Indie Dependent

For me, and many others out there, gaming isn't just about triple-A blockbuster experiences. In the wake of a few industry shifts, including the rise of mobile titles via iOS, and the popular spread of indie games thanks to digital stores like Steam, we're seeing ever increasing amounts of games released on the market.

Titles of all different shapes and sizes are being launched across a plethora of different platforms, and it's a shift we can't ignore. There's so many great games coming to the multitude of formats already on the market.

Hell, there's even an explosion of formats hitting the scene at the moment, with Android powered devices like Ouya, Gamestick, Project Shield and Razer Edge all making waves in recents weeks. Couple that with a strong existing community on PC (plus Mac and Linux) who have long been celebrating all things independent, and an increased effort from the major platforms to tap into the same market, and we're talking about a seriously exciting time for fans of new and unusual gaming experiences.

Whilst we at Gamereactor are still committed to covering the biggest releases coming to the biggest platforms, first and foremost we're gamers, and as such we're not going to ignore the continued expansion of the indie scene. But to do a good job, and to make sure that the best games don't slip through the net, we're going to need your help.

The following thread is a link to the Gamereactor forum, where we're hoping you'll let us know if you find a game worth talking about. For our part we'll try and keep on top of great new games as and when they appear, but the back catalogue of quality titles is extensive, so if you've stumbled upon a rare treat, share it here.

There's so many great games out there, and sadly not enough hours in the day to give them all the attention that they deserve. We're going to try and keep you abreast of important developments and essential titles, but that goes both ways. With your help we can make Gamereactor a goto place for finding out about interesting indie titles. They're part of the landscape now, and together we can make sure that the view is as beautiful as it can possibly be.
