Independent Games Festival finalists announced

OK, so my hand has been slapped by various unhappy readers who take offence at the gamesblog's lack of indie games coverage.

However, to appease you and to inform folks in general about the latest from the big kahuna of independent games festivals, the finalists have been announced for the IGF. There are 20 in all, none of whom have had funding from any biz or org. Oh the digital places we'll go!

Gamesblog is particularly taken with Gish, a rag tag which cost only $5K and took a mere 8 months to make (about the same amount of time that Argonaut was given by EA to develop Catwoman. Unfair). Download it here.

Although most of the finalists hail from North America (a truly depressing fact), Legion Arena reprazents the UK. Go the boys from Epsom!
