I can't write a witty title. I'm too busy geeking out.

Last year, Mrs. Mosley got the sudden bug to own a Nintendo DS. I certainly wasn't opposed to the idea, so we explored the option. Eventually, her desire ebbed and we ended up not laying down $130 for the system and however much more for games.

A tip today from Red and White has suddenly made a future purchase of a DS damn near inevitable:

LEGO Battles, developed by Hellbent Games, sounds like a kind of LEGO-based strategy game, in which players build and defend bases in the LEGO Castle, Pirates and Space Themes, using units mixed and matched from the sets. The press release promises "pirate swordsmen fighting side-by-side with wizards and aliens; dragons battling ninjas; and pirate ships launching broadsides against spacecraft and knights!" In addition to the single-player mode, local multiplayer battles will also be available.
