On Friday I toddled off to the nearest EB Games store and handed over some hard earned for a copy of Elite Beat Agents for the Nintendo DS.

This game has been getting first class reviews from various game sites and I've been curious as to how good it really is so I took a (small) risk and grabbed a copy. Needless to say, I'm very happy; and very addicted.

EBA is simple in concept - just hit numbers on the screen in time to the music - but it's executed so very, very well. Now I usually play games on the DS during the commute, but with this game I've played it across the weekend, took it to friends and got my wife to play (though I had to wait a while to get it back). It's great fun - even for a rhythmically challenged person such as myself.

If you've got a DS then go get a copy (or find someone to swap with) and have some genuine fun. I'm going to end this post now - the siren call of the Agents is getting loud again and I must answer. .. I cannot refuse...
