TouchArcade Game of the Week: 'Evoland 2'
The idea behind the TouchArcade Game of the Week is that every Friday afternoon we post the one game that came out this week that we think is worth giving a special nod to. Now, before anyone goes over-thinking this, it doesn't necessarily mean our Game of the Week pick is the highest scoring game in a review, the game with the best graphics, or really any other quantifiable "best" thing. Instead, it's more just us picking out the single game out of the week's releases that we think is the most noteworthy, surprising, interesting, or really any other hard to describe quality that makes it worth having if you were just going to pick up one.
These picks might be controversial, and that's OK. If you disagree with what we've chosen, let's try to use the comments of these articles to have conversations about what game is your game of the week and why. Without further ado?

Evoland 2
The concept of the original Evoland [$1.99] is one of my favorite things ever. Basically you're playing through an RPG adventure that recounts a large bulk of the history of video games.

All the while you're being pelted with references to classic games and gaming culture that hit you right in the nostalgia bone. Being a gamer for over 30 years now, that trip down memory lane in Evoland...
