(Last Update: Nov. 18th, 2009)

* Note: I filtered out some DS releases that should have been in the Top 50 but I chose not to add them because they were gimmick budget releases and it pained me to enter them into this list, such as Imagine: Babyz, Image: Fashion Designer, Hannah Montana, and High School Musical.
