Cast your (very late) vote for the 2011 VU Awards

We realize that we are indeed very, very late in posting this call to voting. We hope you will take us up on this quickly!

As we do every year, we at the Virtual Underground have our own yearly awards, voted on by our community and posted up for the world to see and debate! This year we are boasting some new categories, including Best Indie Game, and our own version of the Razzie award, aptly called Worst Game of the Year. We’re not pulling any punches.

Follow the links below, and cast your vote, and stay tuned for the results on New Year’s Day!
