I think 2005 was a marked improvement over 2004 and (especially) 2003, one of the weakest years ever for video games. Dragon Quest 8 (probably the best game released this gen with the exception of maybe Rez), Minish Cap, Ys 6, Radiata Stories, Castlevania:DOS, Mario Kart, Phoenix Wright, Sonic Rush, Lumines, Meteos, Shadow of the Colossus, Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2, there were just lots of quality games out, even though both GC and Xbox seemed to have been all but forgotten. We've definitely hit the peak of this generation, now things'll be slow until PS3/Revo/X360 kick into gear.

I cannot understand the Advance Wars DS thing. This (imo) is the worst game I have played in a while - and reminds me why I should never listen to reviewers. It is so boring and stupid and pointless ahhhhh!
Being the first game that I bought for my ds (because of high ratings) it actually made me regreat buying the DS until I played Mario 64, and Kirby Canvas Curse. This is the only game on DS that i cannot play through it sucks that bad.

For a breakdown of games 4/5 stars and above across multiple platforms, check out GamerDad's Holiday Shopping Guide at http://www.gamerdad.com/detail.cfm?itemID=2786 which links to all of the individual guides.

Loads of good stuff for any platform this year.

All I want is Animal Crossing for DS.
I found this year to be a pretty good for games, especially for the DS and PC. I've been kept quite busy. :)
