At the risk of stating the obvious, try Ebay if you know which game(s) you want.

Also check out the ds forums and reviews over on http://www.eurogamer.net/

I had a lot of fun playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and Another Code. Although Another is a very short game so don't buy it new or spend more than £20 on it.
I've also got:
Mario Kart DS - wifi capable game- came with the ds, haven't played this for a while. It's great fun though.
Brain Training - wifi capable game, good fun - and has those suduko(sp?) games on it as well.
Animal Crossing - wife capable game - this is fun, sort of like the sims, you can visit other player's towns and they can visit yours.
Tetris DS - wifi capable game
Yoshi Touch & Go - platform game - got bored of this
Mario & Luigi Partners in Time - got bored of this
Lunar Genisis - rpg - got bored and gave up during the first quest.
Metroid Hunters - haven't got around to playing this yet

I'm sure someone who is a better gamer than me will be along to give you some recommendations.

I really would recommend homebrew for DS! Homebrew is completly Legal

You can get a GBA flash cart and then a Max media launcher from codejunkies. The max media launcher lets you launch DS programs from the GBA port. So you need a GBA cart that has a DS loader. This basically lets you run "homebrew" programs for both DS/GBA on your DS. Theres alot of good stuff out there... its legal too. The GBA flash cart and max media launcher can be used for commercial roms, but thats illegal unless you own the original and obviously not recommended at all.

GBA flash cart... http://www.jandaman.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=gbaezflashII512 thats the one I got which was the best a while ago... i dont think its the best any more, but it does work with the max media launcher. I think theres some cheaper ones you can get that take SD cards, that you then use a card write to write to. Ledshoppe had card writers that were like $5 delievered. And you can get 1 Gig SD cards fairly cheaply. That cart I linked to is in Mbits instead of Mbytes, so can effectively only hold 64 MegaBytes of data. So most cost effective is the SD card ones since thats (roughly) 1000 MegaBytes. Dont have links to anythough, i just know they exist !

Just to add to Locky's post, DS's are region free so its okay to get the US versions of games for a UK model.

Cheers everybody, I got Advance Wars from tesco jersey for £13.

I also got Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes A Day for £13 and Lost Season 2 for £31 (yes I am a lostaholic, but its just soo cheap) from MovieTyme.

Im looking for some mario games now to relive my youth lol

I had a look on ebay and even used games seem to going quite high, in some cases above retail! I guess thats the reason I sell mostly and rarely buy anything from the bay.

Does anyone know of any more companies like MovieTyme that are based overseas and can sell games cheaper?

Diminutive - i've got a EZF4 Lite and PassCard 3 on order from cheapmod.

Here are some other companies:

AxelMusic (Denmark)
DVDCrave (Australia)
VideoGamesPlus (Canada)

LikSang (Hong Kong)
Play-Asia (Hong Kong)
YesAsia (Hong Kong)

I'm not sure about customs for all these. You will be ok with YesAsia because they prepay it for UK customers. See here.
