    All,

    I don't know how I mistyped this (lack of sleep, too many games, over worked, ...) but voting is open until May 8th, not April 8th. So, you have a few more weeks to let us know what you think about this group of 20 nominated games. Thanks to the 25 members who have already voted!

    -George

    Just two and a half days left to get your votes in! Democracy only works if we all participate.

    Seriously, the Awards Committee would love to have more members voices heard, so use the link to let us know what you think about these nominated games for this year's Platinum Plays:
