Some people who enjoy sports games actually do play sports as well. My brother and his group of friends love sports. Playing basketball, football, baseball, bowling, golf...if it's a sport either my brother or one of his friends plays AND they play only sports games. Trust me, I don't get it myself. Madden 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012....NB2K to infinity. Each sports game comes out each year and they're out at midnight purchasing it. There are weekly tournaments and lots ot trash talking, so I get the community aspect of it, but what's the difference between one year and the next? I often tease my brother, making him detail those differences and often it has to do with the improved realism of the grass or some other such thing.sports games, I really have trouble figuring out why people dont just go outside and play sports instead of playing it on a console...
Sports strikes me as the only genre of games that is possible in real life.

He's tried other genres and he beats the game, then sells them. So I guess he just likes sports genre above all others (besides Rock Band/Guitar Hero/DJ Hero
I'm pretty limited in my genres but I absolutely can't stand fantasy. Too bad most RPG's are fantasy based.
There's a 360 and a Wii in the household, but my main system is the DS. One reason, because I'm a working mother who has a million things to do in a day. As it stands there's a load of laundry piling up that's being neglected because of CSI Deadly Intent.
The other reason is very, very sad. I've been a gamer since the Atari 2600, but somehow as the graphics have gotten better (understatement) I've developed a bad case of simulator sickness (or video game sickness, I'm geek enough to have done the research). So I can deal with puzzle/adventure games and anything on a smaller screen helps.
I'm not above taking something to play on the Xbox or Wii but then I have to take time out of my schedule to do all of this and with the DS I can take it with me, or pick it up on the fly whenever I want a gaming fix.
Anyway, you aren't mad. That's why there are so many choices to fit each gamers' needs.
...but you're going to purchase games based on the ones that make the DS great for me? I'm pretty new to posting,that's different from recommending a game? I don't think I'd recommend something that's not a must have but I guess there are some who would? Well, I'm confusing myself now so here's my must have list.
Hotel Dusk
Meteos
Rhythm Heaven
Professor Layton
Touchmaster
Elite Beat Agents
Animal Crossing Wild World
Nintendogs
Big Brain Academy
Brain Age
...you can see what kind of gamer I am. :)
There are three in the household. My daughter has a blue DSi and a pink Lite. I have a silver Lite.
Are there any advantages of multiple systems? None that I can see, except the other day my Lite ran out of juice and I was able to pick up my daughter's extra one and keep playing.
Originally she had a white Lite, which I used for awhileit was her first system and she wasn't as careful with it, took off the screen protector, used a pen cap as a stylus. It was scratched to heck and when she wanted a DSi, I made her trade it with some awful games at Gamestop. It was actually a great deal because I only ended up paying about $20 for her DSi.
But now I want a DSi for the downloadable games and I'm thinking I don't want to give up any of the Lites now. I'm eventually going to get a DSi for her and get the hand me down blue one.
[QUOTE="ACL0V3R"]i make it sound like it was terrible because i think it was terrible. i mean, i respect their effort to bring a completely new idea, but make sure it works before releasing. I think this is why we're getting the sequel so quickly. They should have waited and worked out all of these major gameplay issues before they released it in the first place, but did so hoping the innovation (and hype), would carry it through. That being said, I still enjoy it (more than I should probably) but with S2 they'd better get it right this time!I don't know why everyone ITT makes it sound like it was a terrible game...I thought it was good...
