I've actually found Elite Beat Agents to be tremendously useful for when I need to decompress. The interactive music stuff always gets me to lose myself in it.

I found the minigames in Mario 64 great for passing time between work assignments, though I think I've since lost the cartridge.

Brain Age has been fun simply for the Ego Boost, since I never get anything worse than 23 for my score unless I'm taking it cold after about 4 weeks aside.

I'd say Elite Beat Agents is tops right now, but I haven't really had the funds to pursue purchases recently. I'm very limited on games for DS and Wii, but that's cause I'm saving up for a vacation to the Philippines, so after I get back, I may jump back into gaming.

Mario Kart DS and New Super Mario Bros. I have other games that I really like. Have yet to hate a DS game I own.

Mario Kart DS. I still keep returning to it every once in a while.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Nightmare Troubadour and Yu-Gi-Oh! Spirit Caller. Over 1000 hours; after that, Pokemon Diamond 200+ hours.

I've probably played EBA the most out of all my games, currently been enjoying picross for a reasonable amount of time.. and still am

I've spent oodles of time in Animal Crossing. Got it when it came out, played 3-4 solid months, picked it up again about 6 months ago and have hardly missed a day. I'm trying to get all the fish and bugs right now. The only ones that are in-seaon that I'm missing are the scorpion and grasshopper. After AC...it would probably be Advance Wars. Love that series.

Megaman ZX, rebirth of the Megaman franchise.

picross and a jap clone of it i cant remember the actual name of have soaked up alot of hours for me and since the only game i had for months was warioware, that recieved alot of play too.

Games like MKDS are sbsolutely timeless in multiplayer, so even tho i havnt clocked that many hours on it, im sure ill still be playing it in 2 years time.

Oundan is another favourite too, alnog with EBA to a lesser extent.
