Indie games are on the rise as being better than anything an AAA high budget game can be. 2013 was a great year for indie games and there were many great ones that shined and reached out as far as a big-budget game could get.

Papers, Please

Papers, Please is one of the most entertaining games I have played all year. I beat the game 3 times and saw nearly every ending. It’s just so addictive it can’t be put into any game category. I passed up other AAA games sitting on my HDD just to play this game over and over again. Who knew checking passports could be this much fun?
