Update (14 May 2013): This is a review I made for my other blog back in July 2011. As of this moment I also have a Sony PSP Go as well and may do some pieces on the games I really liked.

I have just started getting into the DS gaming scene recently, primarily because I have bought my 2nd Nintendo DS earlier this year. I broke my first one playing LEGO Rock Band, and it took me a while to buy another one. Why a DS? Firstly, I'm more of an on-the-go gamer now, choosing small and portable over HD graphics and powerful home console units. For some, they'd tell me I should've gotten a Sony PSP. Frankly, I don't care about the juice of the unit. I look for content, and the DS just has more content that interested me at the time of purchasing a handheld console.
