Ok, a little birdy tells me I might be getting one for Christmas.

Anyone else have one?  Know any good games beyond Zelda?

FFXII: Revnant Wings is an RTS that's supposed to be good.  I got that, Mario Kart, and Zelda for it.  Zelda is a lot of fun, as is Mario Kart.

I have one also, the only game I have with any real play time is Advance Wars Dual Strike.  With the next installment comming out in a month, I wouldn't recommend getting it, I'd just wait for the new one.

I've heard good things about it.

What else do you have beyond that and the Star Trek game?

I'd recomend both GBA metroid games btw if you like the side view shooters like that.  Fushion is great, and Zero Mission is a redone version of the origional, that's not too shabby.

I'm going to write reviews of the 2 DS games I've been playing as soon as I get a chance.  I want to get a bit Further in Zelda, but it's a very good game, though it seems like it may be a bit short.  Mario Kart DS is a blast though.

I think I need to fool around with the Wifi stuff a bit more though.

I only have 4 DS games.  Those two and Final Fantasy III and Madden 08.  I got stuck in FF III and stopped playing it, and 08 sucks for the DS.

I've been told Madden is good for the DS, but only in that it's one of the best versions on a hand held to come around in a while, not that it's actualy that good.

I'd rather get Madden on the PC myself, but they still haven't gone with the new engine yet.

As for FF3, check out www.gamefaqs.com for hints, tips, and maps.   Helps a lot when you get stuck.

I have a few DS games as well.

I have Puzzlequest, it's a lot of fun it you liked playing bejeweled or a game like it.

Picross DS is a puzzle game in that you have to fill in the spaces to make a picture on a 5x5 up to a 20x25 grid.

Star Trek: Tactical Assault(I think) is fun but very repetitive.  I made it through the federation campaign and can't stand the Klingon one so far.

My stepson got Metroid Prime Hunters, and said it's pretty good.  I fooled around with the controls, and it works well for an FPS.  His wife likes the Spyro game (Eternal Night?), but she's also admitted she's partial to Spyro in general.

I'm going to try to write reviews for Mario Kart DS and Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, hope to have one up this week, and the other up by next week.

Advance Wars: days of ruin will be comming out on January 22nd.  I plan on picking it up soon therafter.  Than soon after that, Drew and I will be beating the hell out of each other, or at least I hope so.  It took a while for me to get cought up to his skill level in order to be a real challenge for him in the last game.  Now that I'm more familiar with the game, hopefully this one will be a quicker learn for me.  They have said this one should be more balanced, we'll see.

For what it's worth, I got up the Mario Kart DS review on the front page here.

As always, I'm open for feedback on reviews (Please use the review discussion thread though please).
