[Update] iOS and Android Game of the Week - your vote needed
|
Updated on July 22nd, at 12:50: This week's winner is iOS and Android point-and-click adventure rehash Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded.

It's a bit sexist and not terribly funny, but at least it's not as rapey or racist as later instalments. For that, we can all be thankful.

Original story follows...


Every week, thousands of new games hit the iOS App Store and Google Play on Android. Trying to find the diamonds in the rough is no easy task, let us assure you.

We like to think we do a pretty good job with our news articles, mid-week round-ups, expert reviews, and comprehensive features, mind.

But, now we want to know what YOU think.

Today, we're going to ask you to pick the best game that was released on iOS and Android from the past week (from the nominations below), and then we'll announce the winner in a glamorous article next Monday.

There are loads of places to vote. Leave a comment at the bottom of this article, reply to our Game of the Week tweet, answer the poll on Facebook, or shout your choice at your nearest relative.
