christ that was one long list o.o

The funny part is I'm not anywhere near being fully updated.

@Outlawauron I didn't play every single one of these games so I don't know if they are all good or not personally. I usually pick the ones that interest me while still getting at least above 70% gamerankings score, and have a good amount of fanbase that enjoyed the game. If you have any game that you have played, and think it doesn't deserve to be on the list, please mention it and why you think it doesn't deserve to be on the list. Just so people get more than one perspective here.

Oh, and about this thread - a good list but the title annoys be a bit. It sounds a bit too much like a fact.

But it undoubtedly is!

Then I must be lying about not wanting to buy a DS ;)

Yes, you are. Even if to yourself :P



     

 

lol, look how arrogant and evil I used to be, on page 1. I've changed to much, for the better. Now I am just like all of you.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Hmm, if you claim you are a gamer, which I assume, and then claim that you don't want to play a few of the games on that list for a reason other than not having the money to buy them, or being really really cheap....well, why don't you explain why you wouldn't want a DS? Is it because of its...game library?

dont buy a ds now!!!! its too late...might as just wait till ds2 holiday 09 (total prediciton) :p

Wow. You're prediction was close, but kinda funny being that it was out of the blue.



"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Very happy with DS but I just added PS3 games.



This list actually makes me hate the DS. Too many adventure games and not enough classic Arcade action.

Also I hate Contra 4. Unbelievably boring. Metal Slug 7 deserves a place on this list if you're gonna mention Contra 4.



the DS is a power house for RPG's! it's the 2nd system for the most RPG's I own(first is my PS2...though now I play them on my PS3)

and with Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days coming out this month and Golden Sun DS and Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Sivler coming out next year, I'm just happy to own a DS/DSI
