547th played so far Genre: Shoot ‘Em Up Platform: Nintendo DS Year of Release: 2008 Developer: Treasure Publisher: ESP Software/D3 Publisher Right.

474th played so far Genre: Role-Playing Platform: Nintendo DS Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Game Freak Publisher: The Pokémon Company As mentioned about a year ago, when we played Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, I have always been into Pokémon.

399th played so farGenre: Adventure Platform: DS Year of Release: 2005 Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom Prior to us playing the game for this blog, I mostly knew the Phoenix Wright series through word of mouth.
