The results are in for the 2012 Independent Games Festival. Hundreds of entrants were narrowed down considerably, and what we're left with is a delightful collection of very different games. The finalists for the Seumas McNally Grand Prize are:
Be sure to read over the finalists for the other Main Competition categories -- plus the honorable mentions -- sometime before the winners are named during the Game Developers Conference early next month. Consider this list a cheat sheet of notable games if you don't regularly follow the indie scene.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Like the time I was trying to cut time by jumping from a high place, but it was too high and the narrator said that I may have broken some bones and the landing. Recent games like that may be Bastion. Would love to see more experimentation and application of those concepts into larger scope games.

Unfortunately we've all had to do it at least once before. Just take a shower and have a few shots. Not necessarily in that order.
Its strange how the same games are allowed to be entered for multiple years, FEZ won an award in 2008
