I haven't been to TIGsource in about forever, let alone read their frontpages, but I found these awesome indie games there. Also, sorry if you knew all of these games were being created, it's just that they're all so new and amazing to me. lol
Dust: This one is my absolute favorite thing I saw on TIGsource. It's created with XNA, and because of it I might start using that.
...
On second thought, no. I have absolutely no idea how to C# code.
Mega Man 2.5D: WOW. Just, WOW. Just when I believed that you couldn't blend 3D and 2D together and still have something good, I was wrong.
PaperWorld: Heh, I just think it's kinda cool and definitely new. I don't know what the point of it is but hey, it's neat.
Paper Moon: I've played the gamma, but I haven't got around to the full thing. I love the graphics and the gameplay is decent, but supported most by the 3D elements. Nonetheless, a really fun game. (Sorry, don't know how to embed Vimeos.)
Braid: An awe inspiring game with a unique twist to gameplay, topped with overly stunning graphics. I need to buy this one day. (Stupid Vimeo.)
What do you think? (Besides me not not knowing how to embed Vimeos. -_-)

Dust looks amazing!
Mega Man 2.5D - That isn't an actual game That trailer is a 'mockup' of what the game could look like. So unfortunately that game doesn't exist right now.
PaperWorld looks interesting.
I've never played Braid but I've heard a bit about it. Is it any good?
The Megaman 2.5D game was just a 3D animation made with Maya and not a real game, unfortunately. I can't help but think that this is the kind of Megaman game we should be seeing on WiiWare. Braid is very clever and well made.
You're missing out on a lot if you don't check the other indie gaming sites. At least subscribe to www.indiegames.com/blog/ (less selective than tigsource but in a good way)
There was one video recently that blew me away: Shadow Physics
There's something about Dust that's just so... enchanting maybe? The enviroment reminds me a tad like "The Hobbit"s. The effects are marvelous and the art is superb. Sorta like The Hobbit but 2d.
And I can't be more impressed and fastinated with the author of this game, as he goes so far to work on an animated movie too! However, I think the game is based on his WIP movie. Get this, he did animations for Jazz JackRabbit, but got laid off because EpicMegaGames was losing funds. I'm absolutely amazed at how far he's willing to go, because of his passion for his game. Here's his site. http://www.noogy.com/
Bummer, I thought Mega Man 2.5D was really going to happen. Hopefully it will...
Braid looks really cool, but I haven't got it yet. I'm glad it's come to PC; I might get it. I found a trailer here, but it's only a link. http://vimeo.com/4083982?pg
Nim: I might subscribe sometime, but in summary, I DO like Indie games, sure, but I'm not over the moon for them. I just stopped by and checked what was new.
That shadow game looks superb. Another mix of 2D and 3D that actually works, and works well! I'm impressed. And Action Fist looks very nice too, but I've already seen it on Klikcast.
Blueberry Garden was finally released a couple of days ago, I intended to front page it, until it turned out to be a bitter disappointment when played. Shame!

So because you didn't personally enjoy it, you didn't feel the need to share the news with the rest of the community?
It may have just been awful, disregarding a large degree of personal preference. There are certain games you try that remind you of those giant waste-of-money modern art displays in parks. Utterly worthless.
Not saying that game is, of course. I've yet to play it.

that's pretty sad really , would have been good news. I haven't heard of this before, until now.

Pretty much!
Also sorry alastair, for non-klik related stuff I try to exercise a bit of quality control (which is always going to be subjective) or there'd be a good 10-20 random indie game posts a day flooding out the klik-related events.
