Mr. Driller DS is the archetypal GBA game pretending to be something more than it is. While it doesn’t much take advantage of the platform’s features, this doesn’t diminish the addictive action-puzzle gameplay.

Xenosaga 2 is an unadulterated Japanese role playing game wrapped in an excessive quantity of cut scenes. The gameplay is uninspired when it isn’t frustrating, but the cut scenes are fairly entertaining and fans of the series can enjoy some story revelations. If you do play it: don’t play for the game, play it for the parts that aren’t interactive.
