The Independent Games Festival's Main Competition received 306 game entries, if you can believe that. I took it upon myself to scan the multi-page list for a few projects I could highlight, and whenever something popped out at me, I opened the game's landing page in a new tab.
Needless to say, by the end of the list Firefox was chugging. Quite a few of the indie games had been discussed here before by either Anthony, Joseph, or in some rare cases me -- those are the ones I won't be giving love to today. These are:

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:

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!
