Vote now: Zeebys, first annual casual game awards

The casual game industry is huge, casual games are everywhere, and people the world over play casual games. So it’s always good whenever there’s another awards program for casual games. And it makes perfect sense when the winners are chosen by the gamers instead of by some academy of snooty industry peers.

The Zeeby People’s Choice Awards are now open for online voting. Just follow the “Via” link below to register and to vote. Voting ends January 31, 2007.

We’ll discuss each of the nominees for Best Casual Game of the Year later today or some time tomorrow. For now, the categories and nominees are…
