Not that my two cents are worth two cents, but I ended up voting for Snapshot. It was either that or Gumboy. The other games just wasn’t very fun… Audiosurf was cool, but it only allowed me to try one song before it asked me to buy the game, so I didn’t get any useful experience out of it.

Yea…won’t run on that because it isn’t a dual core. If it did run it would be incredibly slow.

Raelz,

Goo probably didn’t run on account of system specs or Vista (if you are running vista) The game requires pretty high specs…but that’s on purpose, it was never intended for PC.

Ok I wrote a pretty big article about IGF (few thousand words), although not in english. I decided to vote for audiosurf, which got 90% in my review. If I couldnt vote for it, I would probably vote for snapshot or battleships

I couldn’t play all the games though - fret nice needs guitar and goo doesn’t star on my pc from mysterious reasons

What about Guitar Rising? A guitar hero where you plug in a real electric guitar as a controller? Yes please!

No, Audiosurf is like Deathchase, but that’s beside the point.

Ok, gonna check those games I didn’t play tomorrow, so far Ive played like half of them, haven’t played Clean Asia (shame on me, and I call myself a fan of cactus pfff), Goo! and few more. I wouldn’t vote for Aquaria if it was there, that game was just so big disappoitment for me, sorry. But thats offtopic. I think I would vote for Battleships from the games I played, but I really hate the learning curve, it’s like easy-peasy (on normal difficulty) one mission and then super-hard second one. Gonna write more tomorrow

^Zeno by your logic, World of Goo is basically the same as Bridge Builder, Aquaria is basically the same as Ecco, Fez is basically the same as Paper Mario, Crayon Physics is basically the same as Mario Paint, and Audiosurf is basically the same as guitar hero. should all those be discounted because they are similar to previous titles? show me something 100% original.

Aquaria! Definitely! oh wait…

I’m going with Audiosurf.

I’ll try Goo but so far, AudioSurf has my vote

“Snapshot Adventures: Secret Of Bird Island” is not really my kind of game, but it IS very polished. I think it has the largest fan base, but not the kind of fans that know what IGF is.

I haven’t decided what to vote on yet… there are still some games on the list that I haven’t tried.

Match-3 is a secondary mode - the main mode, Mono, is a rhythm game.

No doubt, last year was better, nothing shine this time.

Audiosurf is 10 times more impressive than the second best game on that list.

Also, I can’t bring myself to vote for Goo! on the grounds that it’s basically the same as Liquid War, which has been around for almost 10 years.

None of these have really wowed me so far, though I haven’t really looked in depth at all of them.

Played Audiosurf, and it’s good, but I can’t help but wish that it were more along the lines of a rhythm game instead of a match-3.

I voted for Audiosurf, and you should, too.

I probably enjoyed Audiosurf most.
