I Want
Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS)
The near infinite amount of personalization makes it easy to get sucked up in this super cute, if familiar, world.
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (DS)
This Wind Waker sequel spells success on the high seas with a DS stylus. Goodbye end-of-the-world plot device and hello good times in (sorta) tough dungeons.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
It's the same Zelda we've been playing since 1998, tweaked and balanced to perfection.
I'm playing
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii)
Metroid Prime 3 falls into the same category as Twilight Princess - the ultimate achievement of the series, yet in desperate need of an evolution.
New Super Mario Bros (DS)
Short and sweet, the Bros. first adventure in years packs in tons of classic moments and a hot two-player mode. Not to be missed.
I Love
Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)
Mario's first appearance on Wii launches him into outer space, where you tilt, bob and shake him across spinning globes in Mario 64 fashion.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords (Xbox)
Role play as a noble do-gooder or a dark and evil killing machine. The choice is yours in this worthy sequel to one of the best Star Wars games ever.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
Four-player fighting returns with new characters like Wario, Pit from Kid Icarus - and yes, Solid Snake.
Mario Kart DS (DS)
The online experience is limited, but it can't bring down what may be the greatest victory lap for the Kart series
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (Xbox)
This is a Star Wars prequel done right - with nary a Gungan in sight.
