i just got Spyro dawn of the dragons, and kirby super star ultra. both really good games. but if you dont keep up with the spyro games your totally lost.the last spyro game i played is one of the first spyro games on PS1 (which i won.) and the only thing i remember is spark, spyro's helper.
by the way Kirby is more for younger kids. its fun, but not for adults really. but its a cool game,i haven't been too much into kirby because iv always had sonygame systems.
another game that i totally suggest would be spore for computer, spore for DS might seem like a good game but I would think if you have spore on computer spore for DS might be a little to much sporing.
