The People's Choice in Casual Games

Gamezebo and the Casual Games Association has opened the voting for the 2nd annual Zeebys award! You have until July 5 to vote for your favorite casual games. The winners will be announced in Seattle on July 24th. The event will be taped and available on myLifetime.com for viewing. People in the Seattle area can purchase tickets for $20 - all profits to go the Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation.

Nine awards will be given. In the strategy and simulation category the choices are: "Alice Greenfingers," "Build a Lot," "Chocolatier," "Defender of the Crown - Heroes Live Forever," Fairy Godmother Tycoon," and "Virtual Villagers - The Lost Children." Many good choices in the Time Management category too. There is an overall favorite award as well. Too bad they left out "Virtual Villagers." That is what my pick would have been.

• Vote for Your Favorite Games - The Zeebys
• "Fairy Godmother Tycoon"
