The brave souls behind the Indie Games Festival have released a rather exhaustive list of their entrants for 2007’s competitions, breaking the previous years amount of entrants by a large margin. The list is huge honestly, so I’m not even going to try and list them all, but I will cover my 5 favorites and then I’ll see about dropping a few bones in Vegas on the outcome.

Playthrough’s 5 favorites and link to the huge list after the jump..

Whew this flew under our radar. A few days ago, GarageGames bigwig Mark Frohnmayer announced that they would be canceling the Indie Games Convention which they host yearly as an alternative to more mainstream gaming conventions such as the GDC and E3 (R.I.P). The reasons stated for the cancelation are somewhat odd to be honest, basically the worry is that, with IGC approaching soon, GarageGames would be unable to deliver a quality event while still fulfilling the products which they’ve planned for the rest of this year, such as updates to the Torque Shader Engine, Torque X, Torque Game Builder, and Constructor. I’m sure they have their reasons, but it’s still a bit disappointing that they couldn’t find a way to throw more resources or bring in someone/some company to organize this for them, but indie business comes first I guess? We’ll wait and see if another entity can pick up the torch and run with it, or if another IGC appears when Garage has the time and manpower to pull it off.
