This is going to be a bit of a rant. From time to time at DIYgamer, one of us contributing editors feels positive enough about a game to the point where we can share our findings and musings with all of ye, the indie community. We basically spotlight a title and attempt to break it [...]

Each Thursday Browser’s Best profiles a trio of web-based/flash indie games, selecting one of the three to spotlight as the week’s must play.
Join me for our inaugural Browser’s Best piece, where I try my hand at playing these little chunks of joy and subsequently recommend any I find with merit to you. Exciting! Well, perhaps not as exciting [...]

I’m sure most people have heard about this game, in one place or another, but it really does bare repeating. Ben There Dan That is an amazing game that needs to be experienced, especially if you at all enjoyed the classic Monkey Island or Sam and Max games. It’s funny, witty, and has one of [...]

Traditionally, on these weekly posts, we bring you classic downloadable indie titles as most people don’t really associate the word browser with “good games”. However, this week I bring you one of the rare exceptions to that rule: Dino Run, a classically styled arcade retro browser game (too many adjectives?).
Browser games, in recent years have [...]

Super Meat Boy is planned for release sometime relatively soon onto both the PC and, more excitedly, Nintendo’s WiiWare service. As many propably already know, SMB is a hugely anticipated game for the indie scene, up there with the likes of Braid and World of Goo before it. Unfortunately, it’s not actually available to play [...]

Sorry for the delay in this week’s “Weekend Freeplay” (normally I post this on Saturday), but this weekend has just been so hectic.

First allow me to wish everybody a belated Merry Christmas in addition to a happy New Year, which has yet to arrive. Each year, millions of people travel throughout the world and visit their families to partake in the holiday festivities. This can, unfortunately, be quite stressful. While your television, or home theatre may be [...]

God bless the indie developer otherwise known as Nifflas. Not only does he create awesome quasi-Metroid likes for everybody to enjoy, but he also releases them for free. Some of you may remember when we highlighted one of his more popular games — Knytt Stories — on our “Weekend Freeplay” a while ago. Well today, [...]

Have you ever dreamed about being a secret agent? The women (or men, I suppose), the guns, the international intrigue… it all seems so glamorous. Unfortunately, most video games that do feature secret agents don’t exactly portray them as such in our fantasies. Sure there’s the whole line of James Bond games, but even those [...]

One of the more visually interesting games to be submitted to IGF 2010 is a first-person explorer developed by students at DePaul University. In Devil’s Tuning Fork, children everywhere are falling into comas. One of them wakes up in an alternate reality and has the ability to free other children by finding their toys [...]
