Please don't say that. I've already had to go cold turkey once.

There might not be WoW, but there are loads of Japanese MMO's

The Layton series on DS might be good vocabulary builders since it's text heavy and is about a whole variety of subjects, it also has some voice over too. And usually games made by square-enix (any) are good vocabulary builders kanji-wise because they often use kanji quite a lot, guess they love kanji haha. I personally find it easier than for example a game like Pokemon which is ひらがなばかり. Also, DS has a lot of history/biology themed games which naturally are good resources for vocab building.
*(hugging my DS) god I love my DS!

I bought a DS thinking it was going to help, but generally any real Japanese game has kanji written so small and in such a poor DS resolution that you can only read them if you are an expert already. I mean you can see their outline, but to see individual dots and small strokes and such was just giving me a headache. Specifically I'm talking about RPG type games, of course the Japanese learning games such as the kanji trainers are good and have large fonts.

psp games render kanji nicely.
