Top 10 games for the DS, Ever.

Lists are great aren’t they? Ok, now everyone’s taste is different, so below you will find my very own personal list of the best DS games ever. Obviously this list will be outdated at some point, but so far there are thousands of games to choose from, and I think most people will agree that I have listed some great ones here.

1. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Why its so good: Well the single player game is wicked to say the least but multilayer rocks! The only downside is that people cheat and turn their DS off when they lose, thus depriving you of your well earned points! Read the full review here.

2. Mario Kart
Why its so good: Fast frantic game play and brilliant multilayer will keep you playing for hours.

3. New Super Mario Bros.
Why its so good: In a word, Mario. A great take on the old school Mario games adding a pseudo-3d visual style and great game play. Unlocking all of the levels can be pretty taxing!

4 Worms: Open Warfare 2
Why its so good: Multi-player games are brilliant and there’s a load of depth and variety of gameplay. Read the full review here.

5 Big Brain Academy.
Why its so good: The is a very personal; choice but I could never get into the other brain games, they seem like they are trying too hard, when I personally doubt how much brain improvement can be done with a game. This is a fun way to tone you thinking muscles!

6 Mario 64 DS
Why its so good: when Mario 64 game out many years ago on the infamous Nintendo 64 people knew what a great game this is. The tweak version is great fun on the DS although the controls take a while to get used to.

7 Yoshi’s Island 2
Why its so good: I love Mario style platformers and this game is pretty close to the sort of thing I’m after. I got bored halfway though so its not as great as some of the games listed above.

8 Contra 4 DS
Why its so good: It brings me back to the years when computer games were the most important thing in my life. Sadly I was a lot better at games back then and this game is too hard for me now! Boo hoo! Anyway you can download the rom here

9 Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Why its so good: A lot of people think this is the best game on the DS, I personally think its a pretty good tactical game, not the best game o9ut there though.

10 Mario Party DS
Why its so good: Lots of fun with loads and loads of mini games. Its much better to play with real people and with no wifi mode, this lowers my score.

Well there you go, that’s my list. Have I missed any? Mortal Kombat just missed 10th place, whats your top 10?
