Though the LG awards show took place Thursday night, the full list of IndieCade winners (including the Audience and Developer Choice awards) was recently emailed to us indie media. We are extremely excited to see these (now) big names up on such a list but likewise surprised that a number of other games we had pegged to win top honors (AntiChamber anyone?) were absent from the list. In any case, many thanks to the judges and staff at IndieCade as well as the developers themselves for crafting some fantastic gaming experiences that give us hope for a brighter future filled with absolutely no work and tons of play.
