I don't know about you guys, but I quickly become bored with the $50-shiny-graphics-yawn-inducing-gameplay type games they feed us these days.. For the last couple of years I've been keeping an eye on indie games, and I must say, there are some real gems out there.
Like this one for example - Viva Caligula! http://tigsource.com/articles/2007/10/02/viva-caligula#comments - complete with mic integration, so when you yell SPARTAAAAAA! into the mic our wacky friend Caligula builds up RAMPAGE MODE!
Check out this site http://www.tigsource.com/ (one of dozens) and rekindle the 'fun' in your gaming. Yeah, remember when gaming was challenging and fun? Or you could always drop a chunk of money just to say 'neat' a few times and then shelf the game in it's glossy box with all the others (remember, Portal started out as an indie game)
Of course there are probably people here who've gone through every one of these indie titles and websites - and I'm proud of you for that - but there are most certainly those that continually bump their heads up against CoD4, Halo and Madden with their unfailing moth-to-flame tendencies. There's a whole underground universe out there - explore it!
