TA Forums Game of the Week! (May 9)

[Echoseven]

The results from last week are finally here! First place goes to "THE KING OF FIGHTERS-i 2012" with 26 votes. The well-deserved second is awarded to "Gene Effect" with a solid 20 votes and the third place winner is "LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7", with 11 votes. Congratulations to all the winners!

The 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 then 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.

Alrighty, I updated the thread with the major releases from Wednesday, winners from last week and some behind-the-scenes forum stuff.

For those interested, My Little Hero got •••Spoiler:  8 (eight!) votes.


The poll for this week will be going up tomorrow, get more nominations in, folks.



Also, I had messages from/with the moderators about IP addresses and the like, and I've decided that from now on (since I haven't been doing the threads that long) anyone we catch trying to circumvent the rules (the TWO that there are) in a major* way will have the game disqualified. Now I know the developers that will try this won't read my post, but I'm giving notice to the regulars anyway.

* voting for your own game isn't considered major. It's okay. I'm not trying to be an a**hole here.


Checking this stuff out is really time-consuming, but it's always easy to tell. Here's hoping to not have to do it again.
