Minecraft, followed by Amnesia: the Dark Descent. If 2011 comes up with another two sleeper hits like these it'll be another great year for the indies.

I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MBIES 1N IT!!!1

I'll grant it has few artistic merits but it just wonderfully summed-up the 'here's a game go have fun' ethos.

There's gonna be a lot of minecraft coming up.... (though I could be wrong)

Though I'd say Amnesia: The Dark Decent. Scary... very Very Scary....
I second Amnesia. Only played a small portion of it but the atmosphere of it was amazing.

*epic voice* SUPER MEAT BOY!

I can't get enough of that game even though I'm stuck at 6-5 Omega too. I can never get past the part where you jump DOWN from the ledge after grabbing the key. I don't even want to know what the dark world version of the world is.

The Path in the indie horror bundle on steam. The main game of walking around a forest for hours learning about your character through inner monoulge and movements is so well executed and the fact it is telling a huge half of the story without words is certainly something to celebrate it for.

I would say Angry Birds, but the entire concept waxs used by many flash games in like, '05 soooooooo I go for Super Meat Boy. AtDD was very good, but I feel it got enough press to push it out of the compitetion. Well....the same could be said for SMB but it's rare in this day and age to make a game damn near impossible and market that as it's selling point....besides Demon'sssssss Souls DAMMIT SHUT UP.

This is why you think ill of it.

The basic version IS just a huge timesink and, at least for me, got boring pretty quickly. The full version with its infinite worlds, dangerous nights, redstone wiring, and amazing random terrain terrain is on a whole other level.

Well i usually don´t waste my time on Indie games, not with so many AAA/AA or A titels every year and no money limet. And i dislike some of the more pretentious people playing them so i stay away from the usually halfbaked products Indie games are.

That said i kinda enjoyed that dorritos crash course game they released for free, mostly because they understand crap should be free.

None of the indie games I saw interested me. I don't like horror, so that means no Amnesia. I've not interested in new 2D platformers (but if indie devs made some 3D ones, I'm a sucker for that genre), so that kills a lot of choices. And I'm positively sure I'd hate Minecraft. So...

Shank looks interesting. I haven't played it, though.

I'm just going to say World of Goo. Because it's the only indie game I played last year, and it's still just as good as it was in 2008 (or was it 2007?).

Exactly. I tried the "classic" version early and thought "meh' it's ok I guess. Then I jumped on the paid version near the end of the Alpha and BOOM! four hours gone just like that.
