Indie Games, Something Learned From the Austin GDC

For the people who are out there saying Games Are Not Art, fuck you. Nothing personal. I don't know your address. I'm not going to sneak attack you or wait for you after work. But I think you don't know what you're talking about and therefore not able to have an opinion about it.

I'm not out to say that ALL games are art. We all know that you can't lump everything together and have the one size fits all mentality. There are those crapper games just like there are those crapper movies. But to go out and say that Games cannot be an artform. Those people are full of shit.

Here are three games I recently found out about through being an attendee at Austin GDC. I don't want to say anything about the games. I hope that you will download and try each of them. I'll post my thoughts about them under the comments section so you can read about why I decided to post about these. They are all very simple games.
