I finally got my hands on a DS!

Whoo! I'm excited. :P

Well, to be fair, I just borrowed my mom's, but she never uses the bloody thing, save on plane trips... So as long as she has it then, I don't think she minds.

I also swung by Gamestop today and bought Advance Wars: Days of Ruin and Pokemon: SoulSilver, which were my second and third games for the system (I receved Kingdom Hearts: 385/2 days as a gift). Played Advance Wars tonight, and the series is still great fun. Black Hole Rising had me hooked for a really long time. It was a great time waster when traveling with friends. In fact, I'd still be playing Days of Ruin if my DS hadn't run out of batteries. So fun. :)

I'm looking to fill out my collection in the near future, but I don't know of any other high quality titles save Fire Emblem and the portable Legend of Zelda games (which, while I'm a big fan of the series on consoles, I don't know how much I'd like it as a handheld). So, I'm hoping some nice DS users will read this and help me out. Please? There'll be cake, if you do. I promise ;). I plan on checking Metacritic, 1up, IGN and Gamespot, as well.

I also checked out God of War 3 recently, and all I have to say is I'm glad I did. The game plays well, looks phenomenal, and the boss fights are, dare I say it, epic. I played mostly on Normal (I'm decent at Hack N' Slashes), but I had to kick it down to easy because that bloody Cerebus dog that vomis little exploding Rotweilers and his two satyr looking buddies were absolutely wiping the floor with me, and I only had a couple of hours before I had to head back to Orlando, and there's no way the PS3 is going up there with me. 1st, I don't have enough games for it yet for the move to be worthwhile, and I don't really trust the maintence staff at my apartment... Anyway, I plan on reviewing it soon, should I have the time. I'm swamped at school right now.

On another note, I beat Dragon Age again and am working on the expansion, which is very good. My dad got into the Mass Effect franchise, and he loves it. He liked Dragon Age, too, but he definitely likes Mass Effect better, mostly for presentation reasons (i.e. graphics, talking main character, design, etc). I think the fact that it's letting a retired Navy Captain command a ship again also helps.

Anyway, enough rambling. Time to charge my DS!

EDIT: Fixed the verbal diarrhea and made it more attractive. Good Lord, reading the earlier version made me think I should just drop out as an English major....
