    Clip: Anno 1701 Trailer

    Is that colonial expansionism in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? Here's a look at Disney Interactive's Anno 1701 for the Nintendo DS, due out next month.

    It's art of Sunflowers' Anno series, which includes PC versions of 1701, 1602, and 1503. Fine PC games in their own right, but the translation to DS frightens me. While it may have worked for Age of Empires, I'm not sure this is a franchise ready to take that leap. The early 1700's just don't strike me as quirky handheld fun. Michael Fahey
