Wow, great thread noname2200! I was going to start one like this myself, but never got around to it. Here are my WiiWare reviews. Some would say they're short, but I prefer concise.

Block Breaker Deluxe
4/10 - You got your mobile phone game in my WiiWare. Also, the music in this game sounds like porn music. The gameplay was a little unbalanced towards the end too. For most of the game, you're playing an Arkanoid clone. However, at the end, you can get into this underground club where they throw a pong clone with SUPER pong AI at you. Nasty.

Dr. Mario Online RX
6/10 - VERY pick up and play, but nothing to keep me playing. I haven't played Germ Buster and I've only played the game twice. I found sparse levels to be too easy and anything more populated than that to be too hard. I haven't played it much, so I'm not sure if there's a story mode, but something like that might have been appreciated to ease me into the harder levels.

Lost Winds

6/10 - So far, it hasn't managed to get me hooked. The puzzles are neat, and very organic. Apparently it's short (I wouldn't know). The main character is cute, and the presentation is definitely up there.

Pirates: The Key of Dreams
2/10 - DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. It gets > 1/10 because its presentation is not exactly poo.

Star Soldier R
8/10 - I keep coming back to this, and I keep rating it higher and higher. I started off thinking you were a ship, shooting enemies and dodging bullets. Now I think of it more as a sweet space ballet. The game is ultimately about getting your timing right and finding the best possible path to deliver the ultimate performance. There's only one level in it, but what a level! It's crazy how such a "short" game can have so much depth. I'm #7 in Australia on two minute mode.

Toki Tori
7/10 - My second most played WiiWare game. This game has puzzles that have lasted me several gaming sessions. I'm still nowhere near finishing it, but I'm loving every bit of it. The game combines a restricted set of mechanics on each level with gravity/enemies/pits and other effects. If you liked Lode Runner for the puzzles (and not so much the action), you'll like this.

TV Show King
6/10 - Great multiplayer fun. This is strictly a multiplayer title though. The single player mode sucks.

Wild West Guns
7/10 - This is like the third best game compatible with the Wii Zapper IMHO. What you get is a no nosense series of light gun shooting galleries set in NA's old west. All of the games feature a consecutive hit combo mechanic that can give a seasoned light gun professional ridiculous scores. One of the more positive aspects of the game is its achievements system. I hope Gameloft include this with more of their WiiWare titles. One negative was the repeated use of some shooting games in later levels. I'd have appreciated more games instead!

Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People
8/10 - I haven't played the WiiWare version of this all the way through. It came out later in Europe/Australia than in the US, so I bought the PC version... then the WiiWare version just to support it. This is an adventure game for beginners. The puzzles are a little too straightforward, but for the most part, the humour's spot on. One grating thing was the reuse of jokes from the flash animations. Extended play is a great addition in lieu of genuine replayability. I can't stress how accessible they've made this game. You don't need to know much about Homestar Runner. You don't need to be a professional pixel hunter. And even if you don't like the main story, there are minigames to play.

My Aquarium
3/10 - Call me a cretin, but I expected a game here :(. I speak from personal experience when I say that if you're not a fish person, My Aquarium isn't going to change you. It's your very own electronic fish tank with very little in the way of player interaction. You choose the fish, the background and props, and then just let it go! You can feed the fish, and there's not much more to say. The music was okay too. The concept failed as far as I'm concerned though.
