Independent Games Festival Free Play

Posted by Zonk on from the games-for-free dept.

Sune Nielsen writes "The Independent Games Festival main competition has a lot of great games from independent developers, who will all be presenting their games in the IGF booth at the Game Developers Conference in San Jose. The IGF has an Audience Award, and has just opened voting. Demos are available for most of the contestants. You need a Gamespot login (free) to vote, but not to try the demos. The award ceremony will take place on March 22nd at the GDC." Free demos, folks, of some of the most out-there games you're likely to play this year. I'm rooting for Darwinia and Dad n' Me.

  1. My vote goes to... by Zitchas · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Darwinia. From everything I've read about it, it looks to be one of the more intresting (read: different, unique, and quite possibly fun) games to hit the market recently. Not much chance of getting to try any of them out in the near future, though. On a related note, has anyone bult that time transporter yet? Or any way to add a couple hours to my own personall time frame without changing the rest of the world's time? (so I can get in a couple hours extra on everyone else)
