After some pretty difficult calculations (seriously, we nearly ran out of toes to count on), but we can now reveal the winner of last week's game of the week award. And that winner is the simple, one-touch arcade leaper, Hooky Crook.

But don't let that word - simple - fool you, because while the controls in the game are a breeze, there's a good deal more going on here than you might first expect. Read on and we'll let you know why we think Hooky Crook is a worthy winner of our prestigious-ish award.

You know what time it is, right? It's time for you, our esteemed and charming readership, to choose which of the five games below deserves to be crowned our game of the week. It's a pretty good week as well, so we expect that every single vote is going to count. It'd be a shame if you didn't cast yours.

But how do you vote? Well, there are a number of ways. You can leave a comment on this article, send us a tweet using the hashtag #148GOW, or leave us a comment on our Facebook page. What could be simpler than that?

It's been another close run thing in the 148Apps game of the week award, but after checking on some possible areas of contention with the Frankfurt bureau, we can finally reveal that the winner of last week's coveted title is the impressively deep Chaos Reborn: Adventures.

This is a game that really isn't for the faint of heart, chock full with strategy, tactics, new concepts, and even more. And, quite frankly, it's really rather brilliant. Do we think it's a worthy winner of our game of the week award? We most positively do, and if you read on you'll find out why.

How is it Thursday again? Feels like only yesterday I was typing up the last list of awesome games for you, our charming and erudite readers, to pick a game of the week from. But here we are, caught in the neverending ebb and flow of time, picking another five awesome games that have come out over the last seven days.

There are some surprises on the list, and since it's been such a good week for games on the App Store, there's a good chance that you're going to think we've missed something out. But that's life, we can't pick every game. And trust us when we say we stressed and fretted about what was going to make it onto the list until the wee small hours.

But how do you pick a winner? Well it's incredibly easy. All you need to do is leave a comment at the bottom of the article with the name of the game you'd like to win. Or you can tweet us your answer with the hashtag #148GOW, or leave as a comment on our Facebook page. It really couldn't be simpler.

It was certainly a close run thing this week, but after giving the numbers a while to settle, we can now reveal that the winner of last week's game of the week award is the really rather lovely Small Cargo from Appsolute Games.

It might look like another simple arcade action game, but there's actually a lot more going on here, which is why we think you chose it as your representative of the mobile gaming arts for last week. So let's look at the game in a little more depth.

Another week has passed, which means it's time for us to pick the five best games that have come out over the past week. What for? Why, so you, our dear readers, can pick one of them to win our game of the week award, obviously.

The coveted prize is only awarded to the games that you think are the cream of the crop, and come the end of the year every game of the week award winner will be vying to become 148App's reader's game of the year. If that isn't incentive, well I don't know what is.

There are a number of different ways for you to cast your vote. You can leave a comment on this article letting us know which game you'd like to win. You can tweet us your choice using the hashtag #148GOW, or you can leave us a heads-up on our Facebook page. Simple. Okay, let's get on with the games you have to pick from.

Well, we've run the numbers, and we can now reveal that this week's game of the week, as voted for by you, the readers of 148Apps, is Powerless by Narratio. It actually was a close run thing this week, but we sent the figures to Strasbourg and the independent panel of experts there verified our choice. Seriously, that happened.

Powerless is a narrative experience focusing on a world where the power has been shut down. It's got a lot of really interesting stuff going for it, and we reckon it's a deserving winner of the shiny and hypothetical award we hand out every week.

Normally we play these announcements out a little but, acting like the vote was close, or that there was some tension among the official panel of judges in Strasbourg about the final decision. Not this week though, because this week we have what one might call a runaway winner.

And that winner is Bendy in Nightmare Run, a game that's all about running away from terrifying cartoon creations that are trying to eat you. And throwing anvils at them. Any game where you can throw an anvil at someone is good in our book.

But there's much more to the game than just chucking heavy metal objects at taxis that have come to life. A lot more, actually.

Thursday has slipped up on us once again, and here at 148Apps that means it's time to start the game of the week process all over again. We've picked five of the best games that have come out over the last seven days, and it's up to you which of them leaves with the mobile gaming world's biggest accolade.

