On the subject of "kid" games that end up being a whole lot more fun than they have any right to be, let's mention Paper Mario. That game had every reason to appear as a game designed for 7 year olds, but damn if it didn't draw a crowd of Halo-loving frat boys from around my house to all sit down and play the whole damn thing. Innovative, varied gameplay, cool graphics and a storyline that any fan of the Mario series would appreciate, and nothing you'd care at all if a five year old saw or heard. Good stuff all around.
Staying "on topic" I'm not much of a handheld person. I've not been too impressed by what I've seen with the DS so far. The PSP sure looks a hell of a lot sleeker. DS seems somehow unfinished to me. I played Metroid and didn't find it to be much fun, either. Who knows. I doubt I'll be buying one regardless, but it will certainly be interesting to see how the market responds to having the DS and the PSP running around.
