LOS ANGELES—The past few years of the Electronic Entertainment Expo have seen a surge in small-fry and indie game projects peppering the otherwise overblown, super-sized show floor. Major companies like Sony and Microsoft have begun adding indie kiosks to their giant displays, and next to those are indie-specific showcases that seem to only up the weirdness ante.
To wit: the Indiecade Festival has been running an E3 booth for some time, while the Media Indie Exchange party takes a more informal, rooftop approach to helping gaming fans and creators meet up and play new, weird stuff. We hit both of those events with Ars' rockin' videographer Jennifer Hahn in tow, and we found no shortage of compelling, weird games.
Click above to see footage of the following games, which we're linking here in case you want to know more: In Tune, GNOG, Wattam, Maquisard, Royals, Sunset, Tribal and Error, Curiouser and Curiouser, Velocibox, Butt Sniffin' Pugs, Typoman, and Beyond Eyes.
