Hi Guys,

I'm looking for something cheap and replayable (in $AUD)

Right now, i'm looking at some Indie games

I've tried the demo of Blueberry Garden and like it, but i'm not sure how much i'll get out of it.

World of Goo, Braid and The Maw are also choices.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated

P.S. Please go out there and support indie games if you like them. Even if they're casual.

World of Goo is great, but I only played it through once before never touching it again.

I haven't played the others you've listed, but another game worth checking out is Aquaria (if you like Metroid/Castlevania-like games).

I really enjoyed Braid. It's very challenging - for the mind too. Hard to explain, but it's kinda a deep game. There's some replayability with the different modes and alternate ending, but I played only once to date. I may try again.

The best indie game out there is Mount & Blade. You may have heard of it. It came out not to long ago, but I played it in beta for a few years. A couple in Turkey made the game and for a small charge (much less than retail) they let folks play beta versions up to final release. That went on for a few years and in the mean time a large community built up, including extensive modding. The game is classified as an RPG, but it's more sandbox-like. The KEY thing that makes this game great is the realistic 3rd person medieval combat. There is absolutely nothing like it out there - from fighting from a horse, melee, and using a bow, it's incredible. For obvious reason, the graphic engine is not the best but the rendering and character models/items are quite nice. An expansion is coming out later this year that will significantly improve graphics and add mulitiplayer. You can find the game on most download sites and in stores - look for specials.
