E3 may be smaller. E3 may have cut out lots of the smaller developers. E3 may have excluded tons of journalists of gaming professions, but that doesn't mean E3 doesn't have any indie games to show. The Indicade gives E3's token indie developers a chance to shine amidst the reduced glitz and glamor of the new show. The elecen games were hand selected by the International Festival of Independent Games and the International Game Developers Association for a little floor space at the hanger. Hit the jump for the full rundown of games.

Cloud is amazing, though oddly dated for this show, and Everyday Shooter, well that game makes me feel all fuzzy inside and not in a I-just-landed-in-Denver sort of way









Comments
I can't wait to see an update for Everyday Shooter. I'll be the first one buying it.
Cloud is one of the three That Game Company titles being made for the PSN right? Looks interesting I think.
Thanks for the links - awesome.
I'm not sure if they are porting Cloud or not, they have had a PC version up for downloading on their site for a while now.
What is going on in that picture? I really like it.
To answer Xerxes7, the picture is of a young freedom fighter from the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. The amazing thing about '56 is it was really started by teens and college students who had just had enough of Soviet oppression. This particular shot is of a young woman who looks a lot like my Mother, who was a freedom fighter at the ripe old age of 14. She was one of the definite inspirations behind Freedom Fighter 56!, my game that was part of IndieCade.
