The portable gents at Modojo have put together their version of a DS Lite buyer's guide to help transition newcomers to the system. From the article: "In the 19 months the Nintendo DS has been available, its library has quickly grown into one of the best available for ANY platform - console or mobile. Things were pretty dismal for the first six months or so, but around last fall things picked up significantly with the release of Mario Kart DS, and the steady flow of AAA titles hasn't let up since."The guide recommends several titles that we agree with like Kirby Canvas Curse (avg. score 86) and Phoenix Wright (avg. score 81). However, notice some of their "games to skip" titles: Wario Ware Touched! (avg. score 81), Nintendogs (avg. score 83), and Super Princess Peach (avg. score 75). The latter is debatable, but the first two? Furthermore, here are some of the games they recommend to merely "consider:" New Super Mario Bros. (avg. score 89), Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (avg. score 89), and Metroid Prime Hunters (avg. score 86).
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! To each his own, I guess.
