Indie Glut

Hey there,


I just dove into the indie games scene head first and picked up the humble bundle 3.  So far I'm really enjoying everything that has to offer.  I've played a lot of Revenge of the Titans, and a little of Cogs and Atom Zombie Smasher.  After that, I picked up Frozen Synapse during a steam sale.  Split the cost with my friend and we each got a copy.  


What a breath of fresh air the indie games scene is - low prices, great ideas, engaging concepts.  A perfect counter point to one too many big name console releases.  You'll forgive a lot for a cheap product, and the freedom to be imperfect or to have only niche appeal opens up so much for these indie designers.  I love the art style in both Titans and Zombie.  Synapse is so deep its scary - but the on screen images are pretty basic.  


I'm saving most of the other titles for play on my netbook between novels at the cottage.


Overall, I'm really happy I finally discovered so many of these titles.  I will try to post some reviews of the games as I finish them.  


I'll be eagerly awaiting Humble Bundle 4.  


Thanks,
J
