I suggest you to try Gweled, you will see that it seems overall superior to Battle Gweled (see that you have a typo in your blog). Maybe I prefer it over BG because of the sound and music, but also the animations seem a bit smoother. Anyway, I don't know what's the reason for having two absolutely identical games and why them don't merge.

I got sick and tired of not being able to know what any of the games in the maemo.org repositories are like, so I started downloading and reviewing them.

It would get you a bit more exposure and get the community a better games list.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

Way too much of your personal option is affecting the scores; and reviews are not fair.
Like for example, you said that BurgerSpace has 8bit graphics and terrible sound. Its a NES game knock off (see BurgerTime) so naturally its 8bit. Personaly I dont see how the graphics and sound affect this type of game.
I understand your aiming for Rating games based on the n900 gaming experance, But honestly if your going to rate the games on that fact alone, rate them on that only and dont deduct points from them for poor devolpment when the orginal game has not been remade JUST for the N900. For example try rating the controls, because as we all know that is the major short coming of most games we have for the N900 (unless of corse your using a Sixaxis or Wiimote) . Im not trying to be rude just my opinion.
You should do a review of the emulators, and rate the performance as well.

Will this get any better exposure though?
Shouldn't we make a dedicated game list thread? Or maybe just sticky this one?
Forum rules is not a very inviting topic, and putting the reviews under the forum rules section might give the wrong idea, that these reviews are somehow an official review..
If you sticky this thread, or make a new thread dedicated to a game list, it won't be "out there" anymore.

But, yes, it's not perfect, I'm the only one doing this and I'm not a professional reviewer.
At the end of the day I rate the general experience.. Graphics are a part of that. There are pretty 8 bit graphics by the way, I've got no problem with nes and snes games, but take a look at chrono trigger, and take a look at this thing...
Oh and I do rate the control, I call it compatibility.
And burger space is pretty bad.. Unless you like this kind of stuff..

Good work.
My recommendations:
1. Mark whether games are in devel/testing/public or in a non-maemo.org repo.
2. If items are work in progress please mention this
3. Change the blog language from hebrew to english!
4. Maybe even include apps?
You could restructure the site to have a top 10 list of games?
Otherwise a great idea

I got sick and tired of not being able to know what any of the games in the maemo.org repositories are like, so I started downloading and reviewing them.
Small games get mini reviews, and bigger, more PC like, games, get regular reviews.
So far there are big reviews for:
# Numpty physics (Sort of)
# The battle for wesnoth
# Angry birds
# The Ur Quan Masters
And mini reviews for:
# Crazy cat
# Colorcode
# ******** Bingo
# Battle Jeweled
# Burger space
# 100boxes
And I keep making more every day.
I'll keep this updated.
If you've ever wondered what any of those games are, might want to check it out.
