Great reviews, thanks. Now I know what games to avoid and what games to buy. I agree about the Beastly game I didn't even have to buy and play it to know it would be a mistake to buy.

I also thought the DS was a very worthy Successor. I've had some great gaming moments on the machine. what makes it not worthy in your eyes.

I thought the DS was worthy successor to the GBA. the DS had a ton of great games mainly in the rpg side and the first party games. What made you think the DS wasn't worthy?

@Destructur25:

Most games on the wii don't need them.

The design for the stand looks "unbalanced" at best. It would have been great if DS had been scrapped, and Nintendo produced a worthy successor to the GBA. Nintendo is going periph-insane...it didn't work in the 90s, it's not going to work now. I mean, the circle pad add-on makes the 3DS look like the Sega Gamegear ate a Motorola Razr, and had a baby with an iPod touch.

I'm not thrilled about the plastic stand. It seems like just another goofy Nintendo add-on. I'd rather just pay with the 3DS on a flat surface, which was how I played through Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks.

That's some nice feat. Let's see how many I did... (most of them are older games)

Valkyria Chronicles
Bioshock
Borderlands
Dead Space 2
Dead Nation
inFamous
F1 2010 (I did start this one in 2010)
F1 2011
Tomb Raider: Underworld
Parasite Eve II (rebought and replayed)
Medievil

Well, that's not a whole lot (11). You put me to shame, Phil (don't even get me started on Reiner) :P
This year I think I'll do better (already on my 4th game) XD

It's really not that many peripherals. I mean, just compare it to the peripherals availible for Wii sports resort.

@backspacer:
I'm left-handed, and I don't really have a problem adjusting to most games. Kid Icarus seems like the only thing I'd have a problem with,it's basically a pen you're forced to hold in your right hand.

@Phil Kollar:

I was also dissapointed with the story with Elena. It was pretty important in 2, but then its sorta tossed aside in 3. Even though you learn about Drake and Sully's past, there isnt much character development.

On a side note, what are the chances that the bad guy will come back? He seemed almost supernatural at times, and the rule is "No body, no death"

@Phil Kollar:

I'm just joshing you. I think 8.75 was a fair score, maybe a bit low, but mostly I was messing with you.

@Phil Kollar:

I was thinking of games in general ;)

Isn't it awkward if you play for example a shooter with a setting for righties?

If I ever get a 3DS, the Circle Pad Pro will probably be my first big investment on it.
