    Alright guys, rankings up. I did a top ten, simply because its really the way that was most reasonable considering the number of votes. Despite the smaller crowd, 49 different games were still put forward. Thanks to those of you who participated!


    -Top Ten DS Titles-

    1) Mario Kart DS [57 points]

    2) New Super Mario Bros [46 points]

    3) Final Fantasy IV [34 points]

    4) Professor Layton [33 points]

    5) Pokemon Diamon, Pearl, and Platinum [28.5 points]

    6) The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks [26.5 points]

    7) Ace Attorney Series [25 points]

    8) The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass [23.5 points]

    9) Sonic Rush Series [20 points]

    10) Chrono Trigger [19 points]



    Notes on Rankings:

    Games were given points based on the rankings provided by members. In every member\'s list, their first place title earns a game 10 points, with every title down to the their tenth awarded 1 less. Games ranked from 11th to 15th were awarded .5 points each.

    Some games from series were combined to make one entry, to avoid redundancies.

    Right, I think my view on things may have changed a bit since last year, but here goes...

    1) Chrono Trigger
    2) Pokémon Platinum
    3) Ace Attorney
    4) The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
    5) Professor Layton
    6) Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
    7) Sonic Rush
    8) Mario Kart DS
    9) Rhythm Paradise
    10) Final Fantasy IV

    Might add 5 more if I feel they need a little support. Thinking of Scribblenauts, FFIII, FFCC (should prolly go as a series unlike FFIII/IV), Squeak Squad, Warioware, Pokémon Ranger 2.

    Also really would have loved to add Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver, but I\'m not sure since not many have played it, and would it go along with D/P/P? Or be a separate game? I dunno lol.

    EDIT: Can I request this list be put on hold until everyone\'s played Spirit Tracks? If Phantom Hourglass gets a higher spot than ST then the list loses all credibility. Smilie

    Bumped! Don\'t forget about this!

    Can I request this list be put on hold until everyone\'s played Spirit Tracks? If Phantom Hourglass gets a higher spot than ST then the list loses all credibility.


    I was concerned about that too, which is why I\'m giving people until the 3rd. I\'m hoping to beat it by then, so I\'m holding off my list until then. If you think maybe a few more days would help, I could extend it until the 5th or 6th. The reason I\'m having it now is because I really won\'t have the time very soon. My Christmas break is almost up!

    Don\'t fret too much if PH wins out though, as I\'ll likely be holding another one at this time next year too. And by then certainly everyone will have played Spirit Tracks.

    Last attempt at getting some interest. If this dies right off, then I'll just call it off for now.

    What do you plan on doing then? Bumping it again in a week or so?
    You should keep trying to generate interest 'cause it was really good last year :/

    Dunno, maybe in 6 months or so? It was pretty cool last year, but activity is a bit down at the moment so it might be best to save it for later anyhow. We'll see!

    Nice list. Kinda seems like the usual suspects, though. Last night I bought a DSi and a few games - Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time, and More Brain Training. £60 I paid for the lot! Smilie

    Not sure if I like Zelda and FF, but Brain Training is a great use of the DS.

    £60 for the DSi included? Nice work! Was someone looking for drug money or something?

    Tetris and Mario Kart are probably best buys as they are perfect for pick up and play. WarioWare Touched makes great use of the console itself though.

    Is this a deal I could get somewhere, or just one you snagged off someone for a bargain? ;D

    No no, it was all above-board. My sister bought it for herself a few months back, but didn't really use it. Ryan already has his own DS fat model, and so she was going to take it down CEX. I just gave her what CEX were gonna give her. It was a great deal for me, couldn't really pass on it in good conscience.

    I can probably buy Mario Kart off Ryan for a fiver or something. I'm not going to unless I can sort out using my computer to get my DS online. I've been browsing at some DS games I'm interested in, and they're all surprisingly pricey. Even SM64DS is still £25 everywhere. One game I'm massively-interested in is Korg DS-10. I want that one, badly.

    Anyone have it and want to sell it?
