Well with the new little baby in the house I have had hardly any time to spend with the older bigger kids (Bioshock, ET:QW, Zelda:WW, Metroid Prime).

I trained my brain daily and had a bash ot the odd sudoku from Dr. Kawashoma last week. It wasn;t particularly invigorating butfun and intuitive. It's something that is easily accessible enough to have the casual go on during a commute which is ideal for me.

Elite Beat Agents was a must buy according to many reviewers and thus was my first purchase with my DS. I wish the shop had had Metroid Prime Hunters or maybe Phoenix Wright in stock but hey I went with EBA and... I am actually quite disappointed. The songs are mostly rubbish - there are less than 15 of them (to my count). The gameplay is repetitive - there are three little things to do and that's it. The stories are your generic manga-esque fare. So for now still a bad buy from my perspective. It'll get a few more runs and hopefully become more addictive. Then it's the swap store for you - and I never trade in my games because I grow to love them. We'll see.

And then we have Zelda - probably the determining factor in me buying a DS and wow really excellent. A top notch game so far (still in progress) and highly recommended. A full report comming soon but most definitely Phantom Hourglass is a winner. I look forward to the comming weeks :)
