    Delta-V Racing got my vote, very fun 2D racing game with a nice F-Zero/Mario Kart feel.
     
  5. I will go with delta-v racing, not necessarily because I think it is the best game, but because they put in icade support for me and better ipad graphics support.

    The poll option should actually be Prince of Persia: The Shadow and the Flame, not The Sand and the Flame, although it makes no material difference.

    Thanks, was hurriedly throwing poll together. I think a moderator can edit so will request mod aid. I appreciate you pointing the error out.

    The Prince of Persia title is awkward because it is just a continuous phrase without a : symbol but with a ® instead Prince of Persia® The Shadow and the Flame so I struggled with how to formally indicate the syntax; which must have backfired in totally botching the words themselves.

    Edit: I'm surprised no one noticed I mis-spelled Futuridium last week (omitted an 'i'). This is what happens when you can type faster than you can think.

    Yeah, I just threw the colon in because I'm used to it, even though the game uses its own awkward arrangement for the title.

    I'd have to check whether or not I actually voted last week; I usually do, but I can't for the life of me remember what was on offer. :p

    Ah, B&C it was. There've also been a couple of invalid votes over the past couple of weeks that I haven't bothered bringing up because they wouldn't have made any difference given the spread.

    Voted for Lums, what a great physics puzzler

    How is PoP?

    I have noticed some of the invalid votes but unless it makes a huge difference haven't been weeding them out of the count, I guess technically I should (but it's been moot in recent weeks).

    Maybe it gives those developers some ego boost to feel they've fooled the community into thinking their game got 9 votes instead of 4 to come in 5th place ...and who am I to deny them that small concession? The whole ballot stuffing thing is so absurd.

    Surprisingly fantastic, and packed real tight which is a plus if you're low on space (which i think everyone on TA is).

    My vote is for Delta-V Racing. It's all I've been playing recently.

    Nice to see a spread of votes amongst the contenders. This was a good week with something for everyone.
     
  15. I am not too aware of your game, would love to hear more about your game with icade support, since I am the President of the HDMI and Icade loverz group. Will look at your game info about this game, definitely. Thanks.

    Really? Most reviews either hate the game or just think it's mediocre. Forum impressions say differently.

    It is surprising. Only has a 65 average on Metacrtic, with one review giving it a 2/10? WTF? In comparison, even the polarizing Sine Mora has a 76 average (pulled down by IGN's horrid review of it).

    PoP actually really exceeded my expectations completely (never was a huge fan of the 2D games. It was Sands if Time that got me into the series). I'd highly recommend it.

    I never played the originals but maybe it's a nostalgia thing? But then Eurogamer hated the controls, yet most players here think the touch controls are excellent. It really is weird, how different the user opinion and critic opinion is.
