Revision as of 03:40, 2 December 2006
It's that time of year again! C.W.Richeson has proposed the burning question once more: Which are the best 5 indie games out there?. Have your opinions changed with the new games and experiences you've encountered in the last year? Or have your solid impressions remained the same?
(The vote tally is current as of post #124 of the associated thread.)
Top 5 Indie - 2005-2006
"Indie is self defined, for the purposes of this thread. It generally means small press games, such as those found at Indie Press Revolution, but not necessarily. Take your best guess and have at it! The same goes for the word "best." List the best, your favorite, or just five indie games you think are darned nifty!"
