The DS has renewed my faith in gaming.

I got to admit, I've been in limbo with gaming for awhile now.
My PS2 and GC got old, and the newer home consoles haven't given me enough reasons to go out and buy them yet. I do own a Wii, but games-wise it's been collecting dust for awhile.
Then I got a DS for my birthday.
I'd been dropping hints for a long time, but I had no idea what I was in for. And I'm just so excited I had to come here and share my love for this little system with everyone.

Gaming has always been a little more than a hobby to me, it's pretty much a passion. School and family always come first, but gaming is next on the list. The DS has only solidified gamings place in my life.

This system has got what I've been deprived of for years: quality turn-based strategy and RPG games. I've always hoped for more modern twists on the genres I love, but the home consoles left me high and dry. The games I've been playing on the DS are EXACTLY what I've been looking for. FF Tactics A2, the FF3 & 4 remixes, Rune Factory, Luminous Arc,...it's just too much, I swear my head is going to explode. And with the Dragon Quest games coming, I'm in heaven.

The DS is my savior of gaming. Anyone else feel the same way?

When it first came out, I was expecting another gameboy, but its way better than I ever expected ( I bought it at first just for pokemon, but that was 3 years ago).

it's pretty weird you said that...because well i got a similiar situation. My wii recently broke (stopped reading the disks altogether and cant connect to the internet), but i was already getting fed up with it, the hope of a star fox game in the near future was really the only thing that stopped me from giving up on it completely and getting a ps3/xbox360. I always gamed on my pc a little so it was a good fall back, but my pc was getting slow and couldnt run many games. In a fortunate winfall, i managed to gain $70ish dollars and upgraded mmy computer memory.

With the coming of spore and diablo 3, i decided to give up console gaming (for this generation at least) and game and my PC, but i also had the idea in my head to replace my old DS phat, which the top screen hinge had broke off, and get a lite for xmas. Instead my brother got one for his birthday and picked up FFIV which i didnt think id like that much. Turns out i fell in love with the game and am about halfway into it like a week later and my brothers still on the first dungeon :P

now with the coming of kirby superstar ultra, i really feel no need to buy anything for my consoles, because i even wanna pick up yoshi's island ds and LoZ:phantom hour glass. The ds really is an amazing little machine, armed with as many great games as the snes or the ps2 in its prime. It also restored my faith in (non PC :P ) gaming

no i wouldnt say that there are some great platformers and action games on the ps3 and xbox

just not that many rpgs

oh yeah me too.

i got an gba, xbox and PS2 until xbox360 came out and stopped xbox game production i stopped play the xbox (i still hate microsoft for that.)

the most recent game on the PS2 i played was the god of war.

not until recently i got a wii last christmas when i started playing it for a couple of weeks before i stopped playing it at all.

since then until 6 months later.. i got a ds for my birthday. which of course took me by surprise.

until now, i have been stucked on my ds till now as it is just oh-so-perfect.

the graphic may not be as good as the psp however, in terms of gameplay, it certain beat the psp few hundred times. (did i forgot to mention i had a psp for a while till i dropped it 6 storeys down.)

I JUST LOVE THE DS!!

Is your employer hiring, MetalHead? :PCenterOpposite

Conjuration

You basically really like RPGs. DS is probably the best choice for that nowadays

I do play my DS a lot but I also play my PC just as much.

Both are my renewal in gaming.

It didn't renew my faith in it but it made me love gaming more than I already did

It truly is a brilliant portable console
