A couple of thoughts:

- Use advanced search

- Use Metacritic

- These are games I own and have played.

Children of Mana is 250 points, and is a decent jRPG in the 'Mana' franchise. 

Jam Sessions is 150 points - it is a guitar simulator for the DS, which is a blast to play around with.

Lost Magic is 200 points and is a fun but tough action-RPG with almost a RTS feel at times.  Did I mention it can be tough?

Mage Knight: Destiny Soldier: 200 points really fun hex-grid turn-based strategy-RPG in the Mage Knight universe.  I liked it enough to get a second copy for my kids.  But you need to love the 'Heroes of Might & Magic' sort of genre.

Meteos Disney Magic 250 points -  a few here don't like Meteos, most love it ... this one is great fun, but teens and twenty-somethings might feel their manhood is challenged liking a Disney game.

Metroid Prime Pinball 200 points - best handheld pinball game.

Operation Vietnam 200 points - wonderful fun top down shooter.

Scurge: Hive 150 points - another really good top-dowbn shooter, but not as good as Operation Vietnam

(note: I went alphabetically and skipped stuff I would feel bad if you didn't like.  For example, my son loves the 200 point Need For Speed game, but it isn't my thing.)

Metacritic is a review site that rates games, sorta like IGN.com reviews, etc, etc

'Meta' implies drawing inferences from data drawn from other data ..

Metacritic is a site that does *no* reviews of its own, but rather aggregates scores from other sites.  It is (along with GameRankings and GameStats) the best place to go - much better than just hitting a single review site.
