Good games? Everyone raves about them, I have never played.

Why do I feel like I'm about to be flamed.

They merged the Dragon Warrior & Dragon Quest names to Dragon Quest with DQVIII. Its a decent series. Not as much depth as Final Fantasy series, but solid 8 of 10s for the most part.

The depth just wasn't there, storyline was usually better / more humorous though.

I'm having a hard time not buying a DS now

FF3, DQ9(or is it 10?), brain age and whatever else is out there are pretty appealing to me atm

Trauma Center and Ace Phoenix are both REALLY fun as well.

I'm still working on Trauma Center. I got it earlier this week and I'm on the last "sin" parts right now. I've only played through the first mission in Ace Phoenix so far. I'll play it more after I beat trauma center and let you know. There's also a sequal coming out sometime soon.

It's actually like you're doing the surgery except with a little more sci-fi elements. You actually get to use the stylus as a scapal and stuff like that. For example one of the first surgeries you have to do is a car accident victim with glass shards in his heart. You have to take tweezers and carefully take the glass pieces out and suture him back up. Very very cool and something DIFFERENT. Later on in the game it gets a little x-files-ish because your patients get parasites that you have to kill and extract from them.

Best game (yet sometimes frustrating as fuck) I've played on DS.

Yeah the last sin part with the triangles and thorns is the hardest mission in the game. It took me like 30 trys.

The X missions that you open up after you beat it are really difficult too. I've only done like three of them.

I realized you meant DS when you said stylus. I didn't know it was out for DS at all until Tacks mentioned it scalpel stylus. Looks good on Wii. I'm getting a DS lite any day now with Final Fantasy 3.
