Since im a big into sports video games and not puzzles only 5% of what Ive downloaded is in the sports genre, 45% in the puzzle genre. I would have to rate my collection 6/10 . Even though I enjoy most of the puzzle games Ive download I just need that first great sports game to drop on dsiware soon..... come on Ninty,ya have to have one on standby

Min

Current rating of DSiWare on my DSi: 9/10
Overall: 7/10
In that overall ranking, I didn't count Castle of Magic, IMO, the worst DSiWare I've DLed.

The most minlicious of them all.

My DSiWare collection:

Dark Void Zero: 9/10
Great retro game. Capcom hit it right on the spot with this game, good challenge, classic 8-bit action, long levels, even though there's only 3. I got 100% on levels 1 and 3, but can't find the last few items on level 2. I still play it from time to time.

Art Style: BOXLIFE: 8.5/10
Unique style of gameplay, Factory mode is great, would be a 9, but the R&D is frustrating to me.

Art Style: PiCTOBiTS: 8/10
Fun game with classic characters, but some later levels seem easier than earlier ones.

Paper Airplane Chase: 7.5/10
This game is actually addicting and calming, one of the better 200 point games

Escapee GO!: 8/10
This game is 200 points? it could've been 500 points if there were a few more levels. The survival mode keeps me coming back to beat my scores and enough levels for 1-player to make a good game.

PictureBook Games: The Royal Bluff: 9/10
Why don't more people own this game? it's really fun for the strategic gamer and very unique style of gameplay.

Pinball Pulse: The Ancients Beckon: 7.5/10
Very realistic pinball game, and fun, but there simply needs to be a bigger screen area to make aiming easier.

Pop Island: 8/10
Very fun game only limited by almost no variations in the characters. Plus it makes me thumb joint hurt after a few rounds.

Trajectile: 7/10
Good game, but it just doesn't have me coming back to play it every day like my other games.

UNO: 7/10
It's UNO except with multiple rule changes to keep it interesting

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again: 9/10
Great game for a great price. It could've easily been a retail game. Construction zone is always fun.

Bomberman Blitz: 6/10
I regret downloading this, and it's off my DSi on my SD card now. I just didn't like it that much.

go to www.virtualhamgames.com for great original independent games, a help service, and reviews for our games.

*Additions to my list
Starship Defense- 9/10
Very original tower defense. It's a challenge to finish a level without letting an enemy by or using an SOS card, but challenge is good, since it adds replay value.

Electroplankton Luminarrow- 7/10
I almost regretted downloading this after a few minutes of play, but for some reason I'm finding myself to like this title the longer I play it. I guess I'm learning to make better tunes

I guess I should explain..

Art Academy: Great fun, really teaches you something that sticks and it's just a genuine, greeting environment to try drawing whatever you'd like. Superb controls, sounds, and use of the touchscreen; 9/10
Dark Void Zero: Difficult games don't make fun games, and fun game this is not; 6/10
Fieldrunners: No amazing graphics, same type of guns we see in every single tower defense game, but it's still one of the best; 8/10
Starship Defense: Clean, slate-like graphics with some nice tower types and unique touches makes it feel original and fresh; 9/10
Trajectile: Some puzzling choices in design (the number of times I've had to re do a perfect position because the line wasn't blinking) and the graphics are a bit too stale, but otherwise it's a great game with so many levels for hours of play; 7/10
Pro-Putt Domo: Nothing special, a typical cheap golf game with a... thing instead of a person, some mediocre graphics, and a bit hard to get it if you're not the best for this kind of stuff; 6/10
(All Electroplankton are based on themself, not other games, otherwise all scores are reduced by 3)
Electroplankton Hanenbow - The best of the group, some actual replay; 6/10
E-Sun Animalcule - Useless; 2/10
E-Rec Rec - It's called DSi Sound; 1/10
E-Lumiloop - There's almost no sound, requires headphones for a truly nice listening experience, but once you do it's so relaxing it's almost top of the crop of Electroplankton; 5/10
E-Beatness - Great fun, it feels like a genuine mini-game; 5/10
BASE 10 - It really makes you think. I have a love-hate relationship with it.. sometimes it's fun, sometimes I want to bite my DSi until it short circuits on my tongue, and that's why I love it; 8/10
Pop Island - Graphics comparable to the best retail games at a stunning FPS, great replay value, but your thumbs hurt after a bit of playing; 7.5/10
MVSDK - Nice cel-shaded graphics, bunches of levels, level editor, level downloader and sharer? Hit me up on that; 8/10
Sudoku Student - Nicely done, clean, but a bit plain and it's really only for the beginner, anyone that even understands the concept of Sudoku should pass; 5/10
YYCJ - Against NL's review, I found this to be great fun with some very nice graphics and great replayability; 7.5/10
Dragon Quest Wars - Not good. Online play isn't executed well (on the subject, even solo play isn't executed well), no variety of monsters aside from the 6 that are playable from the beginning and get very boring; 4/10
Pop+Solo - Graphics mark it down, because bubbles aren't hard to do. It's very much a game only for those that want all DSiWare possible, or really like 30 "pop"s coming out the speaker every second; 4/10
myNotebook - It takes notes; 6/10

