    Which control scheme do you tend to prefer in your DS games? Do you like (well-done) touchscreen controls, or would you rather use the d-pad? Some games offer you a choice -- can you think of any times when you used the opposite of what you usually prefer, because it felt right for that particular title? Or, when given the option, was there ever a time the opposite of your usual preference won you over? Final Fantasy III comes to mind here for us; when we first tried it, we weren't much for navigating with the stylus (though we typically enjoy stylus-based play for convenience), and yet after a while, using the stylus just seemed to make more sense.

    Yesterday's Halo 2 video featuring the Wii controls got us thinking about all sorts of other games -- both newer and older -- that we'd love to see implemented in a similar fashion. And we figure that our few thoughts are but a drop in the bucket next to the collected thoughts of the community, so c'mon, lay them out there. If you suggest PC games, maybe you'll even get to see your dream realized in one of Mike Sylvester's weekly columns! If you ask nicely, that is.
