Moving To Indie Games

In the recent months (past 1 year or so), I've gradually moved from "mainstream games" ("Big Titles" from "Big Companies") to what is known as the "indie games".

I still play 1 or 2 "big-scale" games that I really like sometimes, but I've become much more accepting towards those independent games.

They are smaller in scale, yes, and their graphics are not as good, yes - but their gameplay and the experience they offer is definitely not inferior to those so called blockbuster titles. In fact, I can honestly say that the quality of these games are just as good, if not better!

And most important, they are DIRT CHEAP. Highly recommend the following titles if you haven't tried them out:

- Plants VS Zombies
- World of Goo
- Braid

Each of these can be brought for less than $10 (Some $5 and even $2!) if you know where to look, and I have nothing but praises for them. They really offer great value for their price.

Sign up accounts at both Steam and Impulse and get them!

Nowadays, I'm rather relucant to spend $50+ bucks to buy one of those "big production". Somehow, I'll get tired of them rather quickly... and it's really a waste.

...

Or perhaps it's due to how life has changed.

Unlike the past, I can no longer spend 100 hours grinding my RPG characters, and I can no longer spend 80 hours on the quest for world domination every so often.

I guess this explains why I've now been playing more "indie" games.

...

Anyway, here's a video of Braid, one of the best selling games right now. It's available now for $2.50USD, and I just spent the entire day playing it. LOL~

Highly recommend for those who love some brain exercise. The level design is simply ingenious.

Edit (27th Dec): OMG... The Final Level of this game... simply out of this world! It will blow your mind!!!
