Um, Frankenstein is the doctor that created the monster. The monster never actually had a name.

Yeah I know I am. I don't think I've played a single good indie game so far other than Minecraft. I'll happily take my yearly CoD, AC, etc.... over any indie game. No Man's Sky is the only indie game that I'm looking forward to at this point.

So don't buy the bad ones and only support the good. Problem solved.

Don't just lump them all together and think EShop title for $5 = trash.

 

What are the standards anyways? Wiimusic? Nintendo land? Carnival games? WiiPlay? Quantum Theory?  Spending millions? 

Im genuinely curious since you seem to be the one wih the answers.

With the ratio of bad to good, finding the good ones was like a needle in a haystack, especially when just about all the ones I heard hyped and praised failed to impress.

And I'd certainly rank the likes of Nintendoland and Wii Play well above the average indie game.

I never claimed to have all the answers, I'm just sharing my opinion.

Half Life 2 and Left for Dead are indie games ;)

Test (Buddy issue)

Strange, every time I come to VGchartz, my buddy shows a new comment in the thread.  But no new comments, and even after I posted this, it still shows a new comment (even after refresh).  Obnoxious.
