Often called Nintendo's "World of Warcraft," Animal Crossing: Wild World is a content-heavy experience of trade, barter, creation, and of course, talking animals. Not only can players exchanges items and visit each other's villages at will, but you can get animals to move into your town, have your house remodeled, and collect rare artifacts. At the very least, you'll probably want to get Tom Nook off your back and pay that loan.

* Nintendogs
One of the first smash hits for the DS, Nintendogs is an intricate pet-care simulator that mimics several things necessary for loving the canine companion of your choice. Using the DS's unique controls, you can pet your dog and play games with the touch-screen, as well as using the built-in microphone to call your pet's name. Along with training your dog to learn various tricks and commands, it's your job to keep the digital pooch happy, groomed, and lovable.

* Sonic Colors
Sonic's handheld adventures have always retained the classic gameplay feel of the Genesis days, and Sonic Colors is just as fun as previous gem Sonic Rush. With this new entry, the Blue Blur mush race through an interstellar theme park to save the Wisps, a benign alien race, from Dr. Eggman's clutches. Each Wisp gives Sonic a special ability that can be used with the touch-screen and DS stylus, making each twist of a level more about skill than just raw speed.

* Space Invaders Extreme 2
Space Invaders Extreme 2 builds on the previous title with even more bullet hell gameplay than before. Along with new music, new enemy types, and a revamped "Fever" system, the "Bingo" system tests shooting skill and luck to see how high your score can really go. Along with the extensive pack of single-player levels to tackle this time around, there's also tweaked multi-player missions on hand, too.

* Super Scribblenauts
By adding extra adjectives to the vast library of in-game nouns, Super Scribblenauts expands the first game's vocabulary even further than before, even though the change may seem small in retrospect. With this new expansion, a "zombie" can now become a "fat, flaming zombie" with just an extra handful of letters. Whether this helps you nab the elusive Starites throughout the sizable pile of puzzling levels just depends on how well you choose your words.

* Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
While other Advance Wars games have been quirky takes on turn-based international combat, Days of Ruin raises the narrative bar with a gritty, emotional storyline. After an apocalyptic meter shower, you take the role of a young cadet named Will as he tries to survive the onslaught of military superpowers preying on the remaining 10 percent of the world's population. With new unit types, different types of terrain, and various unlockables, Days of Ruin is one of the most expansive Advance Wars titles yet.

* Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
Castlevania hasn't had a solo female protagonist since the often-forgotten "Legends" title on the Game Boy, but Shanoa fills in for the absent Belmont Clan quite nicely. Rather than wielding the traditional whip, Shanoa's power comes from the use of Glyphs, taking an enemy's magic and making it her own. Finishing the polished and difficult main adventure isn't all that Order of Ecclesia has to offer either, as the game also offers a versus mode, Boss Rush, and even extra single-player missions.
Ahh so Hard any way

* Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
Chinatown Wars is one of the few games that you'll find on the Nintendo DS with an "M" rating from the ESRB. As you roll with protagonist Huang Lee, you'll hotwire cars, scratch lottery tickets, hack security terminals, assemble sniper rifles from parts, and deal drugs, with each of the various mini-games specifically geared towards a believable gang activity. From the game's early scenes to the end-game showdown, it's all in the name of climbing to the top of the food chain within the Triad and being one of the street's deadliest icons.
