Bone up for Independent Games Festival award

If you haven’t heard by now, Bone: The Great Cow Race, the wonderful game adaptation of the comic book series BONE by Jeff Smith, is up for quite the lovely little award. According to the ever so exciting TellTale Games blog, Bone: The Great Cow Race is up for the Independent Games Festival’s Audience Award. This is a competition that Gamespot has been doing for the past 9 years, so this is a pretty big deal in the game world! I mean, come on… the winning finalist will win $2,500 to blow on hookers and lollipops. There isn’t anything better to spend your winnings on, in my opinion.

Bone is up against some tough competitors. Samorost 2, a lovely point and click adventure game by Amanita Design is bound to get a few votes for this award… There is also some weird sci-fi first person shooter called Armada Online, which is a MMORPG and you can kill other players. That’s always a plus. And then there is always the weird and challenging puzzle games that look cool like Armadillo Run, which makes my head hurt just thinking about it.

There are all sorts of cool looking games to peruse, but if you want to do your adventuring duties right, you should of course vote for the adventure games like Bone: The Great Cow Race. So go… vote here. You can even download all the demos, so really you have no excuse… except maybe if you broke all your fingers in a horrific bowling accident. It’s happened. Seriously.

If you don’t, when Max becomes president, you’ll be the first to be terminated. I’m serious.
