To be clear, you had to _enter_ these awards to be considered, so if you see games that you think are missing, you might want to check the list of entries on the site. Also, it's specifically slanted towards the indie side of things, so a different set of games to normal may be honored.

Thanks!
Simon@IGF.

Yeah, we were quite bummed we didn't make it into the finals. We had submitted ZA!, TBD and Summit for the awards. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. Best of luck to all the finalists and congrats!

Impossible that a "matching game" to get a nod, right?

I as well… question the validity of some of these entries. Something smells a little fishy… like the "judges" only had a limited number of free codes and had an extremely limited selection. I'd like to see the criteria.

Guys, a contest is NEVER completely fair.
Try to live with it and be happy, that it's nearly and iPhone only contest, which is good for the device in general.

Since it's a 2009 competition (shouldn't it be '08?), there must be a place for Blue Attack! in several categories…

Looking at the list of finalists, it seems quite a number of those games haven't been released. There is a new tower defense game (Tower Madness) that looks pretty good. Then there is Zen Bound…

@ thenewconfession

On the forums, Frand has stated that they have provided up-to-date builds of the project. I would assume for the music category that the music for Zen Bound (or at least the bulk of it) is already composed and ready to go.
