I loved Knytt. Exactly what I want from an indie game - simple, polished design + offbeat aesthetics. Great use of interactive music, too. Some of the animated characters didn't seem to fit with the rest of the visual style but in overall, wonderful experience.

Did I hear aliens vs predator gold (or at least normal version) is free to download now? Or was I imagining it?

No, you imagined it. The source code was released a long time ago, which is probably what you were thinking of.

Just found another gem: (
http://datarealms.com/) Cortex Command.
The gameplay's much like Liero or its clones such as Gusanos(both are also freeware, but I can't be bothered to dig up links for them)in the sense that you run around and blow stuff up in a map with destroyable terrain with various weapons that have to reload on occasion, but never run out of ammo. The difference, other than theme, is where the "command" bit kind of comes in-there are two opposing brains in two bases that can order in units to destroy each other.
To get more funds in order to send down more units, you have to use a digger tool to claim the gold underground. Of course, you have to be careful and defend your brain in the meantime. (I've found even Easy difficulty difficult simply because as I'm trying to mine for resources, the asshole of an AI is dropping craploads of soldiers at my base. It also takes me way too long to purchase units since I can't just use the mouse.)
(
http://cortexcommand.wiki-site.com/index.php/Controls) Controls can be found here. Be careful if you're like me and have flight sim stuff hooked up, though, as your controllers' axes will interfere with gameplay(they recommend Xbox 360 pads for a good reason), and re-mapping them isn't as simple as it should be.
It'll take me way too long to get into the details, so you might as well start playing the game to get a hang of it all...

Does anybody know if it FINALLY works as it's supposed to with new Forceware?
I'm lazy to try out.

(
http://www.banghowdy.com) Bang! Howdy! appears to be a turn-based online multiplayer game set in a cartoony version of the American old west. By the same dudes that made Puzzle Pirates.

Which reminds me, I still need to try Puzzle Pirates. Those guys seems to put out some cool stuff.

So I've recently been utterly addicted to (
http://typhoon.kuto.de/) Typhoon 2001, a remake/update of the Jaguar title "Tempest 2000", which was of course an update to the original classic arcade game "Tempest".
Now I never had a Jaguar, and I have to say that I never enjoyed "Tempest", but this game pretty much rocks.
The author has been making frequent updates, and the latest release -- 1871 (28.01.2007) -- is definitely the slickest and trippiest yet. Check it out.
My two pieces of advice are:
(a)
Remember that you get a superzapper (smart bomb) every life and every level. Don't shy away from using 'em.(b)
The jump key is absolutely critical. I hold both the fire and jump keys down continuously at the start of a level, so that the very moment I acquire the jump power I'm automatically made aware of the fact.Aristed on 13/2/2007 at 22:16

Sorry if this has already been posted I had a quick search and didn’t find it.
“Toblo is a free, fast-paced capture the flag game that has two teams using the world as weaponry, throwing bombs, and generally destroying things...” read more about Toblo
I can’t stand the cutesy sounds but I just love to watch the blocks fly. Its part of the slamdance competition that you’ll probably know about if you read gamasutra.
