Which game should I play next as part of my #ADecadeofDS series?

I know they're not the most popular of the many series I've started over the years (a few of which have fallen by the wayside, it pains me to admit), but I'm really having fun digging through my ever-growing stash of European, Japanaese and North American DS games so I can play and write about them in one of my "A Decade of DS" columns.


That said, I'm having a hard time deciding which DS game I should go with for my next such write-up, which will be published in about a week (following the one I publish about Awatama, aka Soul Bubbles).


So, I thought I'd ask all of you to help me choose. I'm not going to ask for you to name random suggestions, though; instead, I'd like you to select one of the following:

Contact
Mr. Driller Drill Spirits
My World, My Way
Pac-Pix

Not that it matters, but the first two DS titles are the European versions of the games, while the third one is the North American release and the fourth is the Japanese iteration.


And what if no one votes, or if some folks vote and there's a tie? In that case, I guess I'll just flip a coin or something.

Contact. The end.

I had a feeling this would be a popular choice :)

"My World, My Way". No clue what it's about, but I'm envisioning Mary Tyler Moore as a power bottom. So yeah, go with that.

I'd love to play any game that puts you in the shoes of a power bottom, Femme Pixie. Unfortunately, this is not the game. Instead, as far as I can tell, this game is kind of the RPG equivalent of Super Princess Peach--very broadly speaking, of course :)

My World, My Way, for no other reason than the name sounds really cool.


Don't torment yourself with Pac-Pix if you can avoid it. If you had said Pac 'n Roll, that'd be different...

Considering three of four people who've chimed in so far have called for My World, My Way, it looks like that's the one I'll be playing next, Jess.

Thanks for adding your voice to the chorus :)

As for Pac-Pix, I'm def. going to play it at some point, as I already have the game.

Also, I'm probably going to go with these four games as my next selections as I'm too lazy/busy to come up with any others :)

Contact is a very cool game and I have yet to discover all its secrets. But I would like to see you play My World, My Way as I have not heard of the game before you mentioned it :-)

My World, My Way was a game that I was curious about, so I selfishly choose that one.

I remember getting Mr Driller Drill Spirits. Not a bad game. It was one of the first few DS games I got when I first got the DS.
I remember Contact. I enjoyed it at first, but I remember semi rage quitting over the game LOL I reached some point in the game where I encountered a "wall" of some sort and couldn't continue. I forget now what it was, but I do remember feeling highly irritated by it and giving up on the game.

Femme Pixie said...

That works too.

thegaygamer.com said...

Ha! Well, thanks for sharing your thoughts on those two games, Igor :P

thegaygamer.com said...

Thanks, Phillip! It looks like that'll be the game!

thegaygamer.com said...

You can rest assured I'm going to play all four games as part of this series, Lars, but I'll start with My World, My Way, it seems :)

thegaygamer.com said...

I sure hope so! ;)

apricotsushi said...

Ok, I love Mr Driller more than most people so normally I would say that, but I really want to hear about Contact! I've always wanted to grab it but never have. Would be great to hear your thoughts :) All of them are great choices, though!

thegaygamer.com said...

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Anne! It looks like I'm going to play My World, My Way first, then Contact, then Mr. Driller, then Pac-Pix, so everyone should be happy eventually :)

apricotsushi said...

Sounds great! I can't wait to hear about My world, My Way :)

thegaygamer.com said...

And I can't wait to play it. I have a feeling it's going to be "interesting"--even if it's not good :)

Justin Difazzio said...

I had the same experience. I'm curious if it was the same spot, Igor.

thegaygamer.com said...

Hmmm, now I 'm curious as to what happens at this "spot"...

ZACH said...

Omgggg do Contact do it do it do ittttt

thegaygamer.com said...

It isn't going to be next one, Zach, but it'll be the next one after that!

ZACH said...

Oh good! I'm just glad you'll be playing it. :)

apricotsushi said...

Totally random, but I just got a notication in my email about your comment, and for some reason it auto translated your post title to German? It came up as "Die Homosexuell Spieler: Welche Spiele kann ich spielen neben als Teil meiner #ADecadeofDS Serie?" lol

thegaygamer.com said...

Yeah, I've been getting the same notifications, Anne. Strangely, though, only about half of them say that. Weird. Hopefully it doesn't mean anything bad :|

thegaygamer.com said...

Yep, me too!
