There are an awful lot of quality titles on the DS. It all comes down to personal preference really. You'll find everyone has a different top 3 anyway, so I doubt this thread will solve your problem.

New Advance Wars, Mario Kart, Namco Museum (for the PacMan VS, which is ace multiplayer).

Edit: plus what he said^

My 3 recommendations to give a fairly broad range of games which should appeal to everyone are:

Elite Beat Agents
Zoo Keeper
Mario Kart DS

And I would also additionally recommend these slightly more specialised games:

Advance Wars DS
Mario and Luigi Partners in Time
New Super Mario Bros
Zelda Phantom Hourglass
Picross
Pokemon (Diamond / Pearl)
Metroid Prime Hunters
Puzzle Quest
Phoenix Wright
Anno 1701

And if he is a masocist:

Trauma Center: Under the Knife

Any recent additions to the ones above?

I am thinking of picking up a DS again but am a bit wary since I've had 2 in the past and got bored.

I am trying to convince myself it is because I didn't invest time in to the right games.
