Game: Geometry Wars: Galaxies - By Tetsuo
"Attaining bronze medals on each is usually simple enough, and on a particularly good run, silver becomes more achievable. But getting gold medals requires a concentrated period of attack, skill and a dash of luck."

Game: Tokyo Beat Down - By Tetsuo
"The basic foundations and rules laid out by the genre are almost totally ignored, and it ends up crippling the game. For example, there is a jump, but no ability to jump and kick or punch at the same time for mid-air antics."

Game: Oto wo Tsunagou! Gunpey Reverse - By Tetsuo
"Tetsuya Mizuguchi and his team have essentially just given the WonderSwan favourite a new pair of shoes some eight years later, but they again strengthen their reputation here as one of the most perceptive puzzle-game developers around."

Game: Ketsui: Death Label - By Tetsuo
"Emerging from an impossible situation feels pleasing, miraculous sometimes, and there's a tangible buzz when tackling a sequence of attacks in just the way your mind had planned. This is zonal gaming, one which rewards positioning and reflex and the thrill of destroying enemies against all odds."

Game: Tsuukin Hitofude - By Tetsuo
"Tsuukin Hitofude charms despite its simplicity, and successfully positions itself as one of the best amongst the many excellent puzzle games already offered on the GBA."

Game: Shunkan Puzz Loop - By Tetsuo
"Puzzloop's difficulty only serves to taunt and encourage perfection, especially when striving for those bronze, silver and gold awards in the Quest mode."

Game: Diddy Kong Racing DS - By Tetsuo
"It's not a fully convincing reinvention, and equally it's changed too much to feel like a reassuring old friend. Ironically, most of what the developers have tried to add to the game subtracts from the overall enjoyment."
