In Hollywood and the music industry sometimes the biggest, well-funded film or album isn't always the best. More often than not, great screenplay adaptations or influential records are the product of individual creativity. Hence the treasure trove of indie films and underground tunes that can be found with just a little bit of digging.
Such is the case in the gaming realm as well, where independent developers are responsible for hundreds of unique, fun-to-play titles. These indie games do not garner nearly as much press as their big company counterparts, and that is to be expected.
Indie Game Magazine offers news and reviews on independent games from multiple genres, giving you a heads-up on the latest games created in basements and back offices all over the world. The site itself has a nice, easy interface but appears to be somewhat new. The reviews are a bit shorter than some other sites, but the nice part is most games are reviewed by a group of reviewers - each providing their own perspective.
The forums are not very active, but I assume that may pick up as the site starts to gain a little steam. My favorite part of Indie Game Magazine's website has to be the Demo Download section, which points you towards dozens of free demos!
