Game Tunnel's Indie Games of the Year 2006

Posted by Zonk on from the what-else-is-there-to-do-this-weekend? dept.

cyrus_zuo writes "Creating off-beat, original, and carefully crafted games is the heritage of Independent Game developers, and the Top 10 Independent Games of 2006 does its ancestry proud. Each of the 10 games selected this year is a winner in its own right, an undiscovered gem just waiting to be found. So dim the lights and warm up your modem, as Game Tunnel presents The Top 10 Independent Games of 2006." The annual Independent Games Festival will also be giving a nod to indie games from 2006, and via features you can have a look behind the scenes at some of Game Tunnel's winners. Check out the entries on Kudos , Gumboy Crazy Adventures , and Virtual Villagers .

  1. Fizzball by aaronwormus · · Score: 2, Informative

    I bought fizzball a couple of months ago for my 5-year-old and both of us have enjoyed it a lot. It's a clever game, which appeals to both adults and kids.

    Good graphics and sound-track.

    They do. This article is not a review, though. If you check the actual review here, you can see for yourself.
