Thinking of getting a DS

[Arkitech]

I've been debating on whether or not to pull the trigger on a DS, especially now that my PSP needs to be repaired. Basically the deciding factor for me will be based on strategy and puzzle games. I loved Advance Wars on the GBA and Me and My Katamari for the PSP is like crack, I could'nt stop playing that game. Can anyone recommend some good games for the DS?

I heard Age of Kings isn't bad. It's cheap too. I saw it at Costco for 16 bucks.
To hijack, has anyone tried that? Would love your input.

You did know there's an Advance Wars DS and an upcoming (Europe only announcement as of yet) Advance Wars DS 2?

Final Fantasy Tactics advance for GBA is a good strategy RPG. You can play it on the DS.

Advanced Wars DS is also right up your alley. Imagine fighting two fronts at once (on both screens)...a dogfight in the the air, and tank battle on the ground.

For strategy, also check out Age of Kings..the sequel to Age of Empires for PC:

For a puzzle title, go with Picross Plus...one of the best (and mind bending) puzzle games ever!

Advance Wars is great, and Age of Kings is pretty good as well, although it's quite different from the original series as it is turn based.
