The DS is a great little console and is very unique to boot - which means it’s one of the only systems where games are tailor made for it. You have your Brain Training, Hotel Dusk and Elite Beat Agents titles that might not work as well elsewhere.

Doodle Hex is the newest unique game to appear. In it you must draw magical runes in order to win a mystical prize. It sounds very easy, but is in fact incredibly addictive. Over 250 challenges totalling well over 100 hours of gameplay mean you shouldn’t get bored soon either!

Ferrari Challenge is a racing game that features a range of Ferrari cars to choose from - I bet you’re surprised by that…not. There’s loads of vehicles as soon as you pop the game in, and even more to be unlocked as you go along.

A great idea implemented in this is that at the start of each new racing season new downloadable teams, cars, and content are made available. This ensures your game is up-to-date at all times.

I’d love to say that Monster House is one of the rare movie tie-in games that’s actually worth getting - sadly, this is far from the truth. Kids might like it though!

Key moments from the film are recreated, and there’s some new adventures inspired by events in the movie, but it’s not one of those cheap games that’s good enough to recommend a purchase.

That said if you do fancy getting this DS game for £9.39 from Forget The Rest, simply click here.

Young girls everywhere love The Little Mermaid - not being young or a girl, I am basing this on what my own sister was/is like. Some young boys may enjoy it as well.

Disney’s The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Undersea Adventure takes the main characters from the animated film and thrusts them into a new journey, where all the DS’ unique attributes (including the microphone and stylus) must be used.

I’ve always enjoyed the 2D versions of Castlevania, but the 3D titles have been quite disappointing. It’s good news then that Castlevania: Portrait Of Ruin goes back to what the series does best - scrolling 2D fun-time action!

You can control two different characters (vampire hunter Jonathan Morris and Charlotte Orlean, a young girl with magical abilities) who must thwart the attempts to rebuild Dracula’s castle and unleash a reign of evil upon an unsuspecting world.

There’s a few animal games available for the DS, but none have quite hit the heights of popularity that the Nintendogs series has. Probably something to do with Nintendo making this one themselves, instead of farming it out to a dodgy developer.

Nintendogs: Dachshund & Friends lets you train up and look after a Dachshund or six other types of dog. Play games with it and enter competitions in order to win money - this can then be used to buy supplies and even more dogs to keep yours company.

If you’ve caught all the pokemon so far, I’ve got some bad news for you - there’s more to catch. In Pokemon Diamond you have a new batch of the annoying little critters to try and round up.

A good addition in this title is the ability to share and battle pokemon all over the world, thanks to the wireless network. Another great option is to be able to import all the pokemon you’ve caught from GameBoy Advance games - boosting your squad quite handsomely, I would think.

Choices UK have this DS game available for £14.99 - click here for more details.

Nintendo seem to release two pokemon games at the same time (I wonder why - money perhaps?) every year, and this is no exception. Pokemon Pearl has a different set of pokemon for you to catch.

Everything else is basically the same as Pokemon Diamond, but you can also connect with players of the other game - meaning that you don’t necessarily have to buy both. Which is nice.

Choices UK also have DS title this available for £14.99 - click here for more details.

You might like to know that when you order either of these cheap games you get a free pokemon stylus pen and dangler. It’s not the world’s best freebie, but I’m not complaining!

I’ll be honest and say that I’m not entirely sure that Top Trumps is an ideal candidate for getting turned into a video game - I mean, it’s basically a "mine’s bigger than yours" card game!

Anyway, Top Trumps: Doctor Who takes this simple idea and combines it with the good Doctor. Would Brannigan beat Novice Hame in a cat-fight? Is the Dalek Emperor more monstrous than the Family of Blood’s scarecrow soldiers, or will the Ood beat them all? Find out by playing this!

Imagine actually being a Pokemon - quite terrifying, isn’t it? Well in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers Of Darkness you can actually live out this fantasy, although only in a virtual sense (of course).

You get pretty much what you expect from any Pokemon game in this, but with the added Friend Rescue option - this means that if you faint you can send an SOS message via the wireless network to someone else who has a copy, and they can come and rescue you. How nice.

You can get some crazy games for the DS, but none match the weirdness of Elite Beat Agents. You play the part of an elite group of agents who solve problems by singing and dancing. Yes, this is truly bizarre.

As the music plays, tap the screen and trace rhythm patterns to keep the beat - whilst you do this, the story plays out on the top screen. Great, addictive fun it is as well.
