Soon, there will be a glorious deathmatch to decide the cream of the crop from 2013’s independently developed video games. That’s because the Independent Games Festival just announced its nominees for the awards that they give out annually to the most accomplished indie titles. Some of them aren’t out yet. But others are. Here’s how you can play the games vying to be the best of the best.
Maybe you’ve heard the buzz about Jazzpunk, The Stanley Parable or Papers, Please. Maybe all of those names are totally new to you. But, chances are, if a game’s made its way to the nominee list for the IGF’s Seumas McNally Grand Prize, it’s a pretty special experience that you should try. (Check out what Kotaku has written about The Stanley Parable, Don’t Starve, Jazzpunk, Papers, Please and Device 6.)
Most of the Grand Prize nominees can be played right now. Here’s where you can find them:

Okie Dokie, seeing as the article doesn’t have them (for whatever reason, cue assorted repeated groans), and I feel strangely obligated to support indies because I must force my love of them on everyone else, here are some links because it’s lunchtime and I clearly have nothing else to do (or am procrastinating).
The page for the IGF Finalists
Device 6
Dominique Pamplemousse
Don’t Starve (my personal favourite)
Jazzpunk
Papres, Please
The Stanley Parable
and of course, on Steam etc. etc.
Or, a much better list than my other reply is in the original US site’s article: http://kotaku.com/you-can-play-some-of-the-best-indie-games-right-now-1496562460

“Here’s where you can find them.” Aaaaand it’s gone.
While this is getting attention… any indie local multiplayer games? All this SteamOS, Steam sales business has kicked off my pc gaming again. So I’ve resurrected an old pc and bought a bunch of games.
I’ve just got my 4 xbox controllers all hooked up to the pc now so I’m wondering if you guys could suggest some good multiplayer games? I’ve got a bunch of guys coming round on the weekend to drink beer and play games. We’re after more vs then Coop games though. Play a fair bit of Speed Runners and Hidden in Plain sight on Xbox Indie games. And have fond memories of Liero about 10 years ago!
