The World Ends with You

1. The World Ends with You

Must..resist..emo..urgings. With its completely different take on the stale RPG formula, inventive controls and Zetta cool characters. TWEWY is easily one of the best games on the system. So Cah Toa bitches

Elite Beat Agents

2. Elite Beat Agents

The game that sold a 1000 DSes (whats the plural of DS?)..okay maybe only 2. But still its a great game with a great soundtrack and insane concepts. Yes Ouendan is the original, but I think this is the best

Super Robot Wars W

3. Super Robot Wars W

My favourite of the series bar the OG gba games. It has GaoGaiGar in it. Thats how awesome this game is. A SRPG for the mech fan in your family, SWRW takes what worked on the original versions (ie crazy attack cutscenes, masses of customisation and fanfiction storylines) and makes it better. HIKARE NI NARE

Trauma Center: Under the Knife

4. Trauma Center: Under the Knife

A one of a kind series. TC was a revolution in gaming for me. Its basically a puzzle game done up with an anime storyline and fluctuating difficulty. Saving people from GUILT gave the puzzles a sense of meaning as opposed to the usual irrelevancy that they are given. Shame my touchscreen is getting on a bit.

Jump Ultimate Stars

5. Jump Ultimate Stars

Do you like Shonen anime? Do you like Super Smash Bros? Do you like evolving your characters and fiddling with new ways of playing? Then this sir, is the game for you. Hours of play mixed with a fun combat system and tons of playable characters make this one of the games i enjoyed most on my DS

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor

6. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor

I've always been a massive SMT fan since I first played Nocturne. I picked this game over Strange Journey because..well I enjoyed it a hell of a lot more. Instead of the First Person view we have another SRPG with SMT trademark fusion and demon skills. The storyline conceit seems to have been directly taken from TWEWY, but still it managed to be fresh and exciting. A great game that still has not been released in the EU.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

7. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

The first and so the one that goes on the list. This in part gave me the idea to go do a law degree. Great game, great storylines, great fun. Play it now.

Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars

8. Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars

I remembered vaguely the original version when it came out. Playing it again on the DS was a revelation. Lovely graphics, great storyline and the touchscreen really did fit in well with the control scheme. The extra Nico scenes are always welcome.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

9. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

First game I had for my DS. I love Castlevania games...and ones that take after Metroid all the more so.

Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise

10. Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise

Take what was great about Viva Pinata, shrink it and put it in a DS. Very soothing, and basically a fun game about tending a garden and the assorted animals with it.
