Cow Race is in great company, with games like Samorost 2, Armadillo Run, Bang! Howdy, and Castle Crashers also in contention (all of which happen to be personal favorites of Telltale staff). There's even a game called Fizz Ball, which has nothing to do with the raincoat, baseball bat, and beer version of Fizzball invented by Steve Purcell and friends in the 80s, but it's a funny coincidence all the same.
So practice your civic duty and go vote! The winning studio gets a $2,500 prize and also the warm, fuzzy feeling of knowing that it's well-loved. And let's face it, a little positive reinforcement never hurt anyone.
