Play The Independent Games Festival

Posted by Zonk on from the like-you-need-an-excuse-for-more-games dept.

The Seventh Annual Independent Games Festival doesn't start until tomorrow (indeed, the kiosks at the Moscone Center aren't even set up yet), but if you're interested in the contenders you can play many of them at Gamespot. While not all of the games have demos, the ones that do are definitely worth checking out.

  1. The competition... by AnamanFan · · Score: 3, Informative

    Personally, I think the open category is between Alien Hominid and Gish.

    Alien Hommid is the only non-PC (PS2 and Gamecube) game in competition, and has a very solid following via Newgrounds since the game started as a flash-based game.

    Gish wins out in both looks and physics. Epically the physics. It also shares a fan base from Newgrounds as they advertised heavily on NG and post NG content.

    Personally, I hope Alien Hommid wins. I have no real reason that it beats out the other. Both are very good games.

    Now next year, I'm hoping Antidote sweeps the awards!
