So im sitting here in the middle of the night just waiting to get back to Bodø for the last time ever. With me I will be bringing my more and more trusty DS with brand new games and all. My latest additions to the DS game collection are Electroplankton and Pac Pix. I was extremly impressed with Electroplankton as it really blew my mind on what a game can be. As for Pac Pix I was very pleased with the games design and fresh approach to an old genre, it gets frantic very fast and thats when the ugliest Pac man to ever gobble the earth get drawn from my shaking hands.

Seeing the DS future lineup, the current sales numbers, the sucess of Nintendogs on the female market, I can`t help to think that this is the year of the DS and that the future for the console is a very bright one. The lineup from Nintendo is actually nicely mathced with third party titles to and that is a very good sign. The title im perhaps looking most forward to getting my hands on is Mario Kart DS. I was really excited when I first saw it announced, add online play and lots of retro karting on old tracks and im gitty as a school girl for this possibly first good racing title for the DS.

Importing has been a great sucess for me and now I`m considering Band Brothers wich I`m hearing good things about. So this year I`m probably getting somewhere between 7-10 DS games. Penny Arcade was right when they said that DS owners went from a good games drought to a good games overload, not really a problem for me though :)
