I am going to be getting a DS soon, and I need advice on what games are good and what games are shit. I'm getting the Red & Black DS.

I have my eye on the Castlevania games for DS, but dont know about their quality. I'm into RPG's, Stategy games, Shooters(though I don't know how well that would work with no Thumb-Sticks), as well as nifty and abstract games. I'm open to any other genres, too.

Also, is Guitar Hero: On Tour any good? It looks like crap to me. And is Assasins Creed for DS any good either?

Any opinions y'all have will be concidered and appreciated. Thanks.

My suggestions would have to be, for a strategy, Worms: Open Warfare 2 (Not one.) Especially if you have wi-fi. If you like story game puzzlers, you can't go wrong with the Phoneix Wright (And Apollo Justice), Ace Attorney Series. They have a nice demo up for free, completely legal, here. [url=http://ace-attorney.com/aj/] If you like a sense of story, and a little action like gameplay, try Trauma Center: Under the Knife.

Assasin's Creed is very good. I would think for shooting try Call of Duty 4 or Metroid Prime Hunters. I've played one Castlevania game and it was really good.

I'm not gonna lie, I've had a Nintendo DS for about 6 months and probably 4 of those 6 months, my DS has been sitting on my desk waiting for a good game to come out. Although when I first got it, The phantom hourglass was fun...for about a week and then I beat it and that was it. I may be a little picky when it comes to games but I haven't seen anything that I would really want to play for a while on the DS.
Oh and Guitar Hero: On Tour (or whatever it's called, the one for the DS) is really not that good at all.

Ok, so I got the DS. I traded in my old GBA SP and got $40 off. The games I got were Castlevaina: Dawn of Sorrow(amazing game), and Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings(also really good). I'm hoping to get Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin soon, and I'll likley be getting the new Final Fantasy coming out on the 23rd.

I'd suggest a classic like super mario 64, and pokemon diamond/ pearl. Also, the world ends with you is said to be a great action/ rpg
