IGN’s Top 25 DS Games – Part 2
By blog on May. 9, 2009.
Okay so picking up where I left off, and I did manage to keep from looking at these in the intervening time.
10: Advance Wars: Dual Strike – This is one that I did really enjoy. The whole series has been a lot of fun.
9: Pokémon Diamond & Pearl – When you are in the mood, this is a really fun game. When you aren’t, it is tedious. You just have to know when to play and when to let it go.
8: Meteos – Another Planet Puzzle League type game, I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Been done better in other games.
7: Metroid Prime: Hunters – I prefer Metroid games in 2D.
6: Tetris DS – Very fun, very addictive, very fun to challenge your SO on. One of the few games where we are evenly matched, as my reflexes are much faster than hers. But in Tetris DS, that isn’t really an issue until you get over 100 lines through. We had a heck of a lot of time challenging each other on this one, I currently hold the title with 136 lines cleared.
5: The World Ends With You – I have this, but unfortunately I have only played for about ten minutes or so. I think I will have to revisit the game.
4: Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow – Very good game, I have enjoyed playing this one on and off since it came out.
3: Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass – I freaking loved this game. I had so much fun! I love the cell shaded look to Wind Waker and was so happy to see it return with Phantom Hourglass. I know there is a sequel in the works – Spirit Tracks which focuses on a train… I am skeptical but trust in the power of Legend of Zelda to kick ass in whatever way they choose to – and I am about as excited as a six year-old on Christmas Eve.
2: Mario Kart DS – Heaps, HEAPS, of fun! Another game that kept my SO and I up late at night challenging each other.
1: New Super Mario Bros – I had a lot of fun with this game. It’s fun to play through the first time, but then to try to go back and get every coin and all that, the fun of this one goes on and on. Good ol’ Mario!
So, what do I think of IGN’s list? I am in agreement most, if not all, of the time with their placement of games on the list. Those games that I am not interested in, I don’t doubt that they are great games, it is just my personal bias and preference which precludes me from thinking they are great.
