The finalists for the 2008 Independent Games Festival have been officially announced, with twenty independent titles spanning six categories.
Noteworthy are the four music-based games (Audiosurf, Synaesthete, Fret Nice, and Cinnamon Beats), indicating a stronger emphasis on the rhythm genre than in previous years. Other notable finalists include Kokoromi's Fez, and Petri Purho's Crayon Physics Deluxe. All finalists will be playable at the Game Developers Conference in February 2008, and the winners will be announced at the IGF Awards Ceremony during GDC.

I'm interested in the 'Crayons Physics Deluxe' title. Sounds like a rather creative game. I'm sure that they all are however.
This title also intrigues me 'Synaesthete'. I want to play one.

Thanks for helping me find something else to help my kids in their career endeavors. That's why I love the web soo much can never get to everything or find stuff on my own, but working together, we can find lots of things. So many things to do and see, sooooo little time!
