Does anyone have any good suggestions for DS games for boys that are not entirely mind rot? I know my boy loves Mario and all, but when it is ALL he'll play, video game time is seriously limited. I'm wondering if there are any good puzzle games or word games that he might actually enjoy.
I think there is something to be said about the cartoony feel of Zelda - one reason why I preferred Windwaker to Twilight Princess. I would hate to see Zelda start mimicking God of War styles.Originally Posted by Mutatis-Mutandi

A powerful system and a large, epic game doesn't equal adult and gory.
I'm told that the Ace Attorney games are extremely good. If I understand correctly, gameplay is puzzle-oriented, but there's also a narrative attached, so it's not just busy-work.

Anybody having any RPG suggestions? GTA/SIMS style?
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
For what console/platform?

If you like GTA, Saints Row The Third (came out yesterday) might be right up your alley.
Thanks! Call it horrible, but I'm all about tricking my children into learning something. I've thought about seeing if I could find one based on Sherlock Holmes, but I haven't found anything like that.
Majora's Mask was not a favorite of mine. It has some brilliant moments but it was so tedious to play. And those temples were just excruciating, they took such a commitment of time to finish. I prefer having more temples that are a wee bit shorter.

feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
but weighty and unmovable

Im upgrading my pc for Skyrim and AC Revelations this Christmas
I'm currently playing through it and am loving it. You're right though, it requires a great deal of commitment. The second temple took me so long to get through. Playing as a Zora however makes the entire game worthwhile.
I have ordered Skyward Sword now, and I'm looking forward to it. I had decided not to play another Zelda game on the basis that in previous versions you had to do every dungeon in one go, and I simply cannot bookmark that much time for one block of relaxation. However, I have discovered that Skyward Sword has liberal savepoints, a long overdue gameplay mechanic.
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
We've not seen you in several days Mutatis
I've taken a two-day break from computers and gaming both. This is the first time I've been online since Friday, which was also the last time I played video games.
Oh, Look... it's Mutatis!!
uh huh, Sure
