Killzone:Liberation, awesome.

If you like retro gaming, that is actually the most valid reason to get a psp, as it is a more then serviceable ROM player. Speaking of System Shock, someone is actually porting it to the PSP, how awesome is that. Get a 1 gig memorycard, go to the underdogs, and grab what you can.

And no truly great DS games??

To the stake!

*NOT MANY*

I only have Castlevania and Advance Wars actually, and both are just continuations of gba series (with little to no difference), other games like Mario and Yoshi's Island seem to follow the same trend. I was intrested in picking up Phoenix Wright, but then i'm not sure if i'll like that, and *if* I could find it it's still over 40 bucks, which I find a bit much for a handheld game.

Oh yeah, I also have Nintendogs but that got old *fast*, 2 hours in game time and I'm looking to ebay it.

Do you have any other recommendations ?

Age of empires is really fantastic(not at all like the pc game, more like fire emblem), Metroid Prime Hunters is a must have, Animal Crossings if that is your thing, Mariokart, many many cool games. Oh yeah the brain academy's, awesome. It's nintendo, you know what to expect, small quirky addictive games. Still think the GBA>DS though when it comes to the library, but since DS plays them all, yay.

Hmm none of these games really catch my attention, Mario kart is something I might eventually get, as is AoE if I find it cheap (honestly, with fire Emblem and Advance Wars, do I really need another TBS game ?).

Trauma Center seems like it might be good, but I heard it was very hard. FFIII might be something I'll get (but isn't released yet). It looks like we'lls till have to wait another year or more for Zelda and DragonQuest (okay, that one is just announced) and there's no mention of Fire Emblem DS (damn Wii...).

Don't get me wrong, I still think it's library is more interesting than the PSP's. But it's no where near as diverse and awesome as the GBA's or PS2's.

Phoenix Wright was the game I got with my DS. I intended to play it during my lunch hour at work, thinking that as it was about an 8 hour game it'd take a couple of weeks. I'd got it completed within three days. I played that game at all odd hours, including while standing stirring some soup I was cooking for my dinner. Heck - I ate and played, fork in one hand and stylus in the other. Loved the way I could put the console down on a safe surface and play while doing something else, reading the text and tapping the screen as appropriate; it made it a truly portable 'play whenever' game. Perfect for a frog with limited gaming time.

I've not found another DS game I like as much, nor one which can be played while crazy things like stirring soup. Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime is the closest I've found so far ... but that was too easy even for my tastes, and a bit repetitive in the end.

That's what I like about TBS games, there's no time pressure so you can just leave em lying around for a while without needing to save or anything. AW:DS has stylus controls so that might work.
