    PLEASE READ BELOW!

    Another great turnout. :)We saw our first tie ever "Soul Calibur" and "Puzzlejuice" sharing the winner's spot with 24 votes apiece! "Jazz: Trump's Journey" came 2nd with 10 votes, and "Star Warfare" came 3rd with 9 votes. Congrats to all the entrants!

    First part is nomination where every member can vote up to 5 games to be included in the poll. 10 games with the most nominations will be added to the poll on Saturday. Poll will remain open until next Wednesday and whichever game has the max votes, will be the GOTW.

    Please note:

    1) Devs cannot vote for their own games. If your game is in the poll, you can't vote. You are free to ask TA forum posters in your game release thread to vote for your game... but please don't post multiple messages about it.
    2) This voting is for TA members - no outsiders allowed. You cannot bring outsiders to join simply to vote and increase your ranking in this thread.


    Notice of this poll will be given in the threads of all nominated games.

    Additional games that spring up in the next few days will be added to the OP, so no worries. Please wait until Thursday to begin giving nominations - this is so that we can get the majority of games listed before making decisions. Feel free to help out and list games I haven't added yet. I'll post the pending NZ releases to alert the community to them.

    You can see new games by looking at AppShopper.com and checking the "New" tab.

    Please feel free to list any new games I might have missed. Just be sure to note them as additions to the list, as opposed to nominations. :)

    Just for the record, puzzlejuice won. I was gonna vote last night, but the poll was closed. If it was open, PJ would have won

    Poll closed way to early, even before the new releases arrived to the US shores... and the maker of this poll could also vote, not close the poll when he wants... i recommend adding a deadline in the first post telling us when it will close to avoid more confusion, because PJ was going to win... maybe arta is manupulating? dont know, but isnt fair

    And my nomination goes to Paper Monsters and Zombie Bunnies

    It's too early for me to nominate anything. I just want to make sure Cal of Cthulu makes it to the poll. It'll really suck if that game misses this week's poll and then doesn't qualify for next weeks.

    *I forget when the nominations stop, but Cthulu won't be coming out until Monday.

    Also, the poll tells you when it will close!

    And why can't Arta vote? He's a member like the rest of us and not a dev. He just makes the poll.

    Add Zombie: The Rescue, which is good,
    And the jury is still out on My Little Monster

    +1 Call of Cthulhu looks like a major contender.

    Why do thread links not work properly in the GOTW thread?

    Added Speed Blazers and fixed links in the thread. :)
    The idea is to have a definitive count of all the votes by Wednesday. That way I can end the thread cleanly without people arguing about the vote count after the fact. Also, I need final figures to make a report in the new week's thread. Best way to do that is to set a poll that ends on Wednesday, giving everyone time to vote (and on days when I forget to set the poll, I take a screenshot). I always give a couple hours warning as to when I'm counting up the votes, and there's no way anyone could have anticipated a tie in the votes by the time the poll automatically expired. :)

    As for my participation in the nominations and voting in the poll, if there are games I absolutely love then yeah, I nominate them no matter what. But usually I tend to hold off and save them for tiebreakers (like for instance if there are a few games that got 3 nominations for the 10th entry). In that case I nominate to break the tie. As for voting, I do vote.

    As for your suggestion for a deadline reminder, there's always been one in the OP with the poll closing on Wednesday. And the poll will always be counted and closed before new releases show up in the U.S. (11pm), cause it counts releases showing up around the world. Besides, if I waited till 11pm Wednesday to close the old poll and start the new one, I wouldn't be finished till Thursday. ;)

    Hey, you didn't add Khet. So far the people that have gotten are enjoying it, including myself. TBH, it could easily be a nomination for this week.

    It should qualify for next week's poll (Sat-Fri). Post it in this thread so that I get the reminder: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=118476

    Back to nominations...

    Dungeon Crawler and Speed Blazer

    Why was there so much hype for Paper monsters, sure it looks pretty but I agree with all the reviews that its unremarkable and basic, nothing special. They hype makes it look like the next Mario.
    Probably will still win GOTW anyway.
