If you like puzzle games and love to challenge others intellectually, you might want to check out Suujin Taisen, a Nintendo's new puzzle game.
This is not a very flashy fancy title, but belongs to any list of great puzzle game. This game is based on very simple rules, yet manages to be one of the most addictive, deep, and exciting puzzle games I've ever played.
Game outcome is not entirely determined by logic. It also involves luck. So sometimes, newbies can beat expert players, making gameplay quite thrilling. Game items are designed very effectively, so they make gameplay more dynamic. Each session won't take too long, so you can play it even if you don't have much time (lunch time, commute, etc).
It has a wi-fi mode and you can compete with other people, which is simply tons of fun and keeps its replayability quite high. Through its online play, you'll discover numerous tricks expert players use. You can do 1 vs 1, or 2 vs 2 to do co-op. Matchmaking is based on your rank so you won't get hugely frustrated even if you're a newbie.
Not sure when it'll be released in the US but you might want to definitely try when it gets here: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/afhj/index.html
