Here is a list of indie games that I think everyone should play. Most are good for even non "gamers".
Minecraft* - Massive randomly generated 3d worlds built up of 1meter by 1 meter cubes. You collect these cubes as building materials to construct whatever you can imagine.
Super Meat Boy* - Old-school arcade style platformer.
Spelunky - 2d side scroller with randomly generated dungeons to pillage.
Desktop Dungeons - Top down dungeon crawler based around 10-15 minute playthroughs of small randomly generated maps.
Dwarf Fortress - Take control of a small group of dwarves and construct your kingdom. 2d top down, very low res but very complex.
Osmos* - Beautiful and simple puzzle game. All you do is float and collect water droplets.
Limbo* - Sadly I have yet to play this game, but with the amount of awards its won, I still have to recommend it. Gorgeous 2d platformer.
*Games are not free, but in the case of Minecraft and Super Meat Boy, there are free versions you can play. Minecraft has a free creative version of the normal single player game that is mearly the building aspect without the map generation or survival aspects. Super Meat Boy still has the original prototype version on Newgrounds.com. The rest are free and if you dont at least look at the sites I will be severely disappointed.
Support these people!!