My downloaded DSi stuff:
Nintendo DSi Browser - I don't use it too much but it serves its purpose. 7/10
Flipnote Studio - I have only made a handful of things, but really cool! 9/10
Pinball Pulse The Ancients Beckon - Wish there was more than one table, but a sweet game of pinball! 8/10
Dr. Mario Express - Fun as it ever was. 8/10
Bird & Beans - Not much to it but fun nonetheless. 8/10
Pro-Putt Domo - Glad I got this one, its fun. 8/10
Castle of Magic - I love platformers, this one is no different. 9/10
Spotto! - Addicted to it! 9/10
Foto Face: The Face Stealer Strikes - Haven't played it yet.
I'll give my collection an 8/10

Nintendo DSi Browser - Couldn't ask for more. (Maybe speed.) 9/10
Flipnote Studio - Very cool. Always thought the DS should have a drawing app, and animation just makes it that much better. 9/10
Art Style: AQUIA - Interesting and fairly unique. Very nice presentation. 7/10
Art Style: BASE 10 - Way more fun than at first appearance. Requires practice and concentration, and gets very addictive. 9/10
Art Style: BOXLIFE - Fun and challenging. Takes a bit to wrap your head around it, but that's what R&D mode is for. 8/10
Art Style: DIGIDRIVE - My favourite in the Art Style games. Complete, addictive, lasting, catchy. 9/10
Art Style: PiCTOBiTS - Really hard, but quite fun. I really like the retro theme and NES music remixes. 8/10
Chronos Twin - It's a full retail retro-ish platformer! The parallel time mechanic is pretty cool. 8/10
Escapee Go! - A nice little title well worth 200 points. 8/10
Glow Artisan - Interesting puzzle game which never ends, with its own level creator. Talk about bang for your buck! 9/10
Fieldrunners - Classic tower defense on the go. 7/10
Mighty Flip Champs! - A basic platformer made great by its page-flipping mechanic. Solid gameplay and presentation. 8/10
Number Battle - Full retail strategy game based on feng shui and numbers. It's all about deception and tactics. 9/10
Pop+ Solo - Doesn't really float my boat. Seems lengthy, but there's not much variety. 5/10
Pop Island - Hardcore capture the flag game with cutesy appeal. Lots of variety, though single player gets repetitive. So fun multiplayer though. 8/10
Spotto! - Really worth the 200 points. Well presented, varied and lengthy enough. 8/10
Starship Defense - Unique and creative tower defense game with some real challenges and great presentation. 8/10
Trajectile - One of my favourites. It's like Puzzle Bobble (which I love), but is more of a thinking man's game. Lots of variety and challenge. 9/10

Overall: Really satisfied, and looking forward to the coming weeks' releases! 8/10

And did anyone else notice that there's a weird bug in Pop+ Solo's Chill Mode? I get to stage 3 or so and less and less bubbles appear. Eventually I'm popping 5 or 6 bubbles, and no more appear until I pop them all or they go offscreen. Eventually NO bubbles turn up and it's just me listening to the music. Which is relaxing, but very odd. I have to just quit after that.

Re: Pop+ Solo

I've been at least a few levels into chill mode and have never noticed number of bubbles reducing. Maybe it runs out of bubbles if you're not doing combos or keep missing?

I just updated my list with the four titles I've bought this week, so read them if you want to.

My Collection:

Mighty Flip Champs: 10/10
I've gotten so much playtime out of this, and it's perfect to just pick up, try a maze or two if I have a few minutes, then put back down again. Really makes you think.

Mario vs. DK: Minis March Again: 10/10
Basically I like the same things about this as MFC. I can't believe that there is so much content on a DSiWare release.

Art Style: Pictobits: 10/10
This game is so addictive. I love figuring out what the pictures will be. I'm on the last dark level, and it's killing me!

Pinball Pulse: The Ancients Beckon: 8/10
Perfectly executed Pinball game, lots of fun. For 5 dollars I feel it should have more than one table though.

Aura-Aura Climber: 9/10
I just got this, so the rating may change. This is a fun little game for 200 points though.

AiRace: 9/10
I haven't played this much either yet. Much more than what I would expect for 200 points (at least on a Nintendo console).

Browser: 5/10
Useless really, unless I have to type in a password to access the wireless network to use the shop channel (which I do at school here). For portable browsing, the itouch/iphone is just so much better.

Flipnote Studio: 10/10
I wish there were more colors to use, but otherwise there is so much here for a free app. Not much of an artist, but it's fun to goof around with if I'm bored.

