Tetris DS - DS

Not your dads Tetris

Ah good times are definitly to be had with this game. There are many variations of Tetris you can play. Playing the normal mode yields cool nintendo backgrounds and music. Tetris is cool by itself. In this version you get to watch games progress in the background. This is really a cool throwback to the classics. Icluded are various Mario stages and even Zelda stages. The game seems almost too easy at first. This is because of the ghost pieces and the ample time to rotate a piece even after it touchs down. This game also has mission and push modes for the multiplayer. There are even more game modes for single player enjoyment. The ability to play with 10 people on one cart is quite pleasing. They even through items in multiplayer that are remeniscant of mario kart power ups. Without going into details I'm going to say this game is a must buy. You can download the game from Nintendo's soon to arrive download stations. Check it out and you'll have a hard time not buying this sure fire cartidge of goodness.

Metroid Prime: Hunters - DS

The ultimate fps on handhelds period

This game is awesome. It starts out with an opening video that shows off the ds's power. This game looks good. Screenshots and videos don't do it justice. Their are so many small graphics touches that have you appreciting all the work put into the creation of this title. The control is dead on. I personally love using the thumbstrap. I will admit this is the only game I enjoy using the thumbstrap for. Multiplayer is deep and challenging. This games single player mode is just as satisfying, even if it's shorter than the gamecube Metroid. I can't say enough to convene how freaktasicaly awesome this game is. However some may be put off by the inability to customize buttons contorol functions individualy. If you are a hardcore gamer this game is a perfect addition to your library. If your more casual download the demo from a friend and play it. The only hurdle is controling your bounty hunter. It is easliy done once you've got the controls down. This wasn't an issue to me. The controls felt natural from the start. Some players may face a more of a learning curb than others. Regardless this is the most beutiful, impressive, and playable ds games ever, period. Go check it out. You won't regret it.
