      Fallout Shelter sucked from the word go for me. The controls were absolutely tedious and terrible. It’s probably a bit less awful on a tablet, but I couldn’t stand it on my 5.5″ phone (and I guess I’m not a huge fan of touch-screen gaming in general).

         agree. I hated the controls and every time I put my phone away I’d re open it to find every thing had gone to shit in an hour while I wasn’t looking.

      Once I hit the population cap and made the vault so self-sustaining that I couldn’t even spend my caps anymore, I was over it. I know they added deathclaw attacks and other random events later, but I had uninstalled it by that point and had no interest in reinstalling since they didn’t add cloud saves until later, meaning I would have had to start over.

         Same – I reached that point. All that time lost. Won’t be going back, even for the new update it just got.

   No, handheld and mobile should not be bundled together.

   Back-handed compliments essentially saying Majora’s Mask 3D was the best of a bad bunch doesn’t really wash, though.

   Hell, to give the Vita credit where credit is due, handhelds will be on-par with the ‘big boy machines’ sooner than we think.

   Can you imagine if (say) the Super Mario Galaxy Remake on the Microsoft NXbox TrainBuddy 2 (With Knuckles) won over Last of Us 3: With a Vengeance in one of these awards?

      And yet there wasn’t a huge number of nominations for the category so it isn’t a case of the category being too broad

   I never had a response to my question – why wasn’t Hearthstone included in the nominations?! It easily had my vote.

         Yeah I did, and so did a few others I think. Only reason I can think of is that it released a while ago but only hit mobiles April this year? I still think that warrants a nomination considering many of the games listed were remakes/remasters.

            Yep, I don’t get why ports, remakes or remasters can’t be included.

   Torn, Majora was pretty excellent. Doesn’t bother me that it’s a remake, it was new to handheld & I’m damn sure it was entirely new to someone.

   I still think TitS is the clear winner. But I’m a nutjob.
