    Ya, no doubt. Hopefully they're already almost finished up releasing the sequel etc..And something like winning this can only help...

    Gave it to Crazy Hedgy with Swrodigo a close second. I hope one of those two at least make the top 3

    I'm having trouble picking between KR and CR2. CR2 is so underrated... it's a huge game and a huge RPG. Yet KR is a completely new TD experience. I guess I'm gonna have to go with KR... sorry Square!

    My vote goes to Waking Mars, with Kingdom Rush being the second favorite. Too bad Where's My Water didn't make the cut...

    WOW! I'm pretty surprised a FLASH GAME has the possibility of winning this... granted, it'll be well deserved... but still... a FLASH GAME!! =oO

    I don't think that really matters, just proves that great games can come from anywhere and don't need a huge staff of people with tons of money to do it.

    Yes it's a flash game, probly the best flash game ever, its been highly praised as just that. As an IOS game it's getting that same recognition, If went to a console it would probly get the same.

    Infinity blade 2 is probly my least favorite game one the list, my vote wasn't just too keep I from winning... I'll support kR and Ironhide anyway over chair.

    * and what do u know without even remembering it was actually KR that beat Nihilumbra.. And I guess Im ok with that too..

    Anyways, I hate thAt only one game a week gets to be in contention for goty, esp because most of the time the game has just been released and it's impossible to tell what will eventually end up being know as the best.

    If there's ever another side poll like this is hope it would be for 2nd and 3rd place games...

    Had WMw made the list I probly would have voted for it, but it did not.

    Also the fact that I couldn't even nominate nihilumbra sucks, I dont know how it didn't win gotw, It is ashame.

    I have played almost all of the nominees and it is an easy choice for me: Kingdom Rush.

    Swordigo or Mage Gauntlet is a tough call... went Swordigo, but hoping Mage Gauntlet manages to be in the top #3 all the same.

    And so, the poll is closed. I will tally up the winners over the course of the day, but in the meantime:

    What do you think of the results?

    Not very exciting. It feels like not enough members put in their votes overall.

    It's nice that Kingdom Rush seems to have won this one.

    Mind you, this isn't a GOTY - this is just a pick of the GOTWeek winners that have taken out the first 52 weeks since the whole thing has started. The GOTY will come later.
