If you haven't put up your LB choices, put them up now!
http://teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=69144

So on topic, what are some recommended DS games, that are challenging anything at all. I've got Phantom Hourglass and a castlevania, so anythin else?

If you like puzzle games any of the professor layton series is good, any of the Days of ruin games challenging

The new Ninja Gaiden kicks ass. And Puzzle Quest is a game you can put 231231234 hours into.

I've been a big fan of Elite Beat Agents. Oh and for a weird sort of game... Trauma Center is good too. EBA being a rhythm beat game, while TC is... hmm I guess a puzzle/reflex game? Both I could put much time into. Unfortunately I have yet to find a good RPG that pulls me in. Anyone found one yet?

@Saxy: Do you know a game called "Osu!" ? It's the japanese version of EBA and really great if you like those kind of games.

Tetris DS is surprisingly worth it. That is... unless you don't like tetris

I've been burning tons of time on Yugioh 2008, but that's a game where you know way before you get it whether or not you'll like it

I have a ton of DS games because they are all free to me (I shall not go into detail why!)
Heres my opinion on the ones I have:
Megaman ZX - fun game. I didn't like the Megaman network or whatever direction that they went recently, but this game is closer to the older days of Megaman.
Phoenix Wright games - all of them were surprisingly fun. I would recommend trying any of these out.
FFIII DS - I had never played the original, so I felt I had to play this. It was very well made (remade!), I liked the story, and I liked the graphics. I can't wait for FFIV on DS (which coincidentally, comes out on my birthday)
Phantom Hourglass - You already have it, so I'll just say that it was fun to play through.
Brain Ages - Good games for wasting time or if you find your memory and logic skills suck, but aside from that, probably better off with the traditional games. It has a bunch of Sudokus though, which are good if you are into that.
Bust-a-move DS - I've found myself playing this game a lot when I've been bored, but I've always liked the game style. If you've ever played it in the arcade or somewhere else, its the same thing.
Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow - I liked this game. Not sure if its the one you have or not, but it was fun to play.
Diddy Kong racing - I actually liked the game on 64, but I think this game doesn't match up. If you want racing, Mario Kart DS has always been better imo.
Meteos - Fun game for awhile, if you are into the whole bejeweled genre of games.
Pokemon Pearl/Diamond - Its pokemon. If you like it, you like it. If you don't, you don't.
Professor Layton and the Curious Village - Fun puzzle game, but I'm not too into it. I'll occasionally turn it on and do a puzzle or two, but I can't find myself playing the game for a long period of time.
New Super Mario Bros. - I haven't played this game much, though I was expecting myself to. I still think its a good game, worth playing if you like mario games.
Mario Kart DS - Likely the best of the racing genre on DS.
Elite Beat Agents - I had heard nothing but good things about this game, but I couldn't get into it. Maybe I'm weird. If you like rhythm/music games, its good i suppose.
Kirby: Canvas Curse - Also haven't spent much time playing this yet, but it was fun when I did play it. I've always liked Kirby games though.
Polarium - I really like this game. Its puzzle genre but I found it quite addicting. Beat all the puzzles, but there is still a mode that involves a scrolling screen.
Super Mario 64 - Quite the same as its 64 version. Once you get used to the controls, its not much different, which is good, but I think I'd still prefer to play it on 64 again if I wanted to replay the game.
Sudokumania - If you like Sudoku, this ones not bad. To be honest though, I like the input and view of the Sudoku puzzles in both Brain Ages better.
Tetris DS - Crazy fun. There are a lot of modes and Tetris always has been a good time waster for me.
World Series of Poker 2008: Battle for the bracelets - This is the best of the poker games I've found on DS, but even so it doesn't have WiFi play which is what I was looking for. Still, a poker game on DS is my preferred waste of time between classes or whatever at the moment, so this probably gets the most usage as of now.

There are a bunch of cool games I don't have of course, so I'm looking into this thread as well for tips!

@ poilord
yeah, actually I did hear about those games, and I just checked it out.. although I think what makes the game so interesting to me is that I recognize the songs. but yeah I'll probably end up playing the japanese version.
