Middle of the week match up!

But first, let’s update you on the most recent match up to have ended. It would appear that Love and effectively eliminated Adanaxis from moving onto the round of 16. Congratulations to Eskil and his incredibly creative MMO, Love.

OK, now onto today’s mega-match up I say mega-match up because the two games today are two of the biggest in the indie industry. It’s kind of a shame that they are competing against each other. Still though, the tournament must go on, so to say.

Up first, we have Cave Story, the brilliant exploratory platformer that has been the mainstay of indie gaming for years. This is typically, the indie game people refer to as a must-play for any platforming fan, and rightfully so. Cave Story is a great game, that’s both challenging and a lot of fun. There are few people who don’t like this game.

Up next, however, we have recent newcomer Torchlight. While not entirely innovative Torchlight has succeeded in being the best action RPG to have been released since Diablo 2 back in the mid 90′s. While it doesn’t feature any sort of online, like Diablo 2 did, the game was still lauded by gamers and critics alike, including our own review.

So which will it be? Famed platformer or famed action RPG? Only one can go to the next level!
