check out gamefaqs.com if you're really desperate to figure stuff out.

I have been playing my DS (not a lite, since I bought it so long ago) and I can't stop playing Tetris. I get in some kind of magic Tetris zone and then no one can talk to me.

I'm currently addicted to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. I'm thankful Nintendo made it so we could play Gameboy Advance games on the DS, there are some great GBA games.

I second the rec for gamefaqs.com, it'll tell you everything you need to know about any video game.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time is one of the best DS games I've played, it surprised me how much I enjoyed it.

Hey Megan,

I'm gonna have the Whore Moans in on my radio show on May 16th... interested in stopping by our station (RainyDawg) to help interview them?

As an avid 'gamer' and owner of a [white] DS Lite, I'd also highly highly suggest Elite Beat Agents. Still the best thing on the system.

and! The new pokemon came out the other day, and the secret is that all the gamers play it because they're AWESOME even if originally meant for 5 year olds.

I've also heard really great things about Hotel Dusk: Room 215, but it's apparently hard to find so I haven't played it yet. The whole thing is very very plot/narrative driven and seems to take itself very seriously, but I guess it's justified.

Just some ideas...

When we bought my son (not for me of course) the Nintendo DS for xmas I totally hogged it to play Yoshi's Island. I beat the game...took my forever, but I beat it. I'm such a geek :(

Oh yeah, Elite Beat Angels and Hotel Dusk are musts. Also, I'd suggest Kirby Canvas Curse.

Hotel dusk really more of an interactive mystery novel, still great though.

How has nobody mentioned Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

Objection!

I second dirge. The Ace Attorney games are the BEST. TAKE THAT! and take pride in being a ds owner!

Sure, Phoenix Wright and Elite Beat Agents are fun (although EBA's timing is actually not always perfect), but the stand-out game on the DS is The New Super Mario. I've 100%'d it twice now. *flexes nerd muscles*

Although right now I'm completely addicted to Puzzle Quest, and I suggest everybody else do the same.

Puzzle Quest is electronic crack.

Phoenix Wright is made of awesome.

There are just tons of great games for the DS.

#4 is right. But I think Electroplankton is even great sober. Pink Godzilla has a few copies of the deluxe Japanese version with two extra levels. Or at least they did when I bought a copy last week.

it's great sober but only entertains for fifteen minutes. you can get lost in that for hours under the right conditions. ebay worked for me when i was looking for a copy, but pink godzilla is really where the original poster should go if she wants advice (as well as selection) on games for the ds

Nintendogs - get the Poodle edition.

And I agree, gamefaqs is pretty useful.

Kirby! I have a pink DS on which I tend to play nothing but Kirby Squeak Squad constantly. I am addicted and I love it very much. My only problem with Nintendogs is that I do a lot of my playing at bus stops, and it's a little embarassing yelling into the Game Boy out in the open. Elite Beat Agents is brilliant, and I would like Super Princess Peach a whole lot more if I could get through the damned opening to the third boss where you're supposed to hit all the ghosts...frustrating.

I am looking forward greatly to the new Pokemon, though.
