Time to announce the Winner

The judging is made up from 5 Judges, 3 are Coders (Inc Fanjita), Me Wraggster and one Wild card judge, the judging gives marks out of 10 and they are added up, then the winner is chosen.

Heres what our Special Guest Judge Fanjita said about the releases

OK, here goes. I've based my judgements on the following criteria, mainly:
technical achievement
originality
fun/wow factor
completeness and presentation

Quake 2
A great achievement by McZonk, this has come along a long way since the early alpha release that I saw.

This sets the standard for future 3D FPS homebrew for the PSP.
Overall score: 8

Ceres
A nice faithful asteroids clone, and the addition of a back-story helped with the professional appearance.

My only gripe was that there didn't seem to be a lot of difference from the previous version.
Overall score: 7

Tower Toppler
A fun, cartoony port with great presentation and a novel approach to platforming.

I found it difficult to get to grips with the controls, though.
Overall score: 6

PSP Cloth
I've always had a soft spot for small tech demos, and this is a great little demo of realistic cloth simulation. It's effects like this that add the finishing touch to professional games.
Overall score: 5

KETM
A nicely polished port of this fun shooter. With the ability to add new mods, this should have lasting appeal.
Overall score: 7

Missile Command
An update of the existing Duck Shoot LUA game, I enjoyed the missile-command style of play. The addition of downloadable cheats over wifi was a cool addition.
Overall score: 6

GALPSP
This wasn't really my kind of game, but I can see how it would appeal to fans of the genre. The library has obviously been well put together, and there's potential for some great games to come from this in the future.
Overall score: 7

Iris
A very nice achievement considering that this is original code and not a port. There are some small visual glitches that give away the beta status, but overall there's enormous potential in this game. Support for v2.0 is also a bonus.
Overall score: 9

PSP-OSS
At first glance, this is "yet another shell", but it becomes obvious that it's an extremely-well put together one. The skins are slick, the function is broad and well-implemented, and the effortless EBOOT launcher / HOME button handler hides some hard-core code.
Overall score: 9

Heres the scores:

Quake 2 Port by McZonk 42,
Ceres Version 1.2 (1.1a) By Po-Han Lin 28.5,
GALPSP By Karurosu 25,
