Plot Twist- I love the Nintendo DS and PokeMon

What has everyone been playing this week? You would think with Geometry Wars 2 just released and Halo 3 claiming the top spot on Live again after being out nearly a year now, I'd want to spend some time on my 360. Not so. Well, not as much anyway...

I've been playing what was my sisters Nintendo DS almost compulsively in my spare time as I fight through New Super Mario Bro's, Geometry Wars Galaxies and PokeMon Diamond. Yes, PokeMon Diamond. Am I a loser for playing a portable system more than our beloved Xbox 360? Probably, but playing Nintendogs with my girlfriend rivals just about any gaming experience out there.

I know there was a semi-recent diary about this, but we'll rehash this anways~Fellow DS owners, what are the games I HAVE to get?

still hooked on Tetris DS. Mario Kart is also a blast. Like Robbins posted the Brain Age games are also fun, and Trauma Center. I haven't tried the second Trauma Center yet.

Wife had traded in some old games and got me Grid for the DS. To my surprise it's actually a really fun game. It has Wi-Fi also but haven't tried it yet. The graphics are pretty good for a DS game.

have to say The Legend of Zelda! I don't have it, but i've played Boxing's and it is so fun. I haven't spent to much time on mine, but when Chrono Trigger comes out I know I'll be taking a break from the 360.
I don't know if you've ever played Mega Man games, but i used to love them, and Mega Man ZX is another good one. The gameplay is completely different from the Mega Man X series, but it's very similar to Mega Man Zero on GBA.

Chopped lunch baby! NUM NUM NUM
