castlevania harmony of dissonance is awesome...very much like symphony of the night and may even be a bit better

I got a GBA SP too Brit, thing is the shit, haha..ooh I rhymed.

Anyway, I picked up Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis (a lot like Final Fantasy Tactics, pwns), Super Mario Advance 2 (Direct port of the original SNES mario, the one where you fly and shit, kicks ass too), and Golden Sun. I've heard all the Castlevanias are good.

I just picked up my Silver GBASP after Vegas as a reward gift for myself.

(By the way the Ereader DOES work with the GBASP contrary to popular reports.)

Games I would recommend: (more or less in order)

Tactics Ogre (if you can find it...its worth every penny of the $39 I paid for it)
Metroid Fusion
Super Mario Advance 2
Baseball Advance
Gradius Galaxies (This game is very underrated...think Life Force on NES)
Any Castlevania GBA game
Golden Sun (good RPG)
Sonic Advance 1 & 2
Super Puzzle Fighter 2
Mario Kart Advance
Pinball of the Dead (this game kicks ass IMO)
NHL2002
Fzero
Zelda: A link to the past (if you've beaten the SNES version of this game, skip it...same thing)
Super Dodgeball Advance
I would also suggest picking up a used copy of TetrisDX and DragonWarrior 1/2 on GBColor. Can't beat tetris for killing time.

I also picked up the Ereader the other day, and playing portable Excitebike/DonkeyKong/DonkeyKongJR is great. But might not be worth $45 to you...Portable Excitebike alone is worth $45 to me...but I'm a nostalgic gaming fiend.

/edit

A good tool to use to see if you're missing out on something that helps sometimes is

When I need a new game I go there and see what's good.

Hope this helps.

To supplement Vannoth, who confirmed the leetness of Tactics Ogre, you can find it at some Toys 'r Us (or through Amazon.com), and I found mine at a FuncoLand. EB doesn't carry it, and neither does Best Buy (it seems).

Mario Cart Advance is the best game for the GBA I own, and I own about 20 games. The game is an excellent value considering how much there is to play. You can unlock hidden tracks and other goodies if you want a challange. The entire original Super Mario Cart is included and unlockable.
