Though we put together our own list of terrible DS games just two weeks ago, the more recommendations we have on games to avoid, the better off we'll all be.Aside from erroneously describing Lifesigns as a Trauma Center clone (Kenshuui Tendo Dokuta saw its Japanese release six months before Atlus' surgery sim), Pocket Gamer's ten worst DS games of 2007 excellently outlines which of this year's games you shouldn't spend your hard-earned money on. It has an even sampling of shovelware (e.g. MinDStorm: Train Your Brain and B-17 Fortress in the Sky) and titles with potential that fell flat on their faces (e.g. The Settlers and Lost in Blue 2) -- this way, you're not only warned of games that obviously suck, but of games that mask their severe failings until it's too late, as well.

When my uncle gave me Zelda for Christmas, I thought maybe he had actually learned which games I wanted. Then he slapped Deal or No Deal on me. Next year, I'm making a "Never Get Me For Christmas List" so this never happens again.

Sometimes I feel like the only person on the planet who likes Lifesigns.. it's such a good game, apart from the odd moment of frustration I can't really find much fault with it.

I'm actually enjoying Lost In Blue 2 so far. Like LiB, it's slow, repetitive, and really, really hard, but if you get on its wavelength, it can be really enjoyable---like Animal Crossing, but with goals.
