The IGF finalists have been announced. They are all below.

I'm disappointed to see that Fez hasn't made it into the Seumas McNally entries. There looks to be so much potential there, and I really hope it delivers. It's made two other categories. Very glad to see Crayon Physics Deluxe making the cut, and surprised to see Hammerfall in there. It's certainly lots of fun, but I wouldn't have thought it had quite everything you'd need to be a grand prize finalist. Also, how on earth did Rückblende miss out on the Visual Art final list? Such are the questions in my head. All the winners are announced on Feb 20th.
