i've enjoyed tons of indies. i'm also going to use the more liberal usage of "indie" and include the small scale projects that are sometimes made by bigger developers.

just a blanket statement on why i like these titles. you'll probably notice there are a lot of puzzle games in that list and then a lot of platformer games. these are my two favorite genres and AAA just don't cater to these genres much anymore. i've got nothing againt the FPS genre and only some hatred for sandbox games but that's where nearly all AAA games get made these days. as such i find myself skipping most AAA titles and just playing indies these days.
