Here at Diehard GameFAN, we tend to have an emphasis on games put out by smaller and/or independent publishers. This is because the majority of gamers and gaming sites tend to ignore these titles due to a low advertising budget or simply because they aren’t “name” companies. This is a shame and because so many gamers don’t look past the “A Level” titles, they miss out on a lot of great games. With 2011 upon us, I’ve taken it upon myself to put together a list of ten indie games you should be excited for this year, if you aren’t already. Now most of these are PC titles, simply because it’s easier (and cheaper) to publisher a title for a PC than for a console, but even if you mainly play video games with a controller in hand, that doesn’t mean you should discount any of these games.
