Whew! We’ve got lots going on today. Aside from the fact that E3 will officially kick off this afternoon, of which we have four reporters on the ground scouring for the latest indie news — not an easy feat at E3, mind you –, we’ve also been drooling over the latest Nintendo press conference (because we’re geeks too!) and will continue said drooling at Sony’s latest today. Finally, as a footie fan, I’ve also been trying my very bestest to work in some World Cup games this morning (super bummed Ivory Coast tied this morning). So I do apologize if news is a bit more sporadic today than usual, I’m doing the best I can in a very busy time.

Anyway, come hell or high water this tournament will not stop. As I mentioned yesterday we’ve reached the quarter finals for which today is the first match up between Shattered Horizon and Love.

First up is Shattered Horizon. If I’ve mentioned this game once I’ve mentioned it a hundred times on this site. Shattered Horizon simply set the benchmarks for not only indie FPS games, but also the genre as a whole. There’s a reason why this game has reached the quarter finals.

Not to be pushed aside, however, is Love the wonderous indie MMO. I’m not sure how many of you have any background knowledge of creating MMOs, but it’s absolutely one of the hardest game development projects to undertake. The fact that Love is an indie game is extremely impressive in its own right.

Only one can make it to the semi-finals. Which will it be? Shattered Horizon vs. Love!

Check out the quarter final bracket!
