IGF2008 Entrants Published
(via TIG Source) The list of entrants to the 2008 Independent Games Festival competition has been published and boy, there sure are a many of them. The count is 173 and there naturally are some games that we all know in that list. Ti name a few, Understanding Games -flash-games about game design (which I wrote an entry on my reserach blog “All in the Game” a while ago), The Night Journey, which was presented by guys from USC in DiGRA2007, the multiplayer FPS Penguins Arena of which I wrote a short feature on, as I did on the 3D CRPG Esenthel and on the isometric strategic action RPG Depths of Peril as well as many titles that I’ve planned to write a feature or a review on, such as:
- Fez,
- Gish 2,
- Global Conflicts: Palestine,
- Penumbra: Overture,
- Schizoid,
- Virtual Villagers 2 and
- Vox Imperium to name a few.
So it is going to be a very busy Autumn, in a good kind of way: I will be introducing the IGF2008 entrants all Autumn while continuing my series of IGF2007 finalist reviews. Stay tuned is all I can say. BTW, the IGF2008 entrant list is so huge that I cannot imagine to be able to pick out every interesting item on there, so if you see anything interesting, let me know by posting a comment and I’ll write a feature about the game.
