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?

Tetris, its always something to play when you got nothing else to do.

I find myself going back constantly to Super Mario 64 DS.

Tetris DS and Clubhouse Games for certain, I'd play AC more often if the game didn't make me feel so guilty for being absent.

I keep going back to Super Mario 64 DS, since it provides far more missions per stage than I feel like doing during a few weeks of playing it, and it comes bundled with plenty of mini games to waste my time with. In fact, this is the one game that I was willing to purchase a second time after trading it in several months ago (which I highly regret).

The same goes for XX/XY and Rub Rabbits, those are not much moree than mini game compilations but they are fun to play and I actually prefer them over Wario Ware.

As for Tetris DS, it bored me.

I started playing Castlevania: Dawn Of Sorrow again. The fact that (unless you are willing to invest countless hours into getting all abilities from all monsters) the abilities you gain from monsters are a bit random helps to add replay value to the game and at times demands different strategies at various points in the game after I start again from the beginning.

But hey, to each his own.
