Personally, I would drop Guitar Hero. The amount I played of that game,I really didn't enjoy it

@eroticfishcake: 
 
First, what the hell happened to your last sentence? Second, I actually liked TWEWY. Cool battle system, catchy music, and at least it wasn't (actively) ripping something else off.

@Video_Game_King: Oh I don't know. I'm trying to juggle too many things here. I'll take your word for it. I'll pick it up next time I'm out, thanks.

@AgentJ: Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside story needs to be in the must haves. 
 
Also as @oldschool: Final Fantasy Tactics A2 (and i didnt play FE) NEEDS to be in the must have strategy section (and consider Advanced wars), but definitely FFTA2

You hit on the exact two (three if you include partners in time) games that I know are good but will never be in any "Must Have" section of mine. Besides, the Must have area was originally only supposed to be ten games. I've stretched it out too much as it is.

I have enjoyed what I played of it, and I know other people have as well. It's one of the best rhythm games on the system, and while that isn't really saying a ton, it's still worth something/

@AgentJ: Oh, I did not know this topic was your opinion. I thought since it was sticky its just the overall reviewed highest.

@demontium: It's not simply my opinion, because I haven't played a lot of these games. In most cases I rely on users to tell me where games should go.  
This thread actually isn't sticky (unfortunately : (  ) but I specifically avoided doing it by which games were reviewed highest because some titles that don't really belong on a list of games on a games site would show up. This list is for gamers, and 99% of the time it's by gamers too. In the case of the games you mentioned it isn't.

If it makes a difference, one of my favorites didn't make the top tier either. As you can tell by my avatar, I'm a big fan of Elite Beat Agents, but I know it doesn't belong among the top tier.

@AgentJ: come on man look at the reviews if you have not played the game. 
 
It is the 2nd best RPG on ds. 
 
mario and luigi 3 NEEDS that spot. 
 
EBA may be your favorite, but as you said it is popular opinion, so look @ the reviews and ask anyone who has beaten it.

Second tier is still very respectable. After all, that's the tier that Phantom Hourglass is in. And again, one of my favorite games on the console didn't make the top tier.

I'm telling you it won't get it. To make things fair I've limited the top tier to ten games again. now M&L is on the same level as Chrono Trigger. It's not going any higher than 2.

I've felt the same way for a while, but it just hasn't happened. It's usually near the top of the DS boards anyway, so it's probably not that big a deal.  
On another note, does anyone know a consistent way to make the captions show up when you insert pictures? On those first few games, it doesn't seem to ever show up right.

Wow, that was a quick turnaround. Thanks to whoever anchored it and whoever asked a mod to anchor it.

I almost bought this game from Amazon. Almost. But ended up grabbing FFIII from gamestop instead. 
And, you know, I was really so excited about Prof Layton, but I find myself becoming very bored with it. Hopefully it'll get better as I progress. 
 
Tomorrow I'm going to gamestop to get some fresh gameage. Got a few ideas circling... maybe you can help. Here are my choices:
 
Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword
Phantom Hourglass
Scribblenauts (some nasty reviews out there... yet i remain optimistic.) 
 
Has anyone played Fossil Fighters..? heh.

Each of those are great choices. I've made no bones about expressing that Scribblenauts is severely underrated. The controls aren't great, but many peoples problems seem to stem from the fact that "you can spawn a helicopter and a rope and solve almost every puzzle". You can, but the point of the game is to use some creativity and imagination.  
Ninja Gaiden is a very unique handheld game, and it ends up working very well. As far as pure action goes, it's one of the best.  
Phantom Hourglass is another Zelda game. Its great.
