We all like new games, but we also tend to have games we come back to time and time again, whenever nothing else is grabbing our attention. Elite Beat Agents, Puzzle Quest, Tetris DS ... we could go on and on about some of our favorite repeat time-wasters, but we're here to talk about your choices. So tell us -- what do you come back to between other games?

Pokemon cheaters banned
A primary concern of Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (or, at least, that of this blogger) is the incredibly rampant cheating. In the past, use of an Action Replay wasn't a horrible offense ... your team would be uber, and a couple of your personal friends might be a bit ticked, but that was all.These days, in the era of Wi-Fi, ridiculously impossible trades litter the GTS. What, you don't have a Level 100 shiny Palkia? Well, hmph, you can't have my Level 7 Munchlax, then. For honest players, or those that don't have access to hacking tools, such Pokemon would take days to train up and impossible luck/determination for one with shiny status. That's why we're happy that Nintendo is cracking down on some Action Replay users, specifically ones using the "All 493 Pokemon," "All Shiny," and "National-Dex" cheats. They will henceforth be banned from online barter.
Feel free to start a flamewar regarding the justification of cheating, by the way. We're pyros.
DS Daily: Staying power
High profile game releases come and go; we play the heck out of titles and usually move on. But sometimes, we don't. We go back, again and again, due to some unknown and mysterious force, beckoning at our wills.Mario Kart DS and Clubhouse Games always seem to wind up in our DS after periods of relative inactivity; the casual nature of said games make it extremely easy to fit a round in whenever the mood strikes. Other games, however, such as Metroid Prime: Hunters, have gone untouched for months. Which titles do you guys play again and again, burning the midnight oil?
