 | Age of Empires: The Age of Kings
Buy new: $44.91 / Used from: $3.56 Finished, unlocked all bonus material: You wouldn't think an RTS would translate well to the handheld, but Age of Empires is fantastic. Turn-based tactical strategy game that turns out to be lots of fun.
|
 | Asphalt Urban GT
Buy used from: $4.29 Finished. Not terrible, but not great either. A pretty OK racer.
|
 | Chrono Trigger
Buy new: $19.66 / Used from: $16.48 Finished. A great RPG that will consume lots of times. If I remember correctly I have around 30 hours on this and there is plenty of little side quests I still have to do. If you missed it the first time around, DON'T MISS IT TWICE!
|
 | Clue/Mouse Trap/Perfection/Aggravation
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $8.98 A few board games "ported" to the DS. If you really want to play these games with your family, why don't you buy the actual board games? Not recommended.
|
 | Diddy Kong Racing DS by Nintendo DS/complete
Buy new: $35.99 / Used from: $8.00 Finished, 100 perent completion: A nice little port of the Nintendo 64 game. A slight graphical downgrade and a few simplifications, but overall it translates well. An OK game if you're getting bored with Super Mario Kart DS
|
 | DK Jungle Climber
Buy new: $67.91 / Used from: $14.79 Finished, 100 percent completion. The controls are VERY difficult to wrap your head around at first, but if you can get used to them you'll definitely be awarded by a very satisfying and unique "platformer," if you can call it that. I love it!
|
 | Viewtiful Joe Double Trouble
Buy new: $23.75 / Used from: $2.75 Finished. An OK side-scrolling action title. The touch-controls can be unresponsive, but also help create some very unique puzzles. It didn't blow me away, but it was enjoyable enough.
|
 | Madden NFL 2005
Buy new: $58.99 / Used from: $2.25 For a handheld sports game, it isn't TERRIBLE...but it isn't very good either. Probably best to just avoid this one.
|
 | Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story
Buy new: $28.54 / Used from: $17.38 Finished, 100 percent completion: I LOVED THIS GAME! The storyline is clever and the dialoge is hilarious. Highly recommended.
|
 | Mario Kart DS
Buy new: $33.50 / Used from: $18.49 Finished, 100 percent completion(including beating all ghost times set by Nintendo Staff): I've undoubtedly played this game more than any other DS game. A fantastic cart racer with vibrant and colorful visuals. Lots of fun. Single player gets old because, even on the hardest difficulty it's rare to lose, but get a group of friends together and it's a blast.
|
 | Mario Party DS
Buy new: $27.99 / Used from: $15.23 Finished, 100 percent completion: Yes, sadly, I've played this game so much I actually have 100 percent completion on it. Lots of fun minigames, great fun with friends, highly recommended.
|
 | Metroid Prime Pinball
Buy new: $48.00 / Used from: $6.98 Finished, 100 percent completion: The game isn't bad but there just aren't enough boards to keep it interesting. Its ok, just don't pay full price for it.
|
 | New Super Mario Bros
Buy new: $32.99 / Used from: $13.89 Finished, 100 percent completion(even 99,999,999 points): Mario is back and better than ever! Ok, maybe it's a little on the easy side, but I still had a lot of fun playing it.
|
 | Rayman DS
Buy used from: $6.15 Finished. It's not terrible. Graphics are a little blurry, and controls are a little stiff. It's playable but wouldn't recommend it too highly.
|
 | Resident Evil Deadly Silence
Buy new: $42.49 / Used from: $18.24 Finished. This is actually a port of the original Resident Evil game. It would have been Resident Evil DS but they turned the DS into Deadly Silence. Great for fans of the original game, or RE fans who missed the original. Never been a big fan of survival/horror though so I've only went through it once.
|
 | Super Mario 64 DS
Buy new: $27.99 / Used from: $17.49 Finished, 100 percent completion(twice): A port of Super Mario 64 to the DS. It translates well and is just as fun as it was when I was a child. The lack of a joystick was only a mild deterrent. Still a great game.
|
 | Tetris DS
Buy new: $74.95 / Used from: $17.11 You know what you're getting here. It's Tetris! :)
|
 | The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Buy new: $38.75 / Used from: $14.90 Finished, 100 percent completion: The touch-screen controls are frustrating, as is the temple you must complete over and over again, and I still loved it! It's actually my first Zelda game and I'm glad I finally gave the series a shot. Very fun.
|
 | Touchmaster
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $2.95 Collection of minigames. I actually find myself playing it quite a bit. Unfortunately, my copy has started to freeze every time I try to play the Trivia game. Not sure why.
