E307: Games of the Indicade
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
