Pretty much just Tetris DS. I mean it's tetris but they made it better. All the modes are my favorite.

Mario DS I got this as the first game for the DS. Overall, I am fairly impressed with how much stuff is packed in it.
Meteos I heard this game was pretty good right here in Planet GameCube Forums, and upon research, found out it was indeed pretty good. Now after playing it, I say it's freaking awesome. My only complaint is that you can win just by randomly doodling around on the touch screen real fast.
Animal Crossing DS (Recently Sold) I was horribly dissapointed with Animal Crossing: Wild World, mostly because I was expecting a sequel. Wild World is basically a port, with the only redeeming value that you can play on-line with a friend. Although this is great, it just wasn't new enough to me to keep my interest.
Mario Kart DS I am absolutely astounded with how well this game was built. All the itty bitty details throughout the entire game just shows how much polish Nintendo put into this rendition of Mario Kart. I'd have to say that this Mario Kart's physics rival even those of Mario Kart 64's in terms of most fun. My only complaint is that when you smash into a wall, you're just stopped, there's no real attempt to create realistic wall kinetics.
I love the single player, I love the multiplayer, this game is a great buy.
Metriod Prime: Hunters Unfortunately I havent gotten too far into the game yet, and mostly only played multiplayer(WFC/ against AI) when I could. I am thoroughly impressed with the graphics and gameplay, and the single-player doesnt do too bad of a job of being a good game in itself. I'd probably find MP:H a lot more fun if I could actually play with more than one person, and even better yet, speak with them, but oh well. Deffinitly a great game.

If you haven't played Sprung yet, get it. You can still find it at some game stores new OR used, or at online stores. Seriously, this game is HY-Larious.

Advance Wars DS For the love of god get this game! I find it sad that it doesn't seem to get the attention it deserves, it's a much better succesor to the throne than the second one for the GBA. It's currently, and most likely will remain, my favorite game for the system.

I'm currently playing Ghost House on Master System. It's a very emotional game, punching dracula and all. Good thing DS is crap and there are no good games on it, ever, so I can play this!

I had totally forgotten about Advance Wars DS, Arbok. I'll put it on my list.

It currently has Bleach DS in it. Leave it to Treasure to outdo Sega's console games on a handheld (and leave it to Sega to completely remove the blood in a game based on a series with more blood than Mortal Kombat. Sega does what Nintendon't?). I think this isn't the first time Treasure showed Sega how it's done, especially in a licensed game (Astro Boy!).
Sometimes there's Kirby Power Paintbrush in my DS but that game often frustrates me.

Apparently, Sprung is a game that is beloved by only a lucky few, including myself, my brother, and our little 8 year old cousin.
But most other gaming review sites didn't know what to make of it and their very low scores represented that confusion.
Incidentally, Sprung is a "Dating" game. This is a Japanese genre, developed by Ubisoft, a french company, and with a script written by an American who works for reality TV.

EGM TOTALLY hated the game. They gave it ones and zeros. It's only second to "Ping pals" as one of the worst reviewed games at EGM (that was way back when the DS was released, though).

I just can't understand a bad score for a game that had me playing for hours and hours under my blankets when the lights went out. I can't imagine how this game could be a dissatisfying purchase when my brother would keep me up at night because I could hear his raucous laughter from down the hall when he stole the game from me. I don't see how this game can be written off when it is the one game a certain 8-year old girl keeps wanting to play whenever I bring my DS over.

I'm also on Sk8land at the moment, but I'm stuck trying to do the Downtown pro challenge with the skitching... my character just never builds up quite enough speed to make that jump.

What about Tetris Worlds for PC?

Who needs to buy retail Tetris for the PC? Hell, you can just grab QBasic and write your own!

Hmm...I was trying to get back into AC:WW, but, as said, it's a pretty disappointing sequel.
TAKE THAT!
This is clearly evidenced by the presence of a "Yay Day," your Honor. Phoenix Wright owns. I'm still playing MKDS...never gets old. I do touch up on my Sk8land game every once in a while, too.

Sprung is a dating game where you select dialogue options to play. It has both a "guy" quest and a "girl" quest since there are two main characters, and although everything about the gameplay is quite unimpressive (after all, you're just choosing what to say), the dialogue is amazing. Sometimes it's hilarious, sometimes it's punny, sometimes it's wacky, sometimes it's intentionally corny, especially the dream sequences when your transported to a faux 1940's black and white noir movie setting.
he closest comparison to Sprung I can make for general gamers is Lucas Art's classic adventure game series Monkey Island, which itself is a treasure trove of wit and off-beat humor.
Here are some sample snippets so that you can judge for yourself:
______ Leanne: Is that one of your standard lines or what? Brett: No, really, I'm interested. Leanne: oh, a strange guy approaches me at the club and he's really interested?! I'm luckier than a one-eyed dog in a meat house! ______ Brett: My name isn't important right now. Shana: You are so right! The only name that matters is the one given to us by the Universal Mother. My earth name is actually Ariel O'laughlin Du Lac. But don't tell anyone. Just call me Shana in public. ______ Brett: Did you come here with anyone? Shana: oh, no. When you belong to humanity there's no shame in showing up at a club alone. Shana: ... oh so ... desperately alone ... Shana: Do you ever find joy in rejection? I have to everyday. It's not so bad. Brett: Do you ever think there's too much peace in the world? Shana: HA HA! That's funny! Brett: Thanks. Shana: Isn't it lovely to be so attuned to the universe? Brett: No really. Shana: HA HA! That's funny! Brett: I'm not joking, really. Shana: Oh, I get it. Shana: Breathe Shana breathe Shana breathe Shana. Shana: Nom yo ho ren ge kyo nom yo ho ren ge kyo ... Shana: Ahhhh ... better! Brett: I've never met someone who wasn't embarassed to chant in a techno club before. Shana: I've never met someone who could break my peace barrier. You are really an interesting individual. Shana: Here, take this! (You have received the Cell Phone - Shana's #) Shana: It's not actually my number, it's my grandmother's. Shana: But if you call her, she'll take a message, place it in an empty bottle, summon the Mountain Gale on the Auronic Whistle ... Shana: ... and then the Aspen Falcon will deliver the message to me. Don't forget to leave your callback number. See you later! ________
... I love this game!
Of course, EGM DID give it a 2.0 and most reviewers panned it. If you're willing to play a game where you simply choose dialogue options and get the results above, then it might be worth tracking down a copy of Sprung, it should be relatively cheap by now!
