Oh man, I just finished this game called Hotel Dusk for the DS...
I think I'm gonna cry...what an incredibly well written story. :cry: It has perhaps the best characterization I've ever seen in a game...or will see again. If you have a DS...get it. Seriously. Just get it. You can find it cheap, and it's totally worth it.
There's a scene at one point that involves decorating a Christmas tree that is so touching you'd have to be a stone-hearted Ogre to not be moved by it.
It was like reading a really good novel where you come to really become invested in the characters and care about what happens to them. It's that good.

1. Sounds sappy. I'd have to stop playing Stone Hearted Ogre for that crap.
:hide:

Just kidding. What kind of a game is it? I have a DS but hardly ever use the thing (I have Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 3 for it, and that's it).

3. It's a puzzle/point-and-click type game.
It's very heavy on dialogue, and you have to be careful during conversations, since certain dialogue choices will lead straight to a game over.
There's also a lot of exploration and problem solving involved. It requires thought. So if that's your thing, you'll enjoy it.

Might I also recommend Final Fantasy 4 for the DS? :)

2. That looked intriguing when it came out
But I'd forgotten all about it.

Might have to pick it up...of course, that will require me finding my DS first.

4. Same here...I'd forgotten all about it...
but then I saw it cheap at Circuit City and decided to finally get it. It's well worth it. :)
