I finished Battalion Wars, for the Gamecube, the other night.  It was an alright game.  I might try the sequel when they consign it to the cheap crap bin.  I preordered Battalion Wars when they first announced it.  It was originally presented as being part of the Advance Wars series, which I love.  When it was revealed that it was going to be real time tactics I was dissapointed, but decided to give it a chance.  I played it once, for about 30 minutes, put it back in its box, and left it alone for 3 years.  A lot of games I own have similar stories.
