OMG !!! I love INDIE Games...

WOW, never thought I would say this but:

I have quiet a few games installed at the moment, FEAR3, Dead Space 2, Split Second, Dragon Age 2 LEGACY, Alpha Protocol and The Witcher 2.

AND Guess what?

I can't stop playing BASTION.

It's simple, colourful, easy to pick up and at the end of the day.... FUN !!!

(I really liked LIMBO too but I just suck at puzzles so had to leave it...)

Same. Many of my favorite experiences this generation have been indie titles. Braid, Trine, Limbo, Bastion, Crayon Physics Delux, Amnesia, The Ball, Zeno Clash, E.Y.E., Minecraft, Terraria, AaAaAA!!!, Gratuitus Space Battles, Cogs, Cryostasis (not sure if this was an indie title, but I'm pretty sure it was fairly low budget), Hammerfight, Magika, Steel Storm, Audiosurf, World of Goo, Sanctum, and I am sure plenty of others.

Steam has been my main method of playing these indie titles. I did get the Humble Indie Bundle #3 which also gave my the HIB #2 which was nice because I missed out on #2 when it was originally done. The fact that they had the code that let you tie all (I think 12 was the final count) the games to your Steam account was just perfect.

Want to know whats amazing..Game-play is where it is at..Not graphics either..Thats what makes these games fun..You can have such a graphical feel for a game..Yet it could be boring as hell..Most of these simple games like Bastian are fun...Thats what these devs some times forget..They keep watering down games..Yet these indie type games are bringing back the fun factor in games..Ita about time to..These older companies like blizzard and some others even elder scrolls..Keep down grading games and watering them down..Take dragon age 2 for instance..Meh what a let down for me..Oblivion was decent not great..It took a lot of skills out of morrowind..Same im sure with skyrim..

Welcome to the indie band wagon. You should also try these ones out if you haven't : M&B:Warband, And Yet It Moves, Gish, Iron Grip : Warlord, World of Goo, VVVVVV, Samorost 2, Revenge of the Titans, Sanctum, Defense Grid : Awakening and of course the famous Super Meat Boy.

I will probably get Bastion soon and yea, too true, I'm also trying to finish up my backlog, actually expecting the games I got to be short.

If you want to be blown away by a indie game get 'Trine'. It is one of the most beautiful you will play and the gameplay is awsome :)

And let's not forget that Trine 2 will be out later this year ... and isn't it just gorgeous?:D

P.S. So far indie games are better than around half of the games which came out this year ... that's my personal opinion however :roll:

Same :)

I also have a few "big" games installed yet all i play is Bastion.

Limbo is easy imo, and im really bad at puzzles, and usually never play them

try Atom Zombie Smasher and Gravity Bone! Gravity bone is free. its best you dont read up on it before you try it

EYE - might be the best game I've played this decade. May be buggy currently but the brilliance behind the game design and how it all works together is well...brilliant.

EYE is not dumbed down and expects the person playing to be like wise. You have to think, figure out, learn, discover, try and plan. Not being spoon fed a 5th Grader story and not having hand holding popups is all part of what makes this game so awesome. Seriously, if you want to use your brain, buy this game. FWIW, it takes about 4 hours to 'get' this game, then its pure bliss and chaos all at once.

mount and blade warband i think is posibbly one of the most addicting and funest games iv ever played. right now im playing it with the brytanwalda mod and its a blast

What, INDIE developers can take advantage of the power of computers in 2011 to make creative games that focus on giving us the best gameplay experience possible for cheap? This is madness. This is insanity. THIS IS MINECRAFT!

Indie games do have their charm. Limbo, Machinarium, Outland, Minecraft. I recently played Fotonica and for how simple it is, it sure was fun.

They just released a patch that made it easier to get the 'real' ending that makes the story make sense. Basically you have to try and piece things together as you play through the game 3 times trying out different things (the game is short and there is a reason the story is told that way) and at the end of the third time it all makes sense. Can't say anymore without spoiling it but the story is amazing in how it is told and how everthing actually ties togther from the enemies as symbols to the character's state of mind.

As for indie games I find them to be a love or hate affair. I like ones that try different things or use old concepts in interesting ways.Games like Eschalon bug me though because they try to be old school for the sake of being old school and don't even try to update the fomula.

Both Limbo and Bastion are on my wishlist along with Capsized. Currently I am playing Aquaria, which might end up being my favorite indie game. I absolutely love the narrator and the game music. I also want to mention Cave Story, which is free on the PC. IMO, Cave Story plays better with a controller. It's such a great game and I wanted to support the developer, so I bought it on the DS.

I really like S.P.A.Z. and it's easily becoming one of my favorite indie games. Elann2008
