For all those who think that the best games that 
came out this year were all sequels Game Tunnel presents a different look at the 
best of 2004.&amp;nbsp; Game Tunnel has put together its list of the top 10 indie games 
this year, and it is sure to have a few gems that you probably haven't even 
heard.&amp;nbsp; 
While mainstream gaming has seemingly given up on 
innovation and embraced instead rehashing old ideas over and over again until 
you can barely t...

The first is to award a few awards (how about 10?) for things that probably 
wouldn't be noticed otherwise. The second is to award a best of in some categories 
where we didn't feel we had enough solid competitors to do a full best five 
games of the category breakdown. Be...

2004 was a great year for Indie Sim games.&amp;nbsp; 
Just for comparisons, in 2003 we combined the Strategy, Sim, RPG, and Sports 
Categories into a single &amp;quot;other category.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; This we have broken most of 
those categories out into their own categories (the rest will show up in the 
special awards category).&amp;nbsp; Sim was especially strong itself, showing that 
Indie Sim games can match up to and in many cases beat the many mainstream...

If there is one thing that Indie gaming does better 
than anyone else, it is the puzzle genre.&amp;nbsp; This years finalists are no 
different, as they represent a great group of puzzle games.&amp;nbsp; This year's 
puzzle category again was the most difficult to rate and multiple times we had 
deadlocked into giving out two number one awards.&amp;nbsp; However, we wanted to 
finish with just one champion, so eventually we had to break the deadlock, which

platform games, think Super Mario Bros. (Charlie II for indie purists), or 
action games that are heavier on the storyline and lighter on the action (those 
that have RPG aspects, but aren't really RPGs).&amp;amp;nbsp; Last year the adventure
