    Several excellent choices this week, but Kale's got my vote. :)

    Although I like another game more in terms of gameplay, my vote goes to INVADER HUNTER.
    For a game that was developed by just one or two persons, this is a major archievement for the iOS and the first iOS game with a real Monster Hunter feeling.

    I decided to just ignore the $8 price tag and buy zombies, run. It isn't really that much of a game, but a running app. It motivates me to go out and get some exercise so I give it my support.
     
  4. If GA8 was on that poll, I'd have voted for it. Had to vote for Incoboto.

    Wow, not too sure what I'll vote for... Was a great week! Right now Waking Mars will most likely get my vote... But I wanna put more time into Kale, Fancy Pants and Incoboto before I fully make up my mind. =oP

    I really wanted to vote for Invader Hunter, but the UI needs to be snappier and the controls tweaked a bit to become truly fun. I voted for Tobe.

    Yeah, I agree! I'm also voting for it because it has ridiculously good animation for a 3D game, and there's a ton of customization. And at the end of the day, it's just fun.

    It was still hard to choose because Tobe is flat out addicting and offers quite a bit of variety. And Kale in Dinoland is just an excellent platformer! Nuff said.

    Nominees:

    1. Incoboto - Because Helios is so damn cute that I would snuggle her the hole Day, even if it would burn me.
    2. Waking Mars - Would have got the first Place if I wouldn´t have falling in love with Incoboto from the first Moment while it did took in Waking Mars a little longer then I had though it.
    3. Kale in Dinoland - 100% pur Retro. I love it.

    Most underrated Game this Week:

    Zombie Panic in Wonderland Plus - Still don`t understand why no one seem to like the Game as much as I do. Might be the iAP or something else but the Game seem to run below every Radar I know so far.

    Most overrated Game this Week:

    Zombies, Run! - I bough it, I used it - Sorry but WTF did I payed $7.99 for again?

    WTF Moment of this Week:

    Barbarian - The Death Sword - Second Round, the Moment when my Head was chopped off and I literally couldn`t do nothing against it - WTF?

    I was turned off by the IAP. The first level was pretty awesome, but I didn't like the payment setup. Plus, there were a ton of good releases this week, so I just said F it and deleted.

    Haha! Maybe they can change it. I don't think the rules said anything about votes being final. ;)

    Tobe was actually my number 1 nomination, but I had to give my vote to Invader Hunter.

    Incoboto for me, but I haven't tried most of the rest (only AAaaAA...) so really it's kind of silly, but I do really love Incoboto.

    Really wish I had an iPad for Incoboto. I voted for Fancy Pants cause its fun factor is higher for me than Waking Mars.

    Incoboto is doing quite well for an iPad-only game.

    For second :)

    I thnk waking mars should win this one.... Although I haven't played incoboto or fancy Pants yet.

    Just out of curiosity how many times has the game of the week on the app store and the game of the week here been the same?

    AaaaaaaAaa was a huge let down IMo... Too bad

    In 2011, 16 out of 25 TAGOTW are also Apples GOTW (either iPhone or iPad).
    So far for 2012 (January-February), 4 out of 9 are also Apple GOTW.
    But then most of Apple's pick for GOTW that is not TAGOTW are usually in runner ups.
    Note: If Waking Mars wins this week, it is also Apple's choice for iPad GOTW.

    Incoboto got my vote...

    took a lot of thinking (doesn't happen too often with GOTW votes for me....)

    and when it came down to it... it was the writing for each game (Incoboto vs. Waking Mars) that decided the winner in my mind. While Waking Mars does have some decent back n forth dialogue between the two characters, and even with Laing and ART... the humor in Incoboto, and the way it's presented, through the computers, and dead characters, along with the super cute sun... totally clicked with me in a way no other iOS game has.

    So... yup... Inco got my vote. Though I think there's quite a few games in the list that are deserving... so it won't surprise me no matter who wins. =oD
