Summary 25.5/30
  "Legion" , is a top-view 3d shooter which takes full advantage of the DS's unique features. It has a full solo campaign mode , and you can also play online via WIFI.
Pros & cons :
+Multiplayer over WIFI
+Good looking 3d models
+Very intense story mode
-There are a few graphical glitches(flickering)
-The radar goes crazy sometimes without reason
-BGM is a bit off- the concept
-It takes some time to get used with the controls
-Most of the levels are really short...(some of them can be finished in less than 40")...
-After the level with the giant enemy , on the next level if more than 4 enemies start
chasing/firing you the game lags very bad...
I turned off my DS right after i died *<*...
3.5/5
Graphics
Graphics aren't bad , but there are many graphical glitches ...especially
when the hero is moving , you can see "black dots" over the screen flashing...
4/5
Sound
Some SFX are ok , but not all...
BGM is a bit off- the concept(imo).
4/5
Gameplay/Ideas/Innovation/etc
The gameplay is simple , but it takes time to get used with the controls.
Enemies can kill you easily from a long distance , without beeing able to fire them back...
4/5
Replay value
Replay value isn't that high , even if i take account WIFI mode.
The reason is , it feels like taking a walk in a dungeon full of hungry monsters without...lights & weapons...
Weird feeling...

-Radar goes crazy sometimes without reason(even if you stop moving)
-Some better textures would be welcome
-A better BGM theme
-There are graphical glitches(flickering)...
Summary 21/30
 Element DS is inspired by a flash game called "Colliso DS". Your objective is to destroy all tiles by dragging them towards equal symbol/color tiles. The gameplay logic is really simple : If two tiles with same color/symbol collide , they both get destroyed. If two tiles with different color collide , they swap collors. A moving tile will not stop moving until there's collision with a wall-type tile.
Pros & cons :
+Nice UI
+Nice image transitions
+Nice graphics & smooth scrolling
+Very addicting gameplay
+Responsive controls
-I think the music is a bit off- the concept.

 Author will describe it much better: "Game Trivia Catechism -The Secret of Mister X-" is a multiple-choice trivia game,
testing your knowledge of video gaming. It can be played as straight trivia,
or as part of a story that follows Mister X's journey through the King of Game Trivia Tournament.
Two new game modes allows players to tackle challenging missions, or try practice mode and perhaps learn something!
In-short : GTC:TSMX is a multiple-choise trivia game with different game modes.
Pros & cons :
+Very cool&stylish graphics
+Alot of work have been done in story mode

 Totitoes , is a pretty simple game. All you have to do , is to move the hero-object over the screen and pick all coins around the bottom screen. But wait! , its not that easy as you might be thinking! You will have to avoid the mad enemy on the top screen... o yeah...

Pros & cons :
+Nice concept
-No real animations
-I don't see the reason for the static image in bottom screen to be there
-Quite sensitive controls
-Graphics need more work
-No in-game background music

There's only a small (glitchy) bgm intro in the beginning , and only 2 (in-game)sound effects.
Explosion effect sounds glitchy by the way...

Summary 8/30
 Here we have a chess game. I was expecting more from this , but , it turned out to be a rushed project. Uhh...
Pros & cons :
+There are many different type chess games
-No SFX/BGM
-There's no "check"/"chekmate"
-You can still move the king even with checkmate(!)
-The game won't end even if the king have taken
-(BUG)When all your pieces are taken , the game seems to crash or something.
You can't return to menu...you just have to turn off NDS...*<*

Very simple graphics...but not bad...

You posted like the second after my post!
Really nice review I have to say!
Good point-schemes and pretty straightforward. Like the way you ordered the games after the points, and not just random like some.
You seem to share my opinions of the games (except my own of course...) 
I would have placed legion a bit higher though, especially cause of the online mode!
It seems to be an awful lack of NDS-reviewers here?

Well , i was expecting more from Legion.
Im not saying that its bad , actually , its pretty impressive homebrew,but there are a few things that make the game to suffer(especially the gfx glitches).

Hi!
Its normal to not agree with every single thing i wrote in my review.
As for your game , well , yes , it needs sound effects & textures(at least) really bad.
You have something interesting there(personally , i love the camera...very well implemented...but its not enough),
and SFX+BGM+Textures/3d models would bring your game to life. 
A game without sound effects , is like watching fireworks without being able to hear them...or like watching
LOST with sound turned off(lol).
All developers have offered to the community , but this is a contest , and every single detail matters.

Yeah, that's the point, i like game with more gameplay and less graphics  mmmm like http://donotjava.netsons.org/?p=63I think marble is a great hb from every point of view exept the gameplay With this i don't mean that CrackAttack has more gameplay [i'm losing my life with it, but i know some powerup could be interesting] [hope the authore of marble will not blame me  ]
I get your point , but ... this is a contest  .
A game must combine everything in order to reach the top.
That's why there are different categories in each review("gameplay","graphics","sound","replay value") , some games get unbalanced scores in different categories , so , its impossible to get on top.
For example , if we had a "snake-type" entry in 2d grayscale graphics without sound effects, but with superb gameplay features , it would be impossible to reach the top since it would have unbalanced score.

Very nice review.
Although I would have liked to see my own entry in the top 10 off course Then again I could have spend some more time on BGM & graphics 
PS. I genuinely hate space backdrops so this will never happen
