My DS Games

The DS is my favorite platform. These are all the games I own.

Showing 1-10 of 50 items

Yoshi Touch & Go

1. Yoshi Touch & Go

When I bought my DS in May of 2005 (about seven months after its release), this was one of the only decent games for it. It's pretty shallow, but it can be pretty fun and addictive.

Meteos

1. Meteos

One of the early games I bought for DS. It wasn't terribly spectacular, but it was a decent and unique puzzle game.

Kirby: Canvas Curse

1. Kirby: Canvas Curse

A great game. You know, I've always found traditional Kirby games to be petty boring; they're insanely easy, and if you want, you can just fly right through most of the levels. It's games like Kirby: Canvas Curse that are great because they step outside of the normal Kirby mold. It's fun & creative, and you can't really pull it off without touch controls. Another Kirby favorite of mine is Kirby's Dream Course for the Super Nintendo.

Advance Wars: Dual Strike

1. Advance Wars: Dual Strike

A great game, but one I never finished. As with most Advance Wars games, It got really difficult and I eventually gave up. I tried to back to it two years later and I was unfortunately worse than before. At that point I shelved it for good. Great game though!

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

1. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

It was Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow that made me go out and buy a GameBoy Advance. I was really happy to see a direct sequel to it. I really enjoyed this game.

Metroid Prime Pinball

1. Metroid Prime Pinball

I remember groaning when I heard that this game was coming out. I never thought Metroid should be subjected to spin-offs. Fortunately, this is a great game and a unique adaption of the Metroid Prime story. The only lame aspect was the rumble pack, but hey, the price was right (free).

Mario Kart DS

1. Mario Kart DS

Even almost four years after the release of the DS, I still believe that this the one and only must-have game. It's the only game on the system that just about anybody can pick up and play, and the depth buried in its mechanics mean that hardcore players can dump hours of time into it.

Sonic Rush

1. Sonic Rush

I don't play a lot of Sonic games, so I'll never know what makes this one so much better than all the rest of them. It's a great game, but it felt like most of the other Sonic games I played back in the day. Maybe that's what's so great about; the best thing about is that it's a return to form?

Resident Evil: Deadly Silence

1. Resident Evil: Deadly Silence

Before Resident Evil 4 came out, I remember buying a double pack for the GameCube (Included RE0 and REmake) because it included a free demo of the reinvented horror series. I loved the demo, but prompty sold the two traditional RE games back; for whatever reason, they just weren't for me. I told myself that until this Resident Evil DS came out, which I bought only because I wanted a new DS game. I don't know why, but that's when it clicked. I loved it. Now, I own and have completed every RE game in the series. I loved 'em all!

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

1. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

I'm the kind of gamer who likes to preorder. I do it so that I always know when my game is coming out (thanks to that handy telephone call), and I always get some sort of worthless-yet-fantastic preorder gift whenever available. But I didn't preorder Phoenix Wright, mainly because I'd written it off the moment I'd heard about it. How much fun could hot, text-driven, litigous action be anyway? But after all the great reviews poured in, I figured it'd be silly not to at least give it a try. So I finally picked it up about three months after its release...and I'm really happy I did, because the Ace Attorney series has turned into one of my most favorite. Charming characters, well-written dialogue, clever pop-culture references, and a genuinely interesting story had me on the edge of whatever it was I was sitting the whole time. Great game.
