Instrument panels are sexy, aren't they?

It does make you wonder how many other great games are waiting in the wings!

Meanwhile Fast Food Simulator 6 is going gold. I could rationalize with the fact that DS is made for the general non-gamer gamer market. Nintendo is interested in maximizing its profit, not funding the revolution; nothing wrong with that. Just an old guy complaining...

In the meantime the only naval themed game is Steel Horizon a strategy title with 3d tactical sequences. The strategy part is not bad but the tactical sequences are a bit of a let down as they are time limited to a mere sixty seconds in each encounter.

Here are two more Japan exclusives:
The Senkan (The Battleship), a testerone-driven Yamato-simulator in which you fire main guns, AA batteries. Gets old fast.
And
Taiheiyou no Arashi (Pacific Storm)
Plays like Advanced Wars in the sea, i.e., unrealistic. None of these hit the spot for me.
