    The winners of last week's Game of the Week poll are in...

    First Place: Traps ‘N Gemstones (19 votes)
    Second Place: Poptile (5 votes)
    Third Place: Modern Combat 5: Blackout (3 votes)

    Last week's GOTW thread:
    http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=237624


    The first part is nomination where every member can vote up to 5 games to be included in the poll. Releases active before Saturday are eligible (even if they aren't listed in this original post), weekend releases can be nominated the following poll. 10 games with the most nominations will then be added to the poll on Sunday. Poll will remain open until next Wednesday and whichever game has the max votes, will be Touch Arcade forum's Game of the Week.

    Please note:
    1) Developers, publishing partners, or affiliates cannot vote for their own games. If your game is in the poll, you can't vote for it. 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 with some activity. If you have to ask someone to create a new account to vote, you're doing it wrong.
    3) Suspect votes may be void.
    4) Game updates, no matter how significant are not eligible for GOTW. There are enough new games to nominate that haven't been considered before.


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


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

    I also bought Angels in the Sky, Ice Wings Plus, Pinta Loves Balloons, and Why Does It Spin?, but I liked the above titles a little more.

    I think the issue has already been settled that game updates should NOT be considered for Game of the Week (circa Sonic the Hedgehog remaster).

    Super Crossfighter is a re-release of a pre-existing game due to a change in publishers and with some seemingly minor changes. What is a consensus on eligibility for Game of the Week consideration? I didn't yet include in in the original post because I assumed it had already been considered during it's initial release and a preference to reserve GOTW for new releases. Is there reason to see Super Crossfighter as an exception or to entirely change the rule? At a glance I say no, but need feedback/opinions and will go with whatever concensus.

    For what it's worth here is the change log for Super Crossfire being re-released as Super Crossfighter...

    It may have some technical flaws in the menus but the game itself is great.

    When did Family Feud come out? I don't see anything this week on Appshopper... otherwise it totally would be eligible.

    Added Family Feud 2 to the original post, it is eligible. I'm surprised there doesn't seem to be a Touch Arcade thread for it so created one.

    It wasn't even in the front page round-up, so I just figured it's not a TA-style game. Subscribed to the new thread so you guys have direct access to the team!
