I'm gonna say Insecticide. Just because I like leggy women.

Multi-legged women count as "leggy" right?...........right????

Josh @ May 29th 2008 9:41AM

Drone Tactics, although I was really hoping Insecticide would be good.

Trickob @ Jun 3rd 2008 7:00PM

Drone Tactics, please

bombtrak @ May 29th 2008 9:45AM

Sweet...Drone Tactics for sure. Looks like an interesting RTS with some swell character design. Swell??? Yeah, I'm so bringing that word back.

avantgardener @ May 29th 2008 9:48AM

Drone Tactics....to get my RTS jollies off!

Swampgirl Inez @ May 29th 2008 9:51AM

Normally, I'd say Insecticide, but after reading reviews here, y'all have me believing that I'll prefer Drone Tactics. Guess I'll have to just win this giveaway to find out.

Zack @ May 29th 2008 9:55AM

Definitely Drone Tactics. I love these types of games!

Gennataos @ May 29th 2008 10:02AM

Drone Tactics for sure. I love strategy games, even buggy ones. See what I did there?...

GT @ May 29th 2008 10:03AM

Bugs are getting no love here so far, so I'll take Insecticide please.

kevin @ May 29th 2008 10:06AM

Definitely Drone Tactics. Advance Wars: Days of Ruin was my first strategy game and it hooked me.

jtedesco33 @ May 29th 2008 10:09AM

My wife just bought me a ds yesterday along with phoenix wright ace attorney. I have to say this is a great little system, drone tactics looked very interesting when I was at the store yesterday . Some RTS action on the go would really hit the spot when I'm out travelling for work.

Imaginary Thomas @ May 29th 2008 10:15AM

Drone tactics interests me slightly more because I love SRPGs. But insecticide is not without my desire and longing for the narratives and new ideas of gaming's golden age.

Waluigi @ May 29th 2008 10:15AM

I am not much of a strategist, and since I'm more of an adventurist, Incecticide interests me.

Justin @ May 29th 2008 10:15AM

Insecticide.... bug noir is my cuppa.

peteL @ May 29th 2008 10:17AM

Drone Tactics interests me because I like strategy games on the DS, and Atlus makes great games!

celticwulf @ May 29th 2008 10:19AM

I'm going to have to say Drone Tactics is interesting me more, and I'm not sure why...just seems like it could be fun :)

David Kearns @ May 29th 2008 10:23AM

Insecticide, just based on the box art...

Mark @ May 29th 2008 10:29AM

Drone Tactics... I'm an Advance Wars junkie...

Professor Lario @ May 29th 2008 10:37AM

Drone Tactics!

Also, is this a 'leave one comment per day' thing?

Jackrum @ May 29th 2008 10:39AM

Drone Tactics. When I bought my DS my first 2 games were MarioKart and Advance Wars. 3 months later I had still only played 1 lap of MarioKart. Since beating it I was feverishly awaiting Days of Ruin. Now I need something new for my tactics fix. Basically my DS case is like the little black case Vincent Vega carries in Pulp Fiction....

mattsoestupido @ May 29th 2008 10:44AM

I am a strategy whore, so drone tactics.

SamsMans @ May 29th 2008 10:44AM

Tough call . . . . insecticide had the hype at first, then really not great reviews . . . .so . . .. . yeah

Lekethuia @ May 29th 2008 10:49AM

Well I've been killing alot of bugs lately so the Drone Tactics game will give me lots of motovation and ideals. (evil grin)

MrTyzik @ May 29th 2008 10:51AM

Totally Insecticide even though reviews have not been stellar :(

BeachBoy @ May 29th 2008 10:58AM

Drone Tactics for sure! There are not many games like Super Robot Wars

rikki @ May 29th 2008 11:01AM

Drone Tactics.

While I don't really have much use for yet another 3D platformer with awkward controls, I could go for some bug-flavored SRPG-lite.

Kalbo @ May 29th 2008 11:01AM

Drone tactics interests me more over warrior ants!

Nik @ May 29th 2008 11:04AM

insecticide

Jason @ May 29th 2008 11:10AM

Drone Tactics for sure. I love a good RTS and controlling large mecha insects is my second favorite pastime behind adventures as a space marine battling hostile alien beings.

eugaet @ May 29th 2008 11:11AM

Insecticide, because I really don't want to believe the reviews. It could have been so much more (I assume, having not played it).

HappyFunBall @ May 29th 2008 11:14AM

Drone Tactics. Mecha-bugs in a turn-based-strategy wrapper. Enough said.

Joe @ May 29th 2008 11:25AM

Insecticide because I have been wanting it for some time but can never find it in the stores.

NightRunner @ May 29th 2008 11:26AM

Nothing but Drone Tactics for a turn-based strategy addict like me!

Eric @ May 29th 2008 11:27AM

Insecticide. I like the mystery aspect.

Roman @ May 29th 2008 11:29AM

Drone tactics.

It's got drones. And they are tactical.

Fire Fawkes @ May 29th 2008 11:40AM

Drone Tactics, Strategy game + Giant bugs of doom = hours of fun. It's simple math really!

Roto13 @ May 29th 2008 11:40AM

Drone Tactics looks more fun.

rosemo @ May 29th 2008 11:41AM

I'd have to say that Drone Tactics interests me more. I've played most of the LucasArts adventure games from the days of yore, but I think I've just read too much negative about Insecticide.

Dig @ May 29th 2008 11:55AM

Drone Tactics. I'm a fan of them SRPGs.

dangdong @ May 29th 2008 11:56AM

As much as I love a great tactical game, I think Insecticide has me more intrigued. It seems to have more style.

nil @ May 29th 2008 11:59AM

I am quite fascinated by the noir feel of Insecticide, but Drone Tactics surpasses that with the mechanical mantis. Really, can anything beat that?

jrh @ May 29th 2008 12:05PM

Drone Tactics.

Eddy @ May 29th 2008 12:06PM

I have Insecticide so Drone Tactics interests me more. Plus I like turn based strategy games.

e house @ May 29th 2008 12:06PM

Drone Tactics.

PyroJames @ May 29th 2008 12:13PM

Drone Tactics for sure. It looks like Advance Wars but with bugs! I wish I could stage a backyard war with real bugs but they don't like me and I'm deathly afraid of them.
