Couple that with the expected charm of a Kirby game, and we have an adventure that rivals any of the pink marshmallow's previous exploits. Radiant HistoriaTo an outsider, may look like any other JRPG. Brooding hero? Fantasy setting? Turn-based combat? However, this game takes serious risks with the formula, concocting an original and thorny experience.The three-by-three grid battle systems allows for an infinite number of strategies and flashy combos, while the branching, time travel-based storyline keeps the plot interesting.

As the game stretches on, you'll find yourself wishing that it never stopped.Special note also goes to Yoko Shimomura's lovely score. Man those are some good tunes.

Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2does everything it can to prove that you are not fit to be a surgeon.

If nothing else, Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 does an incredible job of conveying the agonizing pressure of being a surgeon while also being an incredibly fun game.

This sequel perfected the original's novel ideas and inspired successors like Surgeon Simulator years later. Sonic RushSonic the Hedgehog games tend to be hit and miss, but luckily for anyone who owned a DS, Sonic Rush was very much a hit. Sega's blue blur was as fast as he's ever been on Nintendo's portable system, featuring lush, colorful stages rendered in 2D and beautiful animations for Sonic and Blaze, who were 3D.' Rush' is certainly the right word, as the game gave you a boost ability that turned you invincible and made smart use of the DS' two-screen setup to give a sense of momentum. One minute you're rolling along the hills on the top screen, the next you're plummeting at high speed into the bottom. There isn't a more quintessential handheld Sonic game than this.

Dragon Quest 5: Hand of the Heavenly BrideFor 17 years, Japan alone experienced the joy of Dragon Quest 5, one of the largest, grandest RPG experiences on the Super Nintendo. When the DS became the series' new home in the '00s, Square Enix thought it right to finally bring to the West. Thank the Goddess they did, because it is not to be missed.Little did we know that things like plot-changing choices and major twists could be found way back on the SNES, but Dragon Quest 5 has them in spades. By following the hero from birth, we witness every little turn his life takes, both good and bad. Why it took so long for Americans to finally get this is anyone's guess, but we're more than happy to be able to play it. Super ScribblenautsThe first was an idea we absolutely loved.

Until we actually got hold of it, at which point we realized that most of its puzzles could be solved by just typing in the word jetpack., released a year later, worked around that problem by offering puzzles that - while still solvable in a variety of different ways - were more complex than just grab the star.Rather than just dangling a shiny object in front of us, Super Scribblenauts made you work for it by meeting certain conditions; getting a lion to fall asleep, for example, or waking up an astronaut so they could put out a fire. The sharper puzzle focus made Super Scribblenauts infinitely more interesting than its predecessor, and kept us fascinated even after we'd gotten bored of the game's real draw: experimenting with bizarre objects on the title screen.

It is a game. Where you will put your life on the line.'

These chilling words best describe the puzzle masterpiece known as. 999 shares a lot of what makes the Saw movies scary: strangers locked together in a tight space, and a deadly game being played that they've no idea how to win, with seemingly no way out. The story is intense, the puzzles are masterful, and the game will stick with you long after you've finished. Not many games sneak up on us and grip us like 999 did, which, considering the storyline, is more than appropriate.The game is available on iOS but only the DS version has its killer puzzles.

If you want to play its excellent successors and, you must start here. Retro Game ChallengeThe love and care that went into wins over who ever plays it. It's a minigame compilation, but each game directly rips off an '80s classic and turns it into a 15-minute abridged version perfect for a handheld system. Best of all, each game comes with a fictional backstory told through a series of made-up articles that read exactly like game magazines of the '80s and '90s.So yes, it appeals directly to aging gamers who long for their lost youth.
