Help, I’m addicted to my Nintendo DS!
I picked up a Nintendo DS a few days ago, and I have to say, I’m hooked! I’ve spent the past five years or so playing games on XBOX and XBOX 360. Having spent much of my time playing first person shooters and other action games, it’s something of a novelty to be playing games designed for all-ages. Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass, while not being the deepest Zelda game, is a great portable spin-off for the classic series, and it has a really great art style and slick presentation. Likewise, Mario 64 is astonishing close to the Nintendo 64 original, and I’m also having a great time cracking out some of my old Gameboy Advance games.
Although the DS is mostly known for Hannah Montana games and the like, there are a surprising number of titles aimed at hardcore gamers. I’d put the system somewhere between the Nintendo 64 and the original Playstation in terms of the depth of available content, and I’m looking forward to such games as the new Advance Wars, Professor Layton and the Mysterious Village and the DS version of Myst.
