Games over 20 years old supposedly might be offered free. Not sure which those include but it's probably a few. I'll believe it when I see it. Offering free downloads for frequent buyers would be a nice though.

Kirby Canvas Curse looks like a real winner.

Great reviews so far with 9 out of 10s across the board from reviewers like IGN and 1up.

Can't wait to pick it up tomorrow.

Wow, that's great to hear. I'll have to pick that up down the road after I finish Warioware (original) and Warioware Twisted.

Well the good news is Kirby looks to be the highest rated American title yet, but the bad news is Rogue Agent is yet another mediocre title from EA. Not sure why EA is even bothering making DS games considering the effort put in so far. Nintendo should have just ported over Goldeneye from the N64 and been done with it. So far all the DS and PSP games I have seen from EA have screamed of bad console ports. Nice to see EA becoming the new Acclaim.

Rogue Agent gets a 6.5 from IGN and they found a lot of faults in it.

Has anyone played GoldenEye yet. I don't always trust professional reviews. They can be too picky. I like that this game uses the control scheme from the Metroid Demo.

Well, Kirby is officially my new favorite DS game. It seems that with every DS game I buy, they get better and better. I can't wait until the end of this year.

I finally got my DS tonight. Early father's day present. I got the free Mario and also picked up Kirby Canvas Curse and Polarium. I haven't opened the latter two yet, but was considering maybe returning Polarium for something else. My thought was that although I really enjoy puzzle games, they need to be really good to hold my attention over time. I don't doubt I'll enjoy it, but I'm wondering if there is something else I'd more for the time being.

Any suggestions?

Does anyone know if there are bootleg DS games out? I want to buy some cheap stuff off ebay and I do not want to get burned with a bootleg copy.

Polarium is decent, but if I were you I would exchange it next week when Bomberman comes out. Kirby is phenomenal by the way.

No, there's nothing like that out yet, although I'm sure someone's working on it.

Reviews for Meteos are also looking excellent. Looks like another 9 out of 10 title to go along with Kirby. Can't wait for this one to come out next week.

The reviews I'm wating on are for Splinter Cell. This has potential to be very, very good.

DS lineup is picking up speed quickly.

The latest issue of Nintendo Power gave Splinter Cell for the DS an 8 out of 10 rating.

Is Ridge Racer DS worth $10? If so, I'll look to pick it up when CC has their sale.

Meteos should be bundled with every DS. It's the most fun I've had with a puzzle game since Tetris Attack (someone please make an online DS version of that). I can't wait to give the multiplayer a whirl.

Its supposed to be superior to even Lumines in a pure gameplay aspect so I can't wait to pick it up today.

Meteos is superb! I just got it this morning and an hour flew by before I even pop my head up from the screen. Kudos to Mizuguchi! This game, Lumines and Rez are simply flawless!
