I have to admit that I'm not entirely sure why I watched the E3 coverage as, due to what appears to be a continuing saga of me having extreme money and health issues, I'm not really in the market for buying shiny new frontline games. Yet...because of that very problem I found myself ignoring all the big games being demonstrated and much ballyhooed by their respective presenters, and I found myself becoming more and more fascinated with a lot of the smaller games, many of which are only being released as downloadable titles.

Perhaps because of their budget limitations, I often find these games appealing from an old school aspect in the sense that I can just pick up and play them without too much knowledge of how they work. But also, and mayhaps in a more shallow way,  from an aesthetic sense they appeal more to me as the games often eschew the hyper-realism that big-budget modern games tend to wallow in, opting instead for a markedly stylistic approach. Obviously this approach is often for reasons of budget as well, but it is also an approach that appeals to me more...perhaps I'm just too old school? Who knows? 

Oh sure, there are many a big-budget title that I'm very much looking forward to such as 'inFamous - Second Son', 'Saints Row IV',  The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt', and Lord knows what else as, like I said, knowing I probably won't be able to pony up the big bucks to get it on day 1 of release, I kind of look past what mentally feels fairly unobtainable. Anyhoo...here is a quick rundown on the slightly smaller titles that caught my eye. Not sure if they'll catch my wallet, but they're definitely on my watch list.
