Pocket Gamer have couple of handy articles for new (or non-hardcore) DS Gamers. Best and Worst DS Games of 2007. Maybe worth pointing out that my wife has been quite enjoying Harry Potter (on the PocketGamer worst list!) though she has had to persevere with it.

I bought my DS in August last year and I have played Brain training, 42 All Time Classics and Sight Training most of all. I am growing quite fond of these mini-game collections - I have some big games to play but they require too much investment at the end of a busy day! It's great platform too - it will be interesting to see it evolve. An ebook reader on day? Python powered? It runs on so little power a solar charger or foot pedal would be cool too

Wow. Weeks since the last blog. Been getting back to work after the summer hols and things have been busy. Busy with some fun stuff too.

Another Nintendo DS has joined the gadget family - this time a black one for me. Marta has had a DS for 8 months now so we have a little games collection already. Mario64 is fun and Brain training is good. My favourite has to be '42 All Time Classics' which is a mix of card, board and action games. Lots of variety and makes it easy to learn new games - today I played Japanese Chess for the first time. I also picked up a cheap copy of Golden Eye : Rogue Agent. It has mixed reviews but its pretty fun so far especially for a Bond fan like me!! There's some cool Homebrew (and Stackless Python) which I may get into if it has a decent web browser.

Staying with things portable, Google Maps is out for the Pocket PC. It works fairly well on my iPaq and is smoother than the web browser base version. Reinforces my belief in Desktop applications being Net enabled.
