Destroying what had almost become an annual tradition (
mostly due to lack of time and alarmingly rising anxiety levels, I'm afraid), I will not go on and post dozens of links to all those lovely
AGS Awards nominees, winners, runner-ups and games. Sorry for that. I'll just repost the results as
SSH compiled them over at the excellent and aptly named
AGS blog. Oh, well, guess I'll just throw in a few links for your downloading pleasure, remind everyone that what follows is a selection of some of the finest freeware-indie games around, and suggest you all have a look at the
AGS Awards Ceremony. Ah, yes, the winners:

There are some great looking games there. Do you think it's worth reviewing a couple for the mag? Oh, and feel free to post a link to this blog in our forum pages.
ReplyDeleteWell, these are excellent games indeed, but frankly I'm not sure there's a lot of retro feeling. Well, besides the QfG II remake that is. I could cover that mind...
ReplyDeleteI thought that [A Second Face - The Eye of Geltz is watching us] looked pretty impressive.
ReplyDeleteAlso artistically intriguing I'd add.
ReplyDeleteYes, feel free to post a link to my blog EVERYWHERE! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out, Mr Gnome
Already painted your web address all over central Athens deas SSH. Hopefully new riots will get inspired by it and demand AGS classes for the masses.
ReplyDeleteI really need to play some of these sooner rather than later...
ReplyDeleteHope your anxieties start to wane soon, Gnome.
You really do my friend, and I really do need to relax a bit. Oh, well...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely quite a show that was..and fun(and two characters from hhgtg appeared so that made it more fun!!) However not too much of a retro games, yes.
ReplyDeleteThe stars of HHGttG were indeed radiant. They might also be considered quite a bit on the retro side of things too...
