OT- What are some good GameBoy Advanced game?

I'm usually into PC action, racing and stratagy games, hence my posting
here.

What are some worthy more *** orientated action games with puzzles or
strategy envolved? Or a decent racing game - Driver2, Colin Magree2.0??

I'd like to have to think instead of only using twitch fingers to beat a
game.

When buying the GBA I bought Smugglers Run and Tomb Raider, these any good?

Thanks for any suggestions and feedback in advance.

Tactics Ogre! It's an RPG, but it's a tactical turn based on

Also, Advance Wars

Here are my top 10 picks spanning multiple genres

Monster Force
GT Advance 2
Tomb Raider Prophecy
Spyro 2
Aggressive Inline
Ballistics: Ecks vs. Sever ( YES REALLY - much better than movie)
Duke Nukem
Castlevania
Chessmaster 9000
Pinball of the Dead

Advance Wars is fantastic.  It plays a lot like Panzer General.

Hmmm, since the Mario Kart port seems fairly similar to the SNES one, I
would recommend it.

The two best racing games are Colin McRae 2 and V-Rally 3, hands down.  Nothing
else comes near these two right now.

Advance Wars is for you.  If you like RPGs, then Golden Sun and Tactics Ogre
are also recommended.

Smugglers Run is suppsed to be pretty bad, while Tomb Raider has gotten mixed,
yet generally positive reviews.

As always, the Zelda games are recommended. There's one GBA games (a port of
the SNES game), and three GBC games, which are still good despide being made
for the color system.

Any word on ATV Quad Power being any fun? Looking for a racing game with
jumps, hill and stuff. Does CM2 or VR3 have jumps and hills and water, etc?

Advance Wars sure looks kiddish though. It does seem to get great
reviews where ever you look however.

It's just manga graphics kiddish. Trust me, it's extremely ***ive. I know
some people who have become obsessive ... then there's the multiplayer over
the link... and the map editor...

I also highly recommend getting the eCard reader if you can afford it
since Nintendo has released several of their classic NES games for it.
You can't go wrong with e***bike.

  Advance Wars plays alot more like the Battle Isle series, some might
say it is a clone thereof.

        Advance wars is considered just about the best strategy game. It
reminds me a little of Metal marines on the snes, but not as good.
        Another one that is hard to find and also considered one of the best is
Oger Tactics. I Just bought a GBA last week and a few days before I saw
this game there, but it wasn't there by the time I decided to buy the
GBA. You can still buy it on EBgames.com though.
        Take a look at some of the online reviews for GBA games on ebgames.com
and gamerankings.com.

Two of my favorite GBA games are Zelda: Link to the Past, which is a port of
the SNES game, and Metroid Fusion, which is one of the better games on any
system.

I played a little of ATV. It had some nice points, but was a little too
arcadey.

As for CM2 and VR3:  they are rally games, of course they are going to have
that stuff.  Heck, VR3 is better than some first generation Playstation games.
