This is what I'm currently playing:

Clubhouse Games - I can spend hours on end just on Spit alone. I had 3 people at work who played this (with real cards) and we had hours on end of fun, then they all left No one else plays this game at work anymore, and this is my most favorite card game ever. I was shocked to find it here. I've only played darts, 5-dominoes, and this one, and the cart is worth its price just for this game alone. I'll get to the other games one of these days

Picross - hours of fun. Still have tons of levels to go. It'd be great if you could download additional levels.

Puzzle Quest - hours and hours on this game so far.

Touchmaster - I stay mostly on the card games. Have spent hours and hours so far just on Three Peak Deluxe. Play Pairs sometimes but either I'm doing something wrong or that game is all luck and no skill.

Vegas Casino! High 5 - haven't really played it much because I've been playing those other games, but what I've played I've liked. This is the first time I've really gotten into a portable casino game. So I live in Vegas and when I take a visitor to the casino I bring my DS and park myself on a chair and play virtual slots while they play real slots (I hate real gambling, because I tend to lose more than I win).

For Clubhouse Games it was the game Nap. I had never played it before but damn that is an ingenious game.

I will second Puzzle Quest and Picross. I just wish i wasn't stuck on a puzzle on Picross.

Touchmaster i couldn't really get into.

There is also a dart game that i found to be pretty fun.

I didn't start getting stuck until level 8 in free mode, but it did happen. I ended up having to draw the grid and fill it in on paper to work out my mistakes.

Damn, i'm still on level 2. I am at a puzzle where i could make a guess and progress but it bugs me to make any mistakes since i know the whole thing is logic.

I can get through all the easy ones. I'm on letter E of the Level 1 of the Normal ones. I like to conquer each one without mistakes before moving on. If I make a mistake I quit and start over.

Hey,

The Japanese trailer of "Phoenix Wright 4" can be seen here (not sure what they'll call it in America if Phoenix isnt the main character). Looks like Ema Skye is in it though.

Another trailer for Trials and Tribulations:

Another Phoenix Wright 4 Trailer (different from the first one, in English but uses the Japanese names):

The music is really good

Trauma Center made me want to stab the patient to death. Some of the recognition on the strokes just infuriated me.

The actual name of the series is Ace Attorney and that won't change.

BTW, watched the video of the Harvey Birdman game and that is a must buy for me. Wish it was coming to Wii, but I will get it on PS2.

The new game (I believe) is going to be called Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney.

This game can be hard as hell!

Spoiler:
I'm been stuck on the level where you have to remove the "virus" out of 5 people in 10 minutes. Makes me want to kill someone!

Thanks
Not sure how I feel about a new character, though I might be sick of Phoenix by the end of the third one, and there might be a reason in the game story why he is not the main character I guess

I'm still on PW2 right now.

You don't have to finish all five. Just do two, then get to a point where patient 3 is stable, and then let time run out.

My wife has been playing Clubhouse Games every night since we bought her DS. I used to LOVE playing 'spit' but I knew it as BULL$H1T. We even played it with a weird combo of 3 or 4 partial decks a couple of times.. people were like... 9 Aces....now that was crazy.

Will you be able to keep up with the narrative?

I'm really enjoying Picross, but I found the grid squares too small to use the stylus, even on 10x10 puzzles. I accidentally clicked the wrong square on several occasions, so I just switched over to button controls. I find it much easier that way.

Also, I tried to download the Classic puzzles last night, and I could connect to the Wi-Fi server, but there were no puzzles there. Anyone know when they'll be showing up?

Super Dodgeball is coming! Supports 8 players, hopefully WiFi.

Whoa. Super Dodgeball. Awesome!

Hard to tell from that pic, but it doesn't look at that impressive.

Now I'm on the final PW2 case - early on it seemed a bit like
Spoiler:
as if it was "The Steel Samurai Case: Redux" but then - OBJECTION! Maya is kidnapped


The end of case 3 is both and at the same time
Spoiler:
Acro wanted to hurt Regina, not the Ringmaster as he blames her for what happened to his brother. But Regina did not want to hurt, much less kill, Bat. It was an accident and her joke went very wrong. None of the circus performers are bad


Are there any other DS Graphiic adventures similar to Phoenix Wright? Eg Hotel Dusk? I heard the script isnt very good though, maybe bad translation.

I liked Hotel Dusk and thought the story of it was great. I would recommend it. The gameplay is more traditional point and click than the court sections of Phoenix Wright.
