    I was kind of curious when I saw Joe Danger in the article picture. It was an OK game, but I didn't think there was anything particularly special about it.

    Having just downloaded tonight, I will also add my HIGH recommendations for: Art Style: Light Trax Chronos Twins DX <<< the most awesome game you've never even heard of.

    I would have liked to have seen Binding of Isaac on this list. I've put more time into that game than skyrim!

    Does Ico or Shadow of the Collossus count? I think back when they were made, Team Ico was an indie developer. Also, Castle Crashers, PixleJunk Shooter are sweet and I would personally consider Rayman Origins to be indie even if it was developed by a big name like Ubisoft it went so far under the radar that it deserves to be an underground indie hit. Personally, the best "indie" game of all time is also my favorite game of all time: The Legend of Dragoon.

    Fez is not a game... Is a nice experiment, but has totally no replay value and it doesn't even have some sort of challenge. Great idea, great art... but not a game... Seriously, Didn't put "the binding of Isaac in the list? PLayed it for a month... Still playing it. And ... as you put it there... Fez is better game? No amnesia... Not Orcs Must Die. Sorry, but MINECRAFT is 1!? WHY!? because is original?? Fez is as original as that game! Because it sold? Being overated not make it the best indie ever... Like I said... Me, friends of mine, people i talked with... PLayed B of Isaac a lot more than the HYPER MODERN RETROGAME minecraft. PLayed more even games that are in the bottom of the list than minecraft.

    Saying Fez isn't a game is like saying Mario isn't, or Portal for that matter. Apparently you have no idea what defines a game. While I do believe that Minecraft is most definitely overrated, the game is overrated for a reason. "People like it because it's fun and addictive than most others." Simple as that.
