Which came first, the finalists or the sale? The Direct2Drive Vision Award has just named its five finalists vying for a $10,000 prize to be announced at the Independent Games Festival. Last year was the first year this award was presented, with Osmos taking home the cash.

Chosen from the full pool of entrants that Arsen has been sorting through, there are a few new faces and some repeats from other categories. In no particular order they are:

*Hurricane X2
*Joe Danger
*Nyxquest: Kindred Spirits
*Super Meat Boy
*Max and the Magic Marker
