Thanks to the generosity of people bidding really high on some items I put up on Ebay, I have enough extra to get a DS game. I can only get one, and I have narrowed it down to three. Listed are the games and the reasons why I think I might like them.
Age of Empires: Age of Kings: I really enjoyed Age of Empire I and II on the PC. However, my preference has always been for turn based strategy games. Therefor, a RTS I enjoyed adapted to a turn based game seems like a home run. However, the lack of wi-fi is sad, since I do not know anyone else with a DS so I will only be able to play the computer.
Battles of Prince of Persia: As I already established, I like turn based strategy games. Culdcept for the PS2 is easily one of my favorite games of all time. I love the idea of playing a game with a customizable deck. A battle strategy game that adds a card component and is portable sounds to good to be true. However, I know this game has gotten some bad reviews that describe the gameplay as broken (it has also received decent reviews).
Metroid Prime Hunters: On the consoles FPS games are easily my favorite. From what I have read, this game actually makes the genre work on a handheld, which is like a dream come true for me. However, I have also read that it is incredibly uncomfortable to play and causes a lot of hand cramping. I find the wi-fi component very fascinating, but I am not entirely sure how much I will play it at home online, when I can play a console FPS with a bigger screen and less possible hand cramps.
Those are the three games I am considering. Please tell me which one you would pick and why. Thanks!
