    It didn't make the cut. Not enough people voted for it to be involved in the GOTW poll.

    I think pong is a better game than the last of us, and yes, I think TG is better than BH2 as well.

    Simple is better, sometimes.

    Yes, you do.

    Luminetic Land was free to try, though, so you can't really blame that. I tried it and Tiny Goalie, but I enjoyed TG more.

    It sure doesn't help games like Tengami and Coldfire Keep, which is a mess anyways so never mind, but Calculords isn't winning and it's far and away the best free, well mostly free, title this week so go figure.

    That's an opinion.
    Personally I hated calculords.
    I had to force myself to even get through the tutorial.
    If the tutorial is that bad, I had little hope for the game.

    There's no accounting for taste.

    Taste is relative as well, but I have a feeling most of our taste isn't too far apart.
    I didn't notice your nominations here in the thread. What would they have been!, had you have posted them?

    My noms:
    Besides Flappy3D (which I stand by, as being an awesome game), my picks were all close to universally acclaimed as being great games.

    The problem I have with this weekly routine is that generally most participants have only tried one or two of the games. that means it's more of a virtual popularity contest than anything. I buy and try more games than most, but inevitably, there's always at least one game each week that gets by me that would have been in my gotw noms, had I tried it.

    In order for it to be more accurate, all participants would need to have played all of the nominees.
    That isn't possible, I know.

    Don't get me wrong, I love the gotw threads...That s why I participate every week.

    I didn't nominate anything, why that would matter is absolutly stupid, but it looks like pretty much every game released, that I know off, made the list anyway. I voted for Calculords because I haven't yet played Tengami, Coldfire Keep is basically a mess, I spent this week playing Machinarium anyway and all the other games on the list look so beyond awful, or are so beyond awful, that I won't even bother with them.

    I actually think Doomdarks is the most interesting game this week but it's kinda cheap for a port to win... R-type II.

    *after playing more Calculords it seems to be turning into a crap grind fest, hopefully I'm gravely mistaken. Which leaves Tengami as the only interesting, non-port, game and I've yet to it.