I really only download games I know I'm going to love and get a lot of playtime out of. I do want to get some more Art Style games, and perhaps some genres I haven't really played much of. DSiWare is a great way to try new things for cheap. However, I want to try to beat what I have before I buy more points, since I'm pretty broke right now.

MvsDK3 - 6/10
I was addicted to March of the Mini's where you had control over the mini's and also the level editor for that cartridge version was so much more fun to mess around with because you could control the minis. I played March of the Minis for about 1 full year creating levels and starting clubs online etc.. but the DSiWare version was a big let down. I played that one about 2 weeks and then put it down.

Pinball Pulse: The Ancient Beckons 10/10
10 because I have poured over 100 hours into it. I just got 93million points and feel like I will never be able to top that.. So I "might" take a break from it... probably not. For those who think its not your cup of tea, realize that there are so many intricate gameplay elements implemented and the board is very thought out. It also has taught me about Greek mythology a bit.

Flipnote Studio 8/10
Im not into it as much as I could be. What I like about it is that I can go to Draw mode and let my 2 year old toddler play with it. Keeps him busy for about 15 minutes a day.

Thorium Wars- 9/10 Awesome graphics and replay value. Gameplay is great, too.
Mario vs. DK MMA- 9/10 Addicting gameplay and great value for its price.
Asphalt 4- 7/10 Fun but gets old and repetitive.
Dragon Quest Wars- 6/10 Fun but a lack of a single player campaign is a big turnoff.
Art Style- PiCTOBiTS- 6/10 Fun but gets WAY too hard.
Dark Void Zero- 7/10 Difficulty is unforgiving. Still pretty fun to play, though.
Army Defender- 8/10 Addicting and great for picking-up-n-playing.
Escapee GO!- 8/10 Fun game for the price, though later story levels can get frustrating.
Bird & Beans- 7/10 Two fun games for a buck each= instant win
Paper Airplane- 6/10 Another fun but repetitive game.
Electroplankton: Hannenbow- 5/10 Meh.

Updated List:
Glow Artisan- 7/10 Can be fun at times, though the puzzle editor is just too complicated if you're trying to get certain picture.
Spotto!- 8/10 Another fun time waster. Loads of content for just 2 bucks.
Starship Defense- 8/10 Tons of content for its price, and some cool concepts in the Tower genre. A bit difficult though.
Flipper- 8/10 Very fun and you can solve each level multiple ways, which replay value. The reason it doesn't get a 9 though is because the touch controls can be a little off.

Army Denfender- (6/10), After around 15- 20 mins of play it gets boring.....
Asphalt 4: Elite Racing- (7/10), Still enjoy a quick race every now and again.
Bomberman Blitz-(8/10), Intense Wifi 4 player matches, even with a room filled with noobs.
Bookworm-(7/10) Good time waster. Gotta crazy high score going.
Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters-(8/10), Makes me feel smart. The Dr. Mario mock game is fun too.
Castle Of Magic-(5/10) Nothing stands out about this one. To easy.
Dark Void Zero- (7/10) Good game. Kinda on the short side. Challenging.
Dragon Quest Wars-(8/10) Still enjoy Wifi matches with this one. Good graphics too.
Escapee Go-(7/10) Short campaign. Lot of replay value with survival mode.
Flight Control-(8/10) Fun in short burst. Still trying to land over 300 planes on any of the first 3 airports.
Flippper-(5/10) Good Game. Wish their was more of it.
Flipnote Studio-( Not yet played.) Its Free.
Mario Clock-(6/10) Does what its suppose to do. Mini game is o.k.
Mario Vs. DK- (7/10) Not really into puzzlers, however this one is fun.
My Notebook-(7/10) Useful.
DSi Browser-(8/10) It would be nice if it had a few extra features, but its free.
Number Battle- (Not yet played). Nobody had anything really bad to say about this one.
Pop Island-(8/10) Download and play really makes this a stand out title.
Pop+ Solo-(7/10) Another "fun in short burst" type of game.
Rayman-(9/10) This is my first ever Rayman title and im really enjoying it. Struggling a little, but im getting through it.
StarShip Defense-(9/10) The first tower defense game that made me say WOW. A lot of fun.
E.A. Sudoku- (8/10) With 5 different skill levels for only 200 points, if your a fan, its hard to go wrong with this one.
The Oregon Trail-(7/10) Enjoyed almost all the mini games in this one. To easy.
Touch Solitaire-(5/10) Not a fan of Solitaire, but it only takes up 5 blocks of space.
VT Tennis-(6/10) Big tennis fan so I had to pick this one up. Touch screen controls work well except on hard mode. Nothing fancy about this one. Just a very playable tennis game.

Edit: @Waltz
Your thread topic Instantly made me think of this one and how I never got around to posting yet.
thanks for the reminder

Edit 2: The only reason why Rayman doesnt get a (10/10) is because I know eventually I will get 100% completion on that one. Then I wont have a reason to play it anymore.
That also goes for Starship too....
