    Yes, i was a bit saddened that they removed the create a level and all the different cars, but the fact that you can "draw" your own car and race people's ghost more then makes up for it IMO. But they really seem to have improved with the levels creativity and style.

    And I think you should choose Wild Frontier anyways.
    Because it came out of f*cking nowhere and outshined every other 2D RPG in the App Store.

    I know its too early. The point is to create a list for a GOTM poll, we can add to the list for games that come out this week. This is also a good way for people to find the newest games to check out.

    Here is the edited list to reflect everyone's feedback. Speak your mind on what games should make the top 9. I really don't think Battleheart or Wild Frontier should be eligible, but if enough people think they should we will include them.

    1. NBA Jam
    2. Starfront: Collision
    3. Sacred Odyssey: Rise of Ayden
    4. League of Evil
    5. The Blocks Cometh
    6. Jelly Car 3
    7. Karoshi
    8. Bugs Wars
    9. Cows vs Aliens


    10. Devil May Cry 4: Refrain
    11. Infinight
    12. Ready Action
    13. New Bust-a-Move
    14. Volcano Escape

    Edit: I will track votes for games to be put in and out of the top 9.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinions haha. Could you tell me why you don't like it though? I'm probably the biggest advocate of the game on TA atm so I'd like to know, and maybe I'll be able to address some of those reasons.

    Based in the options listed by OP, and up to this point, I'd say NBA Jam.

    You know there is another way to do these game of the moths poll which might be a lil more effective than this one. Right now we have to limit it to 10 entries max (thanks to forum poll limit) and sometimes there are more games which are worth including in the list. Also you get to choose just one game as your fav. Or if you use multiple choice you can chose more but still you can rank it only absolutely. ie either yes or no. Nothing in between.

    How about using something we already have in place. The appinfo ratings. like this one (click on the number linked below "Average User Rating" to see all the votes)..

    Not too many are using this feature but this is the best way to rate games on TA forums. Just make a list of all the notable games of the month and link the thread with them. People can rate whatever they like without even needing to wait for GOTM thread. We can weigh their ratings based on the stars they decide to give it. They also have the option to change their ratings in case the game doesnt turn out as good/bad as they originally thought. Plus this data will stay with the app forever and will help non members / new members to find out forum ratings without needing to go through the whole thread just to find out how many people like/dislike a particular game.

    Any thoughts?

    This + a million! Seriously everyone do yourselves a favour and get this fame. It is easily as addictive as canabalt, monster dash and hook worlds and The art is awesome even without retina (trust me, it's that good) I cant recommend this game enough, just go to it's thread and take a look.

    Good point IMNS, but sadly this feature is usually overlooked.

    Anyway I retract my words on Karoshi being GOTM. It has been superseded 3 days ago by Tiny Wings.

    Now why would you want to go and ruin a perfectly unnecessary and overly-complicated process!? :mad:

    Tiny Wings!

    Still a good chance I will change my vote in the next week if Mission Europa or something else on my "anticipating" list comes out...
