Well it inspires me at least. The guys over at Anino mobile have done the Philippines proud, coming in as finalists for the 2007 IMGA awards with their game “Anima Wars”. Anima Wars is:

a game played on two levels. On one level it is a Turn-based Strategy game reminiscent to the board game Risk. It allows the player to take control of a horde of warriors in a battle to capture the enemy’s stronghold. On another level it is a hack-and-slash game that allows the player to use champions to slay the enemy’s grunts and/or go head-to-head with another champion. Anima Wars’ Network Game uses a unique “ghosting system” that allows up to 4 players to cooperate, strategize, and fight another 4 players. This game is rendered in an Isometric 3d environment.

Whatever. Check out the video on Youtube and the promotional pics on the IMGA website to get a sneak peek at the game.
