Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride - the makers of Final Fantasy go retro with the DS remake of this phenomenal classic. This epic tale takes you all around the world, with the usual dungeon exploration and monster slaying, with a nice graphics and audio upgrade. Thanks to the DS's online capabilities, players get to send and swap items with each other, adding a new dimension to an old title.

Evasive Space - Put your control mastery to the test with this WiiWare title. Pilot a space ship as you weave and wander through tight spaces and enemy fire. The game looks quite impressive for a WiiWare title, and for 1000 Wii Points, every point would be a point well-spent.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon - Another classic comes to the DS with upgraded graphics and revamped touch controls. This strategy game from 1990 was the first of the Fire Emblem series, and it still rings true to the mechanics and gameplay of the original, where swords, bows, and magic make a potent gaming formula.

Noby Noby Boy - Keita Takashi's new title has people scratching their heads as to what the game is all about. Well it seems that you'll be controlling a worm-like creature called "Boy" and the whole point of it is that you have to grow your Boy longer to upload it into an online character called Girl. Yes, you'll be growing Boys long to upload them into Girl. Interesting choice of names, I know. But for five bucks on PSN, it's worth a shot.

Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? - The Demon Penguin is just about ready to roll. Even the most advanced gamers are to have a little trouble with this 2D platformer, with a very limited lifespan and missions that weren't meant for penguins. But Prinny's not about to throw in the towel, he's still got his sword, and he packs a mean slash flurry with it. Finally, Prinny is gonna be a hero.

� Same here

In Canada, they have L & D listed for around 22-24$, so about 20$ US, not sure about the 30$ US, doesn't seem right.
