    As background, I have recently played through the recently released "Lone Survivor" and the less recently released "Braid."

    What I want to know is, what other indie titles are worth checking out, in your opinion.

    Minecraft, of coarse. XD
    I've also heard (Through one of Sparky's posts) of a game named Paranormal. That looks good!

    If you're into interactive novels then I can't recommend Christine Love's work enough:

    - Digital: A Love Story (Free)
    - Analogue (Paid)
    - Don't take it personally Babe, it just ain't your story (Free)

    I tried the "Bastion" demo and that was pretty darn fun. Sanctum is supposed to be good. Ugh, does Mount & Blade count as indie..?

    Overgrowth by wolfire games (only alphas are playable if you pre-purchase).

    Oh, another indie horror game. THANK YOU. Large game companies don't really do horror well anymore. I'm eager to play Amnesia: The Dark Descent, but I also want to give some space between the horror games.

    How is Cave Story?

    I saw Analogue on Steam and wondered about that. Is it one of those games like Hotel Dusk where the whole thing is linear and text-heavy, or is it actually just an interactive novel?

    I got Bastion in this latest humble indie bundle. I've heard good things about it. Maybe I ought to try that next!

    Do you have a PS3? If so, check out the Pixeljunk games and anything made by thatgamecompany.

    There's also a very creepy game being developed called Among the Sleep. It's basically Amnesia, but you play as a two year old.

    No. I don't make enough to justify to myself the purchase of a PS3 since I have a 360 and a decently powerful PC (along with a ton of older game consoles I got when I was a kid), even if there are quite a few console exclusives I want for it. There are so many great exclusives coming out lately, though, that at some point I might have to just break down and buy one, as they are getting far more affordable than they used to be. Heck, the Vita is a way bigger investment than a new PS3 is, even if you opt for the $250 version, as the games are still fairly expensive at this point (makes sense, it being a new machine and all) and the memory cards are exorbitantly priced.

    Wow, I just looked that game up. VERY creepy looking. I love it. If that is released on Steam, I'll probably pre-order it.
