IGN’s Top 25 DS Games – Part 1
By blog on May. 7, 2009.
I was browsing on my favorite games related site earlier today, IGN, when I happened to notice that they had finished and posted their list of the top 25 DS games. Well, what good gaming blogger could resist!
So I am going to outline the list here, and make notes on games that I am actually familiar with… I haven’t seen the list, so I will be giving my initial reactions here.
25: Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time – I love the Mario series, right from the get go I have loved that little plumber, but these particular iterations, the team up RPGish ones, have always held less appeal. Not saying they aren’t good, but not my thing.
24: Tony Hawk’s American Sk8land – Blegh, no thanks.
23: Planet Puzzle League – Alright, but the premise is built upon in better puzzle games.
22: Space Invaders Extreme – Not my thing, really. Overly repetitive and I like more depth to a game.
21: Picross DS – Interesting idea, doesn’t exactly feel like a ‘game’ though.
20: Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords – Similarl to Planet Puzzle League, I preferred a different take on this puzzle style
19: N+ – I completely missed this game, it looks interesting, I think I might have to pick this one up.
18: Final Fantasy Tactics A2 – I prefer the other style of Final Fantasy games on the DS, but this is still good.
17: Kirby Canvas Curse – I love that pink puff ball, but this game wasn’t quite as good as expected. Good Kirby fun, though.
16: Sonic Rush – Honestly, never played it.
15: Elite Beat Agents – Bloody brilliant game, actually. Brutally difficult at times, which can lead to being super frustrated, but still a very fun music game.
14: Guitar Hero: On Tour – Never played any of these games… they just don’t appeal.
13: Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword – I loved Ninja Gaiden on the XBOX, but the super difficulty level left me… not exactly running to come back to the series. I would like to try this one, though.
12: Nintendogs – Fun for about fifteen minutes… then the puppy just irritated me, even if it was cute.
11: Animal Crossing: Wild World – I did have fun with this game, for a short while. Again, doesn’t feel enough like a game to keep me there.
So those are my initial reactions to 25 to 11. Tomorrow I will follow up with 10 to 1!
