It’s the “Indie” (independent) scene, where small groups of people create wonderful games.

I was only aware of such groups thanks to Uplink, a hacker simulation game from Introversion (“the last group of bedroom programmers”). This unique game, with great plot and replayability managed to keep me in front of the computer for weeks.

Recently (read: 4 months ago) I was lucky enough to discover another great game: World of Goo from 2DBoy. The idea is to go from point A to point B, by building structures consisted of small balls (goo), which are interconnected. It’s a game certainly worth its money and, if you love puzzle games, you should certainly check it out.
