GI writes: "There is something cathartic about certain action games. Whether it is blowing the heads off of zombies or just hacking the local goblin tribe down to size, I am slightly uncertain. Perhaps it fulfills a primitive urge to destroy things when society states otherwise. Maybe it is a guy thing to like to explore the countryside and destroy all life that hunts the protagonist. Through some simple indie gaming research, I discovered a neat little game that could almost be considered an homage to action games. Thus, if you like to kick massive butt, check out Iji, an indie game created by Daniel Remar."
I (Robin Ek, TGG) just found out that Daniel Remar has released v1.7 of his super awesome action/adventure/platformer "Iji". So give the game a try folks ;) It's 100% free!
Haywire Magazine's Taylor Hidalgo explores why games have the opportunity to tell rich stories that other media can't, and why they often don't.
Reviews of and links to four free games from back before Braid, when most indie games were free; the games are Cave Story, Karoshi, Death Worm, and Iji. Full disclosure: I wrote this post.
