Mainstream gaming community embraces the indie scene

Video game news and discussion forum Evil Avatar recently announced an initiative aimed at bringing the independent gaming world closer to the mainstream player. Each month, one indie game will be chosen and presented to the community. Members will play and discuss the game on the site, giving feedback that developers will use to improve future releases. Oh, and they'll buy the games, too. Buying also helps.

The Indie Game Challenge is a small and careful step by Evil Avatar, but one that can enrich both mainstream and indie communities. Game submissions are open to readers and indie developers alike. Let's hope Evil Avatar presents the cream of the indie crop and not the embarrassing shovelware.
