Games:Owned and Loved (16 titles)

Some of these have been loved for considerably longer than others and some have been a (possibly) misguided fancy but all have graced my collection at some point and deserve a mention here! Enjoy...

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

This was the very first game I got with my DS and it is BRILLIANT! Very cute little adventure and the start of my worsening addiction to my DS!

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass on DS (2007)
Certificate:
Link is back in tiny, touchy feely style. Well, mostly touchy. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass picks up months after where The Wind Waker left off.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Was endlessly raved about but I'll admit, I was disappointed...as not a big fan of first person fighting games, I find this too hard to be fun - I just end up tensed on my sofa and stressed! Still, could just be me...I keep on trying to love it...

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on PS3
Certificate:
The goal here was to create a game that offered unlimited possibilities. A game where you could be whoever you wanted and do whatever you wanted. "Live another life, in another world" was the Oblivion team's motto; this is exactly what they have created. If you love games that allow you to explore, ..read more »

Final Fantasy III

As an ADDICT of Final Fantasy VII and VIII and IX on Playstion (the original one...) I was looking forward to playing a traditional one on the DS. Even a die hard fan like myself couldn't bring myself to love this one...cute story but too monotonous to get anywhere too far..

Final Fantasy III on DS (2007)
Certificate:
The Gulgan thus prophesied: This earthquake is only the beginning. The great tremors that swallowed the crystals, the light of our world, only to spawn monsters from the depths of the scarred land, are nothing but harbingers of what is yet to come. Something is coming.....read more »

New Super Mario Bros.

A brilliant throwback to the N64 of my youth (which, to my immense disappointment, I could only play at friends' houses as I didn't have my own..) but ultimately limited entertainment unless you LIKE endlessly jumping through identical levels..

New Super Mario Bros. on DS (2006)
Certificate:

Trauma Center: Under the Knife

Very good if you don't mind a challenge..and a bit of operation-y mild images!

Trauma Center: Under the Knife on DS (2006)
Certificate:
It's time for virtual surgeons and DS owners to scrub up and get down the theatre for some serious operating, as the Trauma Center cartridge is carefully removed from its case. One of the more novel concepts for the DS (and a game that could really only feature on Nintendo's handheld) Trauma Center ..read more »

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates

A very different vein of the FF franchise (with propert film sequences and voices and everything..) and nowhere near as long but still a nice game.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring o... on DS (2008)
Certificate:
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates has felt for some like it's been a lo-o-o-o-o-ng time coming. In fact, it was announced all the way back at E3 in 2004 and has taken until March 2008 to hit UK shores. The game is the second in the series, following up 2004's Final Fantasy: Crystal ..read more »
