    The thing about Indie games is that you'll find developers taking risks that no publisher would let them. Often it doesn't pay out, but sometimes it does and you get a truly innovative game.

    And now I'll go back to playing Titan Quest to tide me over till Diablo 3.

  2. There are good indy games by Sycraft-fu · · Score: 2, Informative

    That's one of the reasons to check out a site like GameTunnel. In particular, the games they award game of the year tend to be real good. Pick a style you like and you'll probably find something fun. Depths of Peril is one I bought and am enjoying a whole lot. Really well done game overall.

    They aren't the only indie games around, just ones that got released (and submitted) this month.
    Games that don't look like those include:

    Lux (http://sillysoft.net/lux/)
    Mount n Blade (http://www.taleworlds.com/)
    Mr Robot (http://www.moonpod.com)
    Cute Knight (http://www.hanakogames.com/knight.shtml)
    Master of Defense (http://www.master-of-defense.com/)
    Determinance (http://www.mode7games.com/)
    and my own games:
    Democracy (http://www.democracygame.com) and
    Rock Legend (http://www.rocklegendgame.com)
