The 2007 [random] Indie Game Challenge
Original Blog Post Link
For completely arbitrary and torporous reasons I have decided to randomly select 10 independent games from recently released “top of 2007” game lists from numerous indie game reporting blogs. I tired to limit it to games which I've either spent very little time with, or games that I've never touched. I will be ranking them in order of 1 to 10 based on initial impressions of 30 minutes or less with the games. This exercise should not be taken seriously by any stretch of the imagination, don't let the title fool you.
Now for the game list in alphabetical order:
-Akuchizoku
-Cottage of Doom!
-Dive
-Dwarf Fortress Graphical Version
-Flipside
-Iwanaga
-La Mulana
-Poesysteme
-Sam & Max Episode 4: Abe Lincoln Must Die!
-Sauerbraten / Cube 2
So, play along on your PC too. The games shouldn't be all that hard or taxing on most PCs: at worst you need to get Steam, and for one game you'll need HL2 (which everyone has anyways, right?). One game is to feed my own indulgences and curiosities, see if you can pick which one. Results will be posted within the next few days.
