The only indie games I have are Groov and I Made A Game With Zombies in It, but both are recommended.

This is the best quick look of all time.
 
Even better than the New Super Mario Bros. quick look!
 
edit: Streets of Fury actually looked like a really funny game.

i adore when Jeff takes the drivers seat for music making, even for something as simple as ezmuze.

Those are in the actual live arcade. These are the Live Indie Games, which are created by just, like, a dude. Or two. As opposed to World of Goo's five (five, right?), I guess. And the Zombies game is made by the same group that made The Dishwasher.
 
 I guess it's hard to explain, and it's probably because there's such a slim line. I guess it has to do with budget? watevr

Ok, I now expect one of these every 1-2 months, then community games of the year along side your regular hotness. Do it.

In Z0MB1ES, the theme returns at the end for the epic outro; the whole song is a wicked concerto of 7 movements.  It's not brilliant, but you can download it here.
 
Anyway, thanks for the ...er... quasi-praise, though, I guess :-P

Streets of Fury has made me realize we need new games in the classic MK  style. It's ridiculous, and AWESOME! And seems like, in the right hands, could be cool in an ironic way.

They didn't even show the Streets of Fury combo videos. Believe it or not, it actually has aerial raves.

So it looks like the Indie Games concept was a catastrophic failure. The only one of those that didn't look like absolute trash was the Johnny Platform bit.

I think it's cool that the creators can have fun making these games, but none of them seem much better than stuff you can play on shockwave.com for free.
