Indie Games September Wrap-Up

Posted by Zonk on from the not-necessarily-about-dr.-jones dept.

Cyrus_Zuo writes "Game Tunnel has up a September overview of Indie games, making this the fourth in a series of wrap-ups that cover all of the indie games that come out each month. This month has two 'professional indie' releases that were released in September, Wik & the Fable of Souls from Reflexive Entertainment (Star Trek Away Team) and Outpost Kaloki from Ninja Bee (a subdivision of Wahoo Studios)."

  1. Not much to be excited about so far this year by bear+pimp · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I generally follow the shareware games industry, because in the past I've found some incredible games. This year has not been too exciting though. The above mentioned Wik looks ok though (Bit like Bionic Commandos?)

    I think Gametunnel's Game Of The Year article has a more interesting round up though (and you can avoid sections you aren't interested in like 'puzzle' and 'arkanoid'!!)

    Be warned though, it has awful layout - to find the winners, you have to scroll to the bottom, and you have to look thought ten pages of runners up for the overall game of the year! -Awful!!
    Here's the winner links:

    Action Game of the Year(Alien Shooter)
