I recently bought a DS and love it! I've got WarioWare Touched (completed it),
Tiger Woods PGA Tour, demo of Metroid Prime (not my sort of game), The Urbz Sims in the City (completed it and really enjoyed it) and Super Mario 64 (finding it difficult).

This is the 1st handheld that I've played for more than 5 minutes so would like a couple of more games that I stand a chance of completing! So what would the gaming experts recommend my next purchases should be?

Thanks (from a rather rubbish gaming newbie!)

If you enjoyed WarioWare you should also enjoy Project Rub...

would a girl enjoy project rub? looks a bit like a game where you try and chat up women to me.

well Sam is a chick, she may not want to play a game that involves stroking ladybits. or blowing on ladys.

Or she may.

if your not looking to import (a lot of the good games aren't out in the uk yet) then the puzzle games mr driller and zoo keeper are really good and polarium is good but a bit more difficult, although you can't really complete a puzzle game so your better off trying them first to see if you like them.

Right 1st time CJ :thumbs:

Thanks for the suggestions so far :)

I assume that if I import then the games will play on a standard DS?

Also are there any other games along the lines of the Sims? I enjoyed Final Fantasy of the Playstation and I'm better at that sort of game than the fighting, blowing things up type game!

There is The sims bustin out and sim city 2000 for the GBA, both of these would work.

I also loved Broken sword on my gba, a storytype game, point and click, great storyline.

Yes. All DS consoles are fully "multi-region" so importing is perfectly safe (and often very cheap!)
I recommend the likes of Play-Asia and DVDcrave but there are loads of reliable sites to import from...queue the recommendations ;)

You'll be happy to know Sims 2 is coming to DS as a 3d version where you manage a hotel and have to keep guests happy etc.

Can't find your sale thread, but depending on the price I'd be interested :)

Project Rub isn't really male orientated at all. Both my girlfriend and another female friend enjoy it, though like me, would agree that it is a poor attempt to replicate the fun of Warioware.

Was looking for another DS game to tide me over until the likes of Metroid, Rogue Agent and the like come out so have gone for Zoo Keeper for a bargainous price of £15.22 (member's card price) from DVD Soon.
