    Why don't you post in its thread? There's not a single impression there.

    To be honest, I don't know why
    I think most of the people in here are sick of endless runners and Temple Run clones and it won't get more nominations even if I post some impressions. And there are only tilt controls, that's another thing a lot of people don't like.

    Haven't tried it yet, but I'll give it a download and check it out. Crazy Boss was horrible IMO so it's got to be better than that.

    It is way better than Crazy Boss! It's even better than Temple Run and on the same level like Agent Dash or Subway Surfers imo. But with tilt controls, that's the problem for most people.

    Added Square Planet and Angry Gran Run to my noms.

    Square Planet is a pretty fun platformer even with the tilt controls that aren't generally great in the genre.

    As another behind-the-back runner, Angry Gran Run doesn't bring much new but controls are spot on and make it worthy of a nom, even though it probably won't be my GoTW.

    If Trauma Ted had another control method besides tilt it would actually be okay. Very well spotted.
     
  14. No, not really, usually every week, there are at least two or more games I feel passionate about buying and playing.

    I actually went ahead and bought Zaxxon Escape from last weeks poll, and even though it finished close to last, I still think it is better than almost all of the games this week.

    Games like Wimp, Tentacles, or big name games like Asphault 7, Virtua Tennis, or even great puzzle games like Follow the Rabbit or Fire Busters, those kind of games make me passionate.

    This was the first week ever, that at first I almost felt like I shouldn't nominate anything, since everyone else may have a better say than me. But, Skyriders came along, had a lot of hype in its thread, read Syntheticvoids review on Appshack, and was a motion game, which I almost always buy. Just was a little fearful of getting the early adopter blues, so was iffy on buying it until about a month wait.

    But all the good reviews got to me, so I bought Skyriders. It's a good game, especially on the new ipad. So because of Skyriders, I decided to nominate a couple of games.

    So yeah, maybe it's just me, I'm not terribly passionate about this week's vote. What can I say?

    But, great sales going on for Halloween, so that is great! Finally got Orc Vengeance by Chillingo on sale, knew it was going to drop to 99 cents, I thought at xmas time, but getting it today is great. So I am looking forward to a lot of sales this week. I wonder if EA is going to have their usual holiday sale too.

    Anyway, I am curious to see who wins this week, may the best man win.

    Okay Kmart shoppers!!!

    Finally, another game has come online that is great fun.

    Twist Pilot by Zynga

    Echoseven, please add it right away

    Also, someone else please nominate this game, so it can make it on the vote cause it is a really late add.

    But really great game!!! Fun quirky music, simple puzzle action fun, and makes you laugh when you play. Pick it up and try it, it's only 99 cents, highly recommended!

    And the music totally rocks, I love it. May have the best soundtrack of any game that I have ever bought!

    Echoseven, because of the late add, my nominations are now:

    Twist Pilot - great puzzle action game
    Skyriders - good motion game
    Carmegedon cause they were nice to give it out for free.
    Angry granny to help sink or swim out
    Sonic Jump cause I won't like it but Zaxxon Escape was ok, Sega!

    Thank you.

    Now, VaroFN, this week is much better for me. At least now, I will have to do some thinking as to who I would vote for.
