Indie games, huh?

Well, I liked Skyrim, and Portal 2...

Frankly, it's been a pretty slow year for me... I can't remember a lot of indie games that I particularly liked recently.
this
I remember playing Treasure adventure game and thinking it was rather nice, but that's all.
I'm mostly playing and replaying old mainstream games ATM.
Right now most indie games are either too artsy hipstery or iphoney jump-the-banana crap.

i thought you liked voxatron

i think a lot of people aren't even trying to think of any for some reason and just trolling the thread instead. that'll just clutter it up and make it less useful for people looking for good games to play

you are allowed to vote for betas

but yeah i wasn't too unimpressed by how short voxatron was. i still voted for it cuz i could see the potential, but i want to see a game that's like it that's more than 30 min long

It offends me that you think I'm trolling because I've been unimpressed by most of this year's indie titles.

I guess I'll try again once I get back home and can actually look through my game collection for things I may have enjoyed this year... but IMO, the fact that I can't remember anything off the top of my head speaks for itself.

@nillo - i didn't mean you, i meant moi & starsrift; you at least named one (to the moon). it just strikes me as cluttersome for people to post joke answers, because there are people who will read this thread (including me) genuinely looking for good indie games to play that they may have missed out on this year, and saying things like 'portal 2' just wastes our time (it'd be different if the trolling was creative or funny rather than boring and expected, i guess -- i wouldn't object to super joe trolling the thread, for instance)

i do think "the fact that I can't remember anything off the top of my head speaks for itself" is a bad attitude though -- did you play most of the games other people are mentioning in this thread, and not enjoy them, or did you just not get a chance to play them?

@ortoslon - it's probably because i only played a few games this year; if i had played as many as you there'd probably be more overlap. of the ones you mentioned, i didn't play a single one