There's a pretty mixed bunch of games for you to choose from, with free to play, premium, and everything in between pretty well represented. We've got violence, we've got running, and we've got an evil taxi all waiting to see if they're going to get your vote.

But how do you vote? Well it's easy. You can leave a comment on this post, RT our tweets about the individual games on Twitter, making sure you include the hashtag #148GOW, or you can leave us a comment on Facebook. Whatever way you decide to do it, come back on Tuesday when we'll be announcing which of these five has earned the right to call itself the game of the week.

Well it was a tight one this week, but after a count, a recount, and a harried phone call with the game of the week administration in Strasbourg, we can now reveal that the winner of this week's game of the week award is midcore stealth banger, Sneak Ops.

The game sees you making your way through a maze-like structure, hiding from guards, laser trip-wires, and the roving eyes of sentry cameras. It's the stealth game with all of its frippery peeled back, and quite frankly it's pretty darn wonderful.

But why do we think it deserves to win our game of the week award? Not that it's up to us, but there's a damn good reason it's clearly resonated with so many of you.

Time certainly flies when you're having fun, and if you spend all of your life playing the best mobile games in the world, you best believe that time's flying like a bullet from a really big gun. Basically what I'm saying is that it's Thursday again, so it's time for you to pick your game of the week from these five choices.

There are some real gems in the mix this week, and there's going to be something for you whether you're a die-hard premium fan or don't mind dabbling in the shadowier world of free to play. We've got board games, we've got cats, we've got punching sleeping guards in the face, and we've got mutated radioactive zombie gits too.

If you want to make your voice heard and pick one of the games as this week's winner, there are a few ways you can do it. Leave a comment on this here article with your pick, tweet us your choice using the hashtag #148GOW, or just let us know on Facebook what you think deserves to win. And make sure to check back next week when we'll announce the victor.

We've counted up all the votes, sent them off to the court of arbitration in Strasbourg and had them vetted by an independent panel of retired judges and this guy we know who said he was real honest. I tell you all of this so when I announce the winner of the game of the week award, you know that the result is infallible.

It's Math and Sorcery, by the way. A game all about, wait for it, Math and Sorcery. But don't let that get you down, because there's so much to enjoy in both the mathematical and dark-arts departments here that it'd be churlish to complain.

Yeah, sure, we're a day later than usual with our game of the week award, but that just makes things more exciting. You've no doubt been waiting with baited breath for the contestants to be announced. And that's exactly what we're doing in this here article, so cool your jets.

It's an interesting mix this week. We've got premium, we've got free to play. We've got deep simulation and we've got super-fast reactions. We've got retro, modern, puzzle, and almost everything in between. But it's up to you now which one walks away the victor.

To vote you can just leave us a comment at the bottom of the article. Or tweet us using the hashtag #148GOW, or post on our Facebook page. That's it. That's all you have to do.Pretty darn easy right? Anyway, on with the picks, then on with the votes.

Another Thursday is upon us, which means another stream of new mobile games for us to get excited about. It also means it's time for you to pick which is your favorite new release from what we think are the five best that have come out over the last seven days.

There are plenty of ways to vote. For example, you can leave a comment on this article. If that doesn't tickle your fancy, tweet us your choice using the hashtag #148GOW. And if you're more of a Zucker than a tweeter, you can leave us a comment on our Facebook page telling us which of the games you think should win.

Every game of the week winner will go forward into a final showdown at the end of the year, where you, our wonderful audience, decide on the 148Apps readers' game of the year. So that's pretty awesome. Anyway, on with the choices.

We've run the numbers. We've run the numbers again, and we've run the numbers one final time, and we can now reveal which of these five games has won our highly coveted game of the week award. It's Rowdy Wrestling. Sorry, we don't do fanfare around these parts.

The game is a brilliant arcade blast of crunching nonsense that sees you duking it out against burly men in order to be crowned the champion. And sure, that might sound like it's been done before, but trust us when we say that there's a lot more going on here than that.
