Nintendo DS, I had much disappointment after the initial novelty of the touch screen wore off. I played a lot of games and finished very few. I couldn’t commit and you fought an uphill battle for my time against the iPod Touch and PSP. But over the past couple months you have gotten my attention, and I have sat up and taken notice. Luminous Arc… Zelda Phantom Hourglass… Advance Wars: Days of Ruin… Is this a temporary tease, or a sign of what’s to come? It may be as Assassin’s Creed is coming along next, and with a new story from the Xbox360 version. Getting a deeply satisfying gameplay experience from a handheld is something that has been elusive for me for a long time. An entertaining distraction was usually possible, but that was the extent of it. But it seems like the DS is getting all grown up now. Anybody that’s tried the DS in the past and lost interest should really give these new titles a try. We finally have the DS us hardcore gamers with our high standards have been waiting for.
