I'm wondering which DS games are held like a book because I really like that and would like to try more of them(is there a complete list somewhere?).

The ones I know of (not counting all those Brain Trainings and Academies/Ages) are:

Hotel Dusk
Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword
plus some Japanese games like Nanashi no Game or visual novels like the Tennis Prince, Love plus etc.

I'm interested only in games which are in English (or translated/patched), does anyone have any more tips? Thanks!

An obvious one which has not been mentioned is Brain Training - but I guess it doesn't even need a mention?

I have played some others, but I cannot think of them right now, but I will try.

Oh of course ok. I did check that, but I guess I missed it. Thank you.

There also was a pretty good homebrew held like that.. Can't remember the name tho.. Wolf-something?
Oh yeah, the Lone Wolf series! I tried the second one on PC emulator, but couldn't get past the first few screens, I tapped and tapped and nothing happened. I'll try to find the first gamebook and give it a try.

Thanks for the other tips too, but it looks like no "real" games (meaning rpgs, action g. or even visual novels) have been released besides Ninja Gaiden, Hotel Dusk and perhaps counting Rhythm Heaven as well. Games like word puzzles, various kinds of tetris, girlish games and so forth just don't spark my interest

(although I'll check out the Girl's Diary, or whatever it's called, even if it won't be held like a book it has a full voice chat

). I'll be hoping that one of the visual novels gets translated and then I'll finally try out yet another "held like a book" DS game!

EDIT: Quantum of Solace? That sounds good, but I don't like the graphics too much and style of play. But if nothing's better on. .

Say, do you think we should go and try to do a full list which would get stickied, so that people won't have to search hard?

Yeah Lone Wolf Books, i, you can find them on Projekt Aon(Books- Tools...don't know if linking is allowed). I liked them, but only the first two books are made.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
