    Well, Jetpack Joyride may have pulled off quite a miracle if it had gotten just 9 more votes yesterday.

    I'm surprised that Dead Space and GTA3 got as few votes as it did

    Watch someone say, "just because a game u didn't pick won?" But no, it's because the polls seem to have been steered from day1. Only about 3 people actually came out and said "I voted for Junk Jack". This particular poll is not 'fun', it's a means of promotion, IMO. The 'fun' was lost when the poll opened for cheating (which seems suspiciously intentional if u take close look at the comments).

    I know I said I was done with the topic earlier but I couldn't resist. Back to my mission, peace.

    Most disappointed in the votes MC3 got. It deserves more. Maybe it has flaws, but it's most FUN FUN FUN with the best multiplayer for iOS

    Multiplayer should not hold up a game on it's own, especially so since iOS is primarily single-player based.

    MC3 offline is not that good, and there are other games on that list that provide a much, much better single player experience.

    Besides, there are many more people here that don't engage in multiplayer at all.

    Can't say I'm surprised that much, to be honest.

    True, but none of the other games even HAVE multiplayer. And if the multiplayer in one game is more fun than the single player in another, I see it probly as a better game, tbh.
    -Also: with MC3 you don't pay $7 for just the single player. Sorry, that's plain not true. If you buy MC3, you WILL play the multiplayer.

    Multiplayer does not interest me, and I know I will not be the only one.

    MC3 is not marketed as primarily a multiplayer game, so for these purposes I treat it as a single player game with strong multiplayer added on. Which doesn't raise it much above the other titles in the poll.

    If we are gonna argue about a game not getting enough votes, than let's argue about Anomaly Warzone Earth....

    I didn't mean MC3 needed to win, but those votes weren't enough imo. And yes, Anomaly wasn't the game I expected to have least amount of votes.

    This reminds me of last years poll where Plants vs Zombies had the second least amount of votes.

    The thing with Anomaly Warzone Earth is, that though it is great, it isn't really the best, so I guess that's why most people voted for something else.

    Haha, Junk Jack appears to be in first.
    I wasn't expecting that!

    Congratulations Junk Jack

    Way to go Junk Jack. I voted for it because I actually got more fun out of it personally than the others.

    Despite all the haters, very glad to see Junk Jack about to win. This game needs lots more attention and sales so they can iron out the last of the bugs and expand it like crazy. :)

    Woohoo and all that.

    Congrats Junk Jack! :) Even though I didn't vote for it, it definitely deserves a pat on the back.

    I might have to look into Junk Jack, considering it won!

    Jetpack Joyride in 2nd place is extremely underwhelming, IMHO.

    There's a Lite. It's worth looking in to but I wouldn't take the poll too seriously, tbh.

    Some posts seem to have been modded out of this thread. :rolleyes:
