Final Fantasy III

This is a very good game. Kinda of like Final Fantasy Tactics for the gameboy advanced in that you must choose a profession.

Advanced Wars

This is an excellent game. I loved it’s predecessors and I love this one even more. The touch screen changes the gaming experience quite a bit. There are new units, new skills and new commanders. The graphics and animation is the same as the previous games and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

You can connect via wifi and challenge friends and family who also have the game.

Elite Beat Agents

This game is a lot of fun. Using the touch screen, you tap, slide and spin objects on the screen in time with the music. The music is ok, the animations are funny. If you are concerned about not being able to see the animations while you’re tapping, sliding and spinning, have no fear, because after you finish a stage there is a replay button that lets you sit back and watch the whole stage with all your taps, slides and spins. You can also save the replays to play at a later time.

Animal Crossing

I think Animal Crossing was developed for people who just had nothing to do for about 15 to 30 minutes. There is no real point to this game other than to waste time. You go around this little town collecting, buying and selling things, aswell as writing letters or having conversations with NPC’s. You can fish, dig up fossils, catch butterfly’s, buy furniture, design clothes and plant flowers. Any fish you catch or fossils you dig up or butterfly’s you catch you can donate to the museum where, whatever you donate, is displayed. Fish are kept in an aquarium, fossils are put together on a display stand eventually building into a dinosaur and butterfly’s … well I haven’t caught a butterfly yet so I don’t really know what they do with them.

You can also connect via wifi to friends who also have this game ans swop any spare fossils or butterflies or fish that you have. You can even visit your friends town and waste time there.

Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training

This is a cool game. It has a bunch of different exercises for you to do everyday. From sudoku to simple math. One of the exercises uses the voice recognition technology which is really cool.

Most of the exercises are done in a different way, for instance, one of the exercises involves a house. For about 2 or 3 minutes people will walk in and out of the house and you need to add and subtract from the number of people already inside the house. When the exercise ends you need to write down the number of people still left in the house. The more you do this the faster the people move in and out of the house as well as moving in and out at the same time.

Another one involves the voice recognition technology. A word of a color is displayed on the screen eg. red, blue, yellow. But the word is sometimes displayed in a different color and you need to say what the word reads and not what color the word is written in.
