The puzzle portion of Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors is substantial and enjoyable enough in its own right, but it's the story that keeps you hooked. Here is proof that videogame narrative can be everything that people wish it could be and more. It gets you thinking, pulls at your fears and emotions, and hits you with a few perception-altering twists.
These 4 puzzle games are perfect for beginners who want to be eased into the genre. Some involve numbers, others shapes and some a bit of abstract thinking. If you have ever been curious about puzzle games, but found them too daunting, starting off with one of these 4 games will show you that anyone can get good at them with a little practice.

My personal fave was New Super Mario Bros. What a fantastic game that was. I had great fun since it was the first 2D Mario platform game in quite some time. The hidden coins and exits added great replay value and it was brilliant for gaming on the go.
I also enjoyed Final Fantasy 3, Mario Kart and Animal Crossing. It is a shame I didn't buy more DS games.
