle of a hotseat Age of Empires game, that is some good stuff. Once we finish that, it would be great to start a hotseat Advance Wars game!

thesimplicity @ Jan 30th 2008 9:59AM

With the addition of voice chat, I'm all about the online mode. Now I just need to get one of those cheap plastic headsets. And some friends.

Ryan G @ Jan 30th 2008 10:00AM

Definitely the single player at first, but later possibly online play if it's not a huge pain in the ass to get it working.

txa1265 @ Jan 30th 2008 10:01AM

I am interested in the Single Player ... but of course I'll play some online as well.

Joey @ Jan 30th 2008 10:06AM

This game looooooks sweeeeeeeeet.

Big money, big money, no whammies....

Aluvendale @ Jan 30th 2008 10:08AM

Single player. . . .at least until I got the hang of it.

Brett @ Jan 31st 2008 6:45AM

I think I'll be playing the Single Player mode for the most part, but if a few of my other friends get it, then I will definitely explore what Multiplayer has to offer.

B @ Jan 30th 2008 10:10AM

I'd say I'm more for the online play, with the single player being training for online:D

Mooga @ Jan 30th 2008 10:10AM

I'm more interested in single player, since I commute over 2 hours every day. But also multi-player since I know many other with the game :)

Jedijoe9 @ Jan 30th 2008 10:12AM

Single Player. I played a couple of games of Mario Kart online, but the DS multilayer feels pretty nerfed to me so I don't really bother.

kevin @ Jan 30th 2008 10:15AM

Single player for now - my strategy game skills are lacking and I need to practice before embarrassing myself in a public game.

Josh @ Jan 30th 2008 10:20AM

Single player. I don't want to embarrass myself online.

Austin Smith @ Jan 30th 2008 10:23AM

I'm more excited about the single player. I think the new style will make this a rather unique campaign.

nevsky42 @ Jan 30th 2008 10:21AM

Single player; I've already blown countless hours on the first AW game and Fire Emblem...

Martin @ Jan 30th 2008 10:23AM

Single player for me. The hacker kids got themselves a trianer that works with online play, so I'm sure that won't last long.

Otherwise it'd be online.

acefondu @ Jan 30th 2008 10:24AM

Single Player!

Dan Russell @ Jan 30th 2008 12:08PM

Single player, definitely, but I'm not opposed to giving online a try.

Rob @ Jan 30th 2008 10:27AM

Online play, I enjoy playing against other people and seeing how well I do.

Ron @ Jan 30th 2008 10:40AM

single player

Eddy @ Jan 30th 2008 10:28AM

I love this series. Single player.

Stephen @ Jan 30th 2008 10:29AM

Online play, for sure.

Kenny @ Jan 30th 2008 10:30AM

Single Player definatly, mostly because my router hates wifi on DS. :(

KamenRiderTakoyaki @ Jan 30th 2008 10:30AM

Single player, I have no business playing online with my terrible strategies.

DiahrreaMan @ Jan 30th 2008 10:37AM

Single player I'd say. I've tried the gba iterations of the game and am curious how this DS version improves on it.
Plus, my friends are obsessed with it!

Clandaith @ Jan 30th 2008 10:34AM

Online all the way.

Jon Yi @ Jan 30th 2008 10:36AM

Single Player!

Brandon5000 @ Jan 30th 2008 10:42AM

I like single player more, but after it's done, multiplayer is what keeps it alive.

Kai Wong @ Jan 30th 2008 10:37AM

Surprisingly enough, the single-player. I've always been a fan for playing online, but I can tell that the developers have actually put a lot of effort into making characters and a story that resonate with players. Then again, it could also be that AWDS kinda ruined the online experience for me. Even so, after I finish the campaign/get my DS repaired, I'll jump into online.
