Ah, i am planning to play all 3 when i finish working these super-long hours at work! managed to sneak out some shopping at the weekend though and picked up a sealed and new copy of Mirror's Edge for less than a tenner at that place that used to be called Zavvi (Head, is it called now??)
Gah, Zavvi's changed its name too? I don't bother with all them shops anymore but it's annoying just keeping track of what Virgin Megastores became. GTA arrived, only played a couple of missions but this is kinda great. Between Pokemon and this I've got summer sorted for the DS... Now for Monster Hunter Unite, PeaceWalker and GT PSP (don't you quote autumn release dates at me!).
Zavvi went bust months ago, with many of the shops being re-opened by a different name (i think Head). And yeah it is a rubbish store, but i was looking for something else and this caught my eye. Hope it is good!

Please tell me you've seen Scribblenauts too? It's a DS game that's been tauted as being game of the year by many at E3 - it looks freaking unbelievable! I'm actually tempted to buy a DS just for it.
Scribblenauts is a definite buy but I'm worried that the concept will get old too fast. I'm hoping they limit your choices somewhat or have such a variety of puzzles that you can't just jump back in time and borrow a T-Rex. Good design needs to follow good concept, but I'm sure they'll pull it off.
But a big WTF needs to be said. Why did it take Sony this long to pay attention to the PSP and why has the last year and a bit (ever since Pokemon) been a boring ride for the DS?

Agreed - it feels like they only just started giving a damn about the PSP. It's certainly the first time in over a year that I've actually thought about buying a game for the PSP (and probably the first time ever that I've thought about buying more than one game for the PSP).
I've never really been interested in any of the DS games much though - I bought an original DS on launch and then sold it a few months later. GTA:CW looks good, and I like the Mario and Wario games. But like I said, Scribblenauts just looks like one of those games that I have to try out, even if I do get bored of it after a few hours.
I recently had to trade in my PSP because I ran out of money at Uni. I can't say it was a great loss seeing as I hadn't touched it in months. So much potential but got swamped by the DS. Got one of those recently (lime green ) and it's proved much more fun with plenty more innovative games. Scribblenauts looks like a great example of that.

Scribblenauts looks great. But I have a current trouble, I don't know wheter the get Pokemon Platinum or Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow for my full day plane rides to Singapore. I have my DSi I just need a good game. Ans Also, I highly suggest REd Fact: Guerrilla, even if the Mars theme is too cheasy, the destruction engine is amazing! Now when I play game like CoD:5 and CoD:4 I'm throwing grenades at buildings expecting them to blow up. I played RFG strai for about 3 days.

Oh good heavens you can't go wrong with either of them 2. Pokemon's a bit slower and takes much longer to complete, but Castlevania is just balls out hardcore brilliant. DoS took me 14 hours to complete, 24 hours to 100% at level 80 or so. Pearl took me 40 hours to beat the Elite 4 and I'm up to 150 hours with 402 (out of 493 or so) pokemon caught. Both outstanding games.

I don't use my PSP much anymore, maybe only for playing PS1 games on it. Ah Crash Team Racing and Sypthon Filter 2. Few weeks ago I was play MGS on it. Otherthan that, its just a bluky Mp3 player.
I used to have a DS but my dog thought it was a chew toy. ¬_¬ damn dog. I miss playing Sonic Rush on it.
