We have a few games this week. I was sort of on the edge about whether or not I should include The Almighty Paintbrush - anyway I decided not to include it eventually (as it's a level editor which I'm guessing will be released with the final version of The Underside). Anyway, here are this week's entries:

Cryn the Dark Reflection , Wizard Wing , Gappy 2 (Winter Competition entry) , Turbo Wade , Tarmak 2: Rise of the Arcades

Well last week a few of you were complaining because we allowed some engines into the GOTW. I'd just like to point out that we've allowed engines into the poll for a long time, and we will continue to do so unless the rules/criteria are changed. If you think the criteria for GOTW should be changed then feel free to start a thread about it in the forum where everyone can discuss it (as long as it's not a threatening/aggressive thread that is..). A few of you have been saying that it's unfair that user's don't get to give opinions on rule changes and such - but we always try to listen to your opinions of stuff such as this and we appreciate if you guys try contributing to such things.

YAY! Hickory won!

As for the TAP, it's not really a game, and the version of TU with it is a small 2-5% preview =/

Edit: The "click here to download the game" part isn't working for me.

Yeh I guess.. I haven't done the GOTW for a long time so I'm sort of scared I'll mess up

Erm, you should remove the super mario galaxy engine before anyone votes for it >.> It already won GOTW once

you can replace it with TAP, that would be good

I don't think anyone complained about engines. We just forgot what the ruling was.

It is Game of The Week, so even there shouldn't be included applications. But I think that engines shouldn't be because they're just engines nothing more.

I think engines should be included just fine; the Game in gotw is more a technicality, since thats looking at TDC as a purely "game" site. At any rate, it doesn't matter too much for me, since I think no matter what you shouldn't be able to win GOTW with the same game, twice.
