Play some indie games, vote for your favourite

The excellent Independent Games Festival, which occurs every year during the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, has unveiled the website where you, the gamer, can vote for your favourite indie game. The winner of the audience award gets a US$2,500 prize.

And get this: all the games that are in the running for the audience award are available to play - for free - either online or as a download.

The game pictured here is Tri-Achnid, a Flash game you can play in your web browser. You move a three-legged spider through a primordial environment by moving its legs and creating web threads. It's fully engaging and it'll take some practice to get the hang of moving your creature around.

There are 11 games up for the audience award - from a total 173 entries - and all 11 are available to play over at the IGF site.

The full list of IFG finalist games is available here.
