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

very well produced time based platformer, plenty of levels, secrets, jokes, references, and deaths
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)
O-M-G
amazing atmosphere and a fresh concept! on PC you rotate 90 degrees, while the wii version stops time for you to rotate arbitrarily
coincidentally both things with the word 'shatter' are next to each other, this one has various twists on arkanoid, good music, good visuals
zero gravity space fps, pretty cool, looks good
a more serious train sim vs trainz
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
wild west 3rd person shooter on the arcade side with various levels of teamwork depending on the game mode
cool looking strategy with a world somewhat like tron and reboot, has a whole separate multiplayer game called multiwinia
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
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
nice music, interesting gameplay, really pleasant
a 3rd person 'suicidal ninja robot' multiplayer action game with interesting strategies & mechanics, plus nice abstract art and level design
interesting puzzle with elements of tetris that loosely ties to the music that's playing
sticky gooey platformer, one of the things Edmund worked on before Super Meat Boy
well this is practically mainstream, but still very interesting, good art, time travel mechanics, platforming
kind of a ball physics based race platformer
from the devs that made The Ship comes... an evolved and streamlined version of the mystery hunt FPS concept
interesting puzzle platformer where you interact with your past and future self (like Braid?)
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
motorcycle trials platformer
3rd person from above sort of action shooter light platformer thing, pretty neat
point & click puzzle adventure with very nice art
surreal and abstract point & click puzzle type thing with pleasant art & sounds
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
it may be one of those move the blocks to connect the pipes/gears/etc games, but the steampunk look & feel is extremely polished
decent looking competent tower defense game
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)
a pleasant looking rolling/ball racing platformer
partially non realtime puzzle platform thing, nice art, fun music
sci-fi tank tactical shooter type game, similar visual style as the tron universe
playing it is better than watching it
