Indie/Non-Mainstream Games To Check Out On PC
here's a list of games that deserve to be checked out, at least in video form
some of them have demos & some are available on other platforms like XBLA or WiiWare
all of these i've tried & own on steam
1. Super Meat Boy

very well produced time based platformer, plenty of levels, secrets, jokes, references, and deaths

2. Osmos

absolutely amazing! great music, great feel, & still is relaxing even during the really hard parts (i managed to complete the game before the update that made it easier, spent 17.5hrs total playtime)

3. The Polynomial: Space of the Music

O-M-G

4. And Yet It Moves

amazing atmosphere and a fresh concept! on PC you rotate 90 degrees, while the wii version stops time for you to rotate arbitrarily

5. Shatter

coincidentally both things with the word 'shatter' are next to each other, this one has various twists on arkanoid, good music, good visuals

6. Shattered Horizon

zero gravity space fps, pretty cool, looks good

7. RailWorks 2: Train Simulator

a more serious train sim vs trainz

8. AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!: A Reckless Disregard for Gravity

technically a base jumping game, but in some kind of sci-fi setting, complete with alternate paths, target scores, 'hugs', 'kisses', close calls, and flipping off your protesters

9. Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West

wild west 3rd person shooter on the arcade side with various levels of teamwork depending on the game mode

10. Darwinia

cool looking strategy with a world somewhat like tron and reboot, has a whole separate multiplayer game called multiwinia

11. I-Fluid

clever concept, you're a water drop in a home going from point A to point B, avoiding obstacles like cloths, long drops, or slopes

12. Eufloria

what used to be known as Dyson, this is a 'tower strategy' as i'm calling it (like mushroom wars or galcon fusion) with a very interesting and pleasant look & feel

13. Bit.Trip Beat

nice music, interesting gameplay, really pleasant

14. Plain Sight

a 3rd person 'suicidal ninja robot' multiplayer action game with interesting strategies & mechanics, plus nice abstract art and level design

15. Chime

interesting puzzle with elements of tetris that loosely ties to the music that's playing

16. Gish

sticky gooey platformer, one of the things Edmund worked on before Super Meat Boy

17. Braid

well this is practically mainstream, but still very interesting, good art, time travel mechanics, platforming

18. Spectraball

kind of a ball physics based race platformer

19. Bloody Good Time

from the devs that made The Ship comes... an evolved and streamlined version of the mystery hunt FPS concept

20. The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom

interesting puzzle platformer where you interact with your past and future self (like Braid?)

21. Lucidity

it may be lucasarts, but this feels very fresh and different, it's a kind of mixture of platforming, lemmings, and tetris, complete with great art & music

22. Trials 2 Second Edition

motorcycle trials platformer

23. Madballs in... Babo: Invasion

3rd person from above sort of action shooter light platformer thing, pretty neat

24. Machinarium

point & click puzzle adventure with very nice art

25. Windosill

surreal and abstract point & click puzzle type thing with pleasant art & sounds

26. FLOCK!

it may be published by capcom, but the dev is still 'indie' in a sense, you control a ufo that's trying to capture various animals

27. Cogs

it may be one of those move the blocks to connect the pipes/gears/etc games, but the steampunk look & feel is extremely polished

28. Defense Grid: The Awakening

decent looking competent tower defense game

29. Puzzle Dimension

it may be a puzzle game, but it has a solid 3d engine that looks pretty nice (the swedish devs come from thedarkness/riddick/battlefield, it's almost like they're testing the engine on a small project before licensing it or making a large game)

30. Gumboy: Crazy Adventures

a pleasant looking rolling/ball racing platformer

31. Toki Tori

partially non realtime puzzle platform thing, nice art, fun music

32. Tank Universal: Challenger Eight

sci-fi tank tactical shooter type game, similar visual style as the tron universe

33. Beat Hazard

playing it is better than watching it
