It sort of makes me sad with myself that of all the indie games I’ve played this year, only one of my favorites made the list.
If you happen to be in Culver City, California between October 8th and 9th stop by IndieCade and get some hands on time with the best indie games of the year. Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the door.
