Final Pre-GDC Update

Well, GDC is almost upon us, so here's a couple of points that you shouldn't forget:

- You should go read GameSpy's excellent in-depth IGF preview, if you have a chance - as well as scouring Gamasutra and GameDev.net for the latest finalist interviews!

- The IGF Audience Award voting is now (as of 5pm PST!) closed - thanks to all who voted, we'll find out the lucky winner next Wednesday night at the IGF Awards itself.

- The IGF Pavilion at the 2006 Game Developers Conference in San Jose, which includes over 30 pods showcasing all the IGF finalists, will be officially open from Wednesday 22nd to Friday 24th next week, during conference opening hours - 9am to 5.30pm. The IGF Awards will be held starting 6.30pm on Wednesday, March 22 at the San Jose Civic Auditorium, and we will post information on the lucky 2006 IGF winners online when it's done.
