When it comes to video games for the Nintendo DS, no title is hotter than The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. The game has brought new fans all over for the Nintendo DS.

The maps here aren't as well-rendered as what Nintendo could've made, but the tips are very handy with the gameplay, especially during the side-quests, but overall it just could've been better. I hope Nintendo consides making one soon, because it could've been a lot easier for gamers to play.
