GOTW #102
News posted 18th September, 2004 by *The* Chris Street
Congratulations should go to Jay White this week. His revised version of Titan Omega Revelations proved to be significantly better than his poorer original, and this is probably the first game to win GOTW twice! Saying that, Ball Btard deserves an honourable mention too, as it had only two votes less. Click here to download the GOTW This weeks entrants - Depth Diver, Defender Of Grim, Mr Boo, and Virus BK. Not much to choose from this time; but then again, not much was submitted this week (that was worthy, anyway)... Eventful Moments Of This Past Week: Necropixel Giants Hurricane Appeal. Read the news post below this one, and if you can, donate! Gamemaker vs The Games Factory - obviously TGF is better, but some clown thinks otherwise... click here for the debate! Shab has written an article on how to get your game on the front page. Click here to read it**, it's quite important that these suggestions are followed... Tweet

I don't really think this is fair...i mean, gotw just because it's a improved version of the same game? I think we should give the others chance by not letting the same game compete.

I've had loads of complaints about this. In future, then I won't do such a thing. But I figured TOR was so significantly improved, and that everyone slated it before, that it deserved a second chance. Jay put loads of effort into making the game fun to play, and IMO thats GOT to be worth another chance. But anyway... that's the last time it'll happen :P I think Operation Sitting Duck 2 won GOTW twice as well, and both games weren't even anything more than betas.

poetic justice maybe? all the negative feedback transformed into a positive effect on the game. so without the negative feedback there would have been no 1.5, meaning no GOTW! thats right; somehow.

Whatever, we can always blame it on the leprechauns.

Bah, we all know Circ-cat lacks any decision-making facility. Let's just hope there's no more bugfixes for Tango Strike, or we'll never see a real GOTW again.
