Short DS rant
 

I've been playing this a fair bit lately because my brother can't open his Wii for 2 more days. A few notes on my experience with his games that I hadn't played before:

1) Can anyone get BrainAge to recognize the word "Blue?" I swear I've tried everything and it just doesn't work. Not even the Japanese pronunciation "Brue"

2) Splinter Cell is veeerrry jerky and sucks.

3) For some reason I was very sure that the DS would play GBC games, and was very disappointed when his old Pokemon games didn't work.

4) I need more games because I'm getting bored [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

1. Yes (and no japanese pronunciation).

How are you saying it? I've tried "bloo" "bah-loo" "bloooooo" and it doesn't pick up anything. Every other color is fine, just blue.

Too funny on the blooooo thing. Once I mom came to visit and was playing brain age on my gf's DS. Alls I remember is her sitting at the table for the longest time going: "Blooooo... bluuuueeee... blewwwwwww" [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Bloo, i think.

Have you looked into these monsters?

Mario Kart DS (obv choice, online multiplayer exponentially adds to the awesomeness)
Tetris DS (robust single player, first tetris AI to give me trouble, and ultra competitive online multi player)
New Super Mario Brothers Enough said.
Castlevania games.
Advanced Wars
Elite Beat Agents

OP, unless you have played the Castlevania games before, I wouldn't recommend it. I bought Portrait of Ruin last week based on the GameStop dude's suggestion, but having never played before, I don't really understand the game lineage and it seems to be rather tough to understand and solve. I've reached a point where I think I'm going to have to look up how to get past a certain part... its a rather complex game.

Then again, maybe I'm just a primitive gamer. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
