http://www.1up.com/do/feature?pager.offset=0&cId=3174065Pietepiet linked me to this, and I noticed several of my friends and fellow developers on it, as well as plenty of folks who frequent TIG  So I thought I'd point it out. He mentions that a lot of worthy games didn't make the list, a few of which I've noticed myself. Made me happy though, because it was right when traffic to my own game started to slow down. Congrats to everybody on there, lots of eyes will see this, so more love for all.

Yay, toplists are always fun to leaf through  I think this is the first time that I actually know the majority of the games on such a list. But, just as usual, there was still a lot of interesting stuff I haven't heard of. That's going to be worth a while |

My impression exactly. I think it says something about the community at large. Not something to boast about, but something definitely to hug over |

Oh, man. I remember ThrustBurst. That game was awesome. It pretty much consumed the entire TIGS community for a week or two. All those games are awesome!  EDIT: Haha, holy shit. Ginormo Sword? This list is like a history of all the games I've played since I joined TIGS. EDIT EDIT: Garden Gnome Carnage!    Best. Game. Ever. |

Sharkey and Parish are my two favorite things about 1UP. I'm so glad they were able to stay. Also, one of Sharkey's previous lists are responsible for introducing me to indie games.

I laughed when I saw Gang Garrison at the top of the Shmup list, I always thought of it as more of platformer. That's just me nitpicking though, it was really great to see so many TIG made games represented.
All of the adult swim games on the list seemed a bit lazy though... I mean there are some great adult swim games, but meowcenaries? return to candy mountain? Those are two of their worst. What about 5 minutes to kill yourself, vending machine challenge, or viva caligula? They are way more innovative and fun, not to mention just as free.

When The Bomb Goes Off is under the WTF? category.
I agree with MisterX, this is the first time I've seen this list and recognized most of them. Pretty cool.

Pasta Master!
Some of those are just shitty, unfortunately. There seem to be great games and terrible games and nothing in between on that list.

I don't get why Death Vegas is in the WTF category but it is indeed a very awesome game. I totally dig the fighting mechanics behind it and has some pretty cool characters.

Played it. Awesome art and cool gameplay but... Found it way too easy, but making me waste wayyy to much time (by repetitively fighting the same combination of characters with story panels that took ages to switch) I don't understand what Flash devellopers gain by maximizing the play time of their players on one play. It must be something related to ad money. I quit when I realized i was wasting some time. The Nitrome rythm game OTOH is fun. |
