    Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
    The only feature of the DS used is the double screens, and it's used pretty well too. I wouldn't want it any different.

    SoulCalibur III
    This is Soul Calibur at its best. Any fan of Soul Calibur is going to love this game, I am assured of that.

    Animal Crossing: Wild World
    Possibly one of the greatest titles ever released on the Nintendo DS system.

    Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved
    While Geometry Wars is simple in nature, it’s definitely a well thought out and executed puzzle shooter that fans of Asteroids and other 80s classics will enjoy.

    Fight Night Round 3
    While the lack of modes and a some weak AI (Career Mode tends to be fairly easy) keeps Fight Night Round 3 from being a system seller, multiplayer is a blast and with millions of opponents online waiting to fight in the ring, the replay value of FNR3 is pretty high.

    Tales of Symphonia
    What made me love this game is the battle system.

    Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
    Another GTA added on to and upgraded. If you like GTA then you will like this game. If you’re tired of the series then maybe you should sit this one out.

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
    What’s amazing about the multiplayer portion is the co-op. Not only is it completely unique content, but it mixes the greatness of the single player with the amazing new online competitive mode.

    Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
    A game that stays true to the Castlevania series. [JPN Import]
    • 85 Metascore

    Daxter
    Daxter is the most technically impressive game on the PSP and delivers and extremely fun platforming experience that could be the best in Naughty Dog’s history.

    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent
    One of the major new additions to the series that really sets Double Agent apart from the rest is the branching storyline. Not only is the story eons better than the past games in both presentation and writing, but you actually get to change the course of what happens for better or worse.

    Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars
    In the end the single player blows, online is fun, and the replayability is lessened by the lack of complexity. It’s a very uninvolved RTS.

    Dead or Alive 4
    The biggest unique feature to the online component of DOA 4 is definitely the psychedelic crack land known as the lobby...The lobby is so strange and so far removed from what DOA is visually that you really feel like the developers went a bit mad at some point and threw this in for a laugh and a half.

    Final Fantasy IV Advance
    The game has a great story, one of my favorite stories in a game, offers fun RPG gameplay, so it's a great game for just about every RPG fan, or at least people who loved this game before.

    Super Paper Mario
    So the real fun of the game is when you’re playing as Mario and you tap A to switch dimensions. Dead ends suddenly become open roads as you swap between a flat wall and a paper thin backdrop. This really shows off the great 2D art and kills the 3D presentation. [JPN Import]

    Professor Layton and the Curious Village
    The short animated letter boxed movies spread out throughout the story are smooth and look crisp for the DS but, performances were varied for the two actors who were taking on voice acting for the very first time.

    Dead Rising
    A unique, inventive, and fun game that youll most likely want to play and own due to its huge amount of replayability from random slash-a-thons to side quests and item discovery; you can spend a whole lot of time in this game. Then again if the save system and RPG leveling system turn you off you might be better off renting it first.

    Metroid Prime: Hunters
    A decent FPS single player game with an excellent online component.

    Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
    Addictive battle system.

    Virtua Fighter 5
    Virtua Fighter 5 is downright incredible. Its a near perfect port from the Arcades and features some of the most engrossing gameplay and visuals ever to grace a home console. [JPN Import]

    • 90 Critic Score
    MotorStorm
    Motorstorm is pretty much the best off-road driving simulation ever to grace a console. The physics are so accurate, yet altered for arcade like effect, and feel so right that the development team must have had at least a couple Physics PhD’s on staff to pull off such a feat. [JPN Import]

    Tetris DS
    A few things may shock people as being non-tetris, but these days nothing can be non-tetris as Tetris lives in all of us.

    Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria
    At a length of about thirty hours, the game may be considered short by epic RPG standards, but it also makes the game that much more replayable. [JPN Import]
    • 83 Metascore
    • 81 Critic Score
    LocoRoco
    Despite the lackluster gameplay, Loco Roco does have one thing going for it: charm. The flash-looking graphics are extremely impressive in art design and from a technological standpoint as the visuals just look incredible on the PSP screen. [JPN Import]

    Bleach: The Blade of Fate
    At the end of the day Bleach should have been the best fighting game to ever grace a portable, but there's just one major sticking point keeping it away from that goal: the d-pad. [JPN Import]

    • 68 Critic Score
    Call of Duty 3
    Take one part classic Call of Duty scripted FPS action, add in two parts improved level design, another one part updated graphics, and just about four parts upgraded multiplayer and you've got the ultimate Call of Duty stew.

    Picross DS
    With the fairly large number of puzzles that come with Picross DS, the game will keep you occupied for quite some time. But with the addition of Wi-Fi features, you could find yourself picking up the game very often even after completing all puzzles.

    Clubhouse Games
    It’s a great collection and with single player objectives and online capabilities it’s one to own.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Gunstar Super Heroes
    The game is fun, but it has some tedious parts such as the helicopter stage or the parts where you are on top of the small ship. So if you want some good boss and mini-boss fights then this game is for you.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Rogue Galaxy
    A game that's solid in its foundation, provides a standard rpg tale, and last quite a good length. Yet at the same time it lacks anything to make it distinct, exciting, and something that players should care about. While it is no doubt a technical masterpiece, in the current rpg state of the PS2, where quality rpgs exist in mass, it's tough to recommend Rogue Galaxy. [JPN Import]
