There are hardly any reviews and besides, I'd like the opinions of people here anyway. So what have you all played?
A large i-pod.
I'm intriged by Feel the Magic, but not much else. Obviously getting Mario DS as it's part of the VIP pack and I'll have the demo of Wario Ware and Metroid to keep me busy, but I'm not sure whether to use my GAD to get a new Xbox, Gamecube or DS game yet. If there's a DS game worth getting for launch, then I'll choose that, otherwise it might be Mercenaries, Donkey Kong Jungle beat or something else...

Maybe so for people using the thumbstrap on the touch screen, the screen with all the action on wasn't half hidden.
Anyways, Spiderman 2 isn't actually that bad, if you can get it for subŁ20. Worth the pot. That's what I have personally. Mario and Spiderman2.
Waiting for Nintendo classics....
After that I'd suggest you pick up Zoo Keeper or Polarion (if it's out in the US), as they're supposed to be horribly addictive puzzle games, and then of course there's Catch! Touch! Yoshi! if you're not bothered about Japanese games. Apart from that there isn't really anything until March, when a lot of the bigger games are being released.
I too am back into Mario. Just unlocked Wario and have been exploring the newly unlocked levels. Been catching a load of rabbits too, only have about 3 normal ones and 7 glowing ones left.
Most of the mini-games (which make up the story mode) are brilliant and use the DS's features brilliantly, but theres nothing there now to keep me involved for longer than a quick 10 minute play now and again.
But because of that ive gone back to Mario 64 and im really into that again.
Similar games like Wario ware keep me playing for longer. Im really looking forward to the DS one.
