Official “Pick A DS Game for Joe Haygood To Play” Contest

By Joe Haygood | June 2, 2008

EDITED: Added Professor Layton to the list, feel free to change your vote if you already submitted a title.  We will extend the contest by a couple of days to reflect this.

Okay, if anyone can remember back to Podcast number 29, Levi and George kind of ganged up on me about why I could not see myself getting into DS gaming.  The concept seemed strange, and the device just looks alien to me.  Stranger is the fact that I have a daily commute on the Los Angeles Metrolink train system, so you would think the mobile platform would just be a given for someone like myself.

Well, I have decided that I should give the Nintendo DS a chance to shine, and why not get the Aeropause community involved as well.  So Aeropause is going to hold a contest to select a game for me to play on my wife’s DS.  The game that gets the most votes will be the game that I play, but to spice it up a bit, we will have a prize of $40 in either Microsoft Point cards, Wii Point cards, PS3 Gift points, Steam Gift game, DS Game or PSP game going to one of the people that submit a vote. 

First off, you have to pick from a list of existing games that my wife owns, because I am not going to run out and buy a game only to hate it and lose any value.  Also, your entry must be mailed to tips@aeropause.com by June 20th 25th, 2008.  The winner will be announced on the podcast we record that weekend and in written form the following week the day that the podcast goes live. 

Here is the list of games to choose from.  It is not a huge list but it covers a varied spectrum of the DS game types:

Dementium The Ward
Nintendogs: Lab and Friends
Animal Crossing: Wild World
Trace Memory
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Lost in Blue
Platinum Sudoku
Cooking Mama
Lost in Blue 2
Picross DS
Trauma Center: Under The Knife
Touch Detective
Brain Age
My Word Coach
Professor Layton

So get to entering and tell me what I should play.
