Hello,

I just got my 69 year old dad a Nintendo DS Lite for Christmas. I think he'll love it, as I gave him some handheld Radica games like Solitaire, Freecell, Poker etc. last year and he's worn them out. He also enjoys poker online, Pogo and those type of games. So I thought it would be a good idea to go for a portable game system. Now, my question is, where is the best place to get the DS games? I'd like to get him 1 racing game, 1 action type game (maybe flying), some casino/poker games and a bunch of puzzle type games including possibly Brain Age and Big Brain Academy.

I'd appreciate any recommendations on where to get them and any game recommendations for him, if you have any. Thanks so much!!! :D
(I hope I have posted this in the right area)
 
Try EB Games and I highly suggest Clubhouse Games as it has 42 games, such as Blackjack, Darts, Chess, Checker, ect and you can playonline with WiFi.

Mario Kart DS is a fun racing game that you can play online, too.
 
One word: Tetris
My father is 66 and wont touch video games but will play Tetris til the cows come home...so to speak.
Brain Age is a good choice. Brain Academy is too but is "whackier".
Try buy.com for the games. If you use google checkout you get 20 off a 50 dollar purchase or 10 off 30. Good luck.
 
Thank you both!

I picked up Brain Age, Clubhouse Games, Age Of Empires, World Championship Poker, Ridge Racer and Polarium so far. I'm looking for a deal on Tetris and maybe Mario Kart too. I think I'll also get a screen protector, case and earbuds, so one of those accesssory kits sounds like a good deal.

What's a good accessory kit? Anyone know? Some of them have bad reviews on Buy.com.

Anyway, thanks again guys!!! He's going to love it! :D
 
Don't go to EB/Gamestop for DS games. A good amount of the DS games are $5 more than MSRP.

Target usually have decent deals for DS games.
