Joe Danger

The 2010 Independent Games Festival Finalists have been announced. I had a look through the nominations for the coveted Seumas McNally Grand Prize. Previous winners include the excellent Crayon Physics Deluxe. Independent games are made by small teams of independent developers. Because of this a lot of independent games can lack in areas like graphics, sound and presentation - especially when compared against commercial offerings. However they almost always have a great gameplay element to them. Unfortunately that isn't always enough for casual gamers who can't look past such obvious flaws. So when an independent game does come along with great sound, graphics, presentation you have to sit up and take notice. From the leaked gameplay footage I've seen - Joe Danger ticks all of these boxes. It's set for release in the spring for PC/ xbox/ PSN and will support splitscreen multiplayer. I for one can not wait.
