    Came across 2 new homebrew games over the Christmas, and I've been playing these more than commercial games.... try them out and see what you think.

    Anguna DS (Link)
    A Zelda-ish game, with a large overworld and 5 or 6 dungeons to work your way through. Graphics are pretty good, but the music will probably have you reaching for your volume switch. Great little game in the current Zelda drought, and pretty tough too....

    Starquake DS (Link)
    A remake of the old 8-bit classic game, and its really excellent. Its a classic flip screen platform game, with a very handy map on the bottom screen on the DS. As a fantastic enhancement to the original, there is an alternative scrolling mode, where the screen scrolls smoothly - it adds a whole new dynamic to the game - even if you're familiar with the original, this will feel like a new game.

    Thanks for the tip, Anguna is quite good, just waiting for the music to be released as a full soundtrack CD so I can listen morning noon and night.
