Hello Everyone,

I am thinking about buying a ds and was wondering if this is made for adults? If so, what games are for the adults? Any help would be appreciated.

The system is made for mature children, small adults, large children, child-like adults, children who wish they were adult enough to afford one, adults who are kids that never grew up, adults who like children (and are often shown being arrested on MSNBC), and of course let's not forget the just plain childish...

... that would be me. I have one too.

Well, its not like all the good games are 'kid' games. If you want a horror game, go with Dementium. For awesome strategy (which tends to require more thinking.....) go with the Advance Wars series. I'm 14 and I love Phantom Hourglass, Mario Kart, and Pokemon.

I've been looking at getting a DS also. I leave for Iraq this weekend and it's gonna be over a 30 hour trip, so I'm looking for a way to pass the time. Can anyone recommend some good games so I don't end up buying garbage? I'm into pretty much every genre, and loved the Advance Wars games on Advance.

There are plenty of adultish games. Most of them are puzzle games however, like clubhouse games, picross ds, crossword ds, sodoku games, polarium, neves.

There are also great games that may seem "childish", but are still excellent games. Like all the mario and yoshi games. Advance wars are also great games. Zelda is great.

There are also some more mature games, like dementium, and the castlevania games.

I personally see gaming as something that can really be enjoyed by all ages. If you find it fun, don't let something as silly as social labels stop you from enjoying yourself!!

The DS lite is absolutely a system for all ages, including adults. The game depends on what types you like to play. There are many games with an adult feel.

Iraq. RESPECT, man.

How about "Call of Duty 4" :D

If you like the Advance Wars series there are two excellent entries made for the DS, and then there's also "WarHammer 40K: Squad Command", which has a lot of the same mechanics as AW but I like it a little better... destructible environments and a more "serious" tone. You might read a lame review of it online, but take it from another AW fan, it's a lot of fun and it has a ton of playtime in it, with vast amounts of squad load-out customization. EXCELLENT game.

Good luck over there... I know you're going there to do the job you were trained for and now asked to perform, but I say this with all sincerity and respect:

COME HOME SOON.

See you Around The Playground!

Hi there, depending on the games you get, it can be used for adults to answer your query. There's many games young and old adults can try. Yoga, brain training games, crossword games, the list is pretty long. I believe if you get the right games the nintendo DS can be for absolutely everyone. Hope this helps you in deciding. My parents play Mario Kart and Big Brain Academy to vouch this.

Good luck choosing.

Thanks for the well wishes man, seriously you have no idea what it means to hear that from people. It's my second trip there, sounds a little odd but I'm actually really looking forward to it. Thanks for the game suggestions as well, I'll have to check that out!

BTW, they made Call of Duty 4 for the DS, for real? It just seems funny, COD4 graphically like blew my mind, it's kinda funny to picture it on DS. Is it actually any good?
