25. Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure
This game is just wonderfully weird, it also cleverly combines two genres I love: puzzles and platformers. You play as Henry Hatsworth, a comically British explorer hunting for the mythical 'Gentleman's Suit' and explore side-scrolling levels on the upper screen of the DS, but enemies that you above become puzzle blocks on the bottom screen. Once your puzzle meter is full you have to swap screens, erasing blocks to destroy enemies before they can return to haunt you and gaining power-ups to assist in your platforming, It's sounds complicated, but in practice it flows smoothly and is one of the most fun and unique uses of the DS's dual screens.

I never heard of that game before, but it seems like a unique and interesting idea. I wish game devs were more often in experimental mood.
