Ok, i recently picked up Trauma Center: Under the Knife, and Castlevania, Dawn of Sorrows. I havn't gotten very far in either of them yet, but they're fucking awesome! If you have a DS, buy these games! Trauma Center takes a huge approach with the Stylus and it's a lot of fun performing surgery on people >:D very intense, and trying to make all the right decisions, whew.

Castlevania? What can i say? if you liked Aria of Sorrow, you'll love this. The stories more in depth. They don't use the stylus too much, but it's fun with what it does use

Not to mention, having a map on screen the whole time, orgasmically convenient.

I thought Trauma Center looked fun, we need more unique games like this.



Reminds me of this old game that no one will remember, Microsurgeon for Intellivision.

HAH! Leave it to Dive to bring up a total blast from the past. I remember Micro Surgeon! Man... I really loved the Intellivision. It's too bad that the Intellivision Anthology release was basically unplayable. :(

back on topic - I am glad to hear that people are enjoying the games for the DS. When Animal Crossing: Wild World comes out in December, that's when I am picking up a DS for myself. Call me stupid, Sainty, but that's how much I love Animal Crossing.
Dive, I didn't know you owned a DS! Our dreams of an Apocalypse village on AC are beginning to take shape!!
Ok.. maybe it's just my dream.

personally i own both the DS and the PSP. The PSP destroys the DS graphically, but thats about it. The games havn't been that impressive. Not to mention, the DS is new and innovative with a lot of possibilites, more gaming companies have taken interest lately, cheaper, compact (i love how it closes and acts as a screen protector.) and it goes backwards with GBA games. (ok, not a huge deal, but since they're still being released it's a nice feature.) Did i mention this christmas season the DS lineup looks pretty damn good? If you like goofy games like trauma center, another one to look at is Pheonix Wright, Ace Attorney. Another anime style game which deals with a lawyer. (as if you didn't know)

EDIT: This is in no way pushing anything on anyone, because i like both companies equally, just my opinion on the matter.
