Nintendo DS Games

Post by Dregor Thule »

I'm looking for a new game to grab for the DS, preferably and RPG or puzzle game. I've got Puzzle Quest, it's great. Also have FFIII. So, taking all recommendations on great games!

Out of boredom and while looking for something to play I picked up Pokemon Pearl a couple days ago.

I'm still not sure how I feel about it to be frank.

The combat is somewhat rudimentary and plays out to be a rock/paper/scissor scenario most of the time. Once you level up your little critters enough, you end up 1-shotting most of the stuff you run into provided you match the right strength against the right weakness.

The story is somewhat non-existant so as to appeal to the widest amount of kids possible.

There seems to be a ton of side stuff to do aside from battleing poke-critters but I haven't touched on that much.

Aside from combat, the game is a top-down affair that kinda reminds me of the old school Zelda games.

I know enough that I won't buy another poke-game again but it is an interesting experience finding out what all the fuss is about.

I got and played through Puzzle Quest as a Wizard on the DS. Was a fun game. I traded it in today alongside Metroid Prime Hunters and Easth Defence Force 2017 for Bioshock(EB Games up here has this "Trade 3 get 1 Free" deal so I took advantage of it).

If they release it on the XBLM at 800 points or under, I may re-buy it there.

Hearing good things about the Mana DS game. Gonna check a few more reviews before I pick it up, but positive so far.

Not a RPG or a puzzle game but I recently tried out DK - Jungle Climber and found it entertaining. It's the first time I've picked up the DS in months as nothing good has really came out for it that I can remember. Not sure how long it will hold my interest though. It does involve a lot of button pushing to maneuver vertically.
