IGF 2007

A list of finalists in each category was released today. Here’s an excerpt from the web site:

Nominations are led by Bit Blot’s dreamlike, innovatively controlled 2D underwater adventure title Aquaria, which garnered 4 nominations (out of six), including one for the Seumas McNally Grand Prize.

Other Grand Prize nominees included Queasy Games’ cleverly designed abstract shoot-em-up, Everyday Shooter, which grabbed 3 nominations in total – nominees for the top prize were rounded out by Peter Stock’s intelligently complex physics puzzle game Armadillo Run, Three Rings’ Wild West indie strategy MMO Bang! Howdy, and Naked Sky’s Xbox Live Arcade action-puzzler RoboBlitz.

Go here for the entire read.

Feel free to post your predictions in the comments section. Derek might be convinced to give out an Aquaria goodie to anyone who gets the most categories right!

    “Naked Sky’s Xbox Live Arcade action-puzzler RoboBlitz.”

    It’s out for the PC too (in fact, it’s been available for a while now, though nobody seems to care about the PC-version).

    Four nominations for Aquaria, plus the Audience Award eligibility! That is amazing - can’t wait to play the game. Congrats to Derek and Alec.

    Nice. Congratz Yu and company.

    Surprises, I actually wasn’t expecting to see Robo Blitz on the list, but hey, why not. And cool, a new Ninja Bee title. Can’t wait to learn more about it.
