Retro: I'm unsure if you mean developed recently but with a retro style or just an old 8-bit game or something from that general era.
Indie: Wow, it's impossible to pick just one. I'm gonna say Limbo though since it's the one that I played the most recently which was superb.
Casual (Free online games): Well the free games that I've sunk my teeth deepest into would be NukeZone and Dungeons & Dragons Online, but I wouldn't call any of those casual. The best casual games that I can think of would probably be Plants vs. Zombies, but that's not free.
