When I first visited the Great Games Experiment I thought it was a pretty cool idea. Then I actually started browsing around the site and can’t stop. Whether its looking for interesting people in the gaming development community or hunting for new cool games. And I’ve been able to find a lot of both.

I’m really amazed at some of the people that I have come across. I’m even more amazed at some of the awesome games that I’ve come across. Just to name a few: GeneRally, flOw, Zen Bondage, and Armadillo Run. There are so many games that I havn’t even had a chance to check out but I look forward to doing so (so much for the stack of games I still need to play at home). So I guess my point is that with so many games out there that I have never even heard of, this is a great place to find some of them at least.

Then there’s the aspect of finding people with similar gaming interests. One person in particular has posted a bunch of free games. Now I’m pretty much going to try every game that he posts just because he knows good games, at least I think so. Ah hell, I’m talking about Bjorn. Everyone should go check out the games he has posted. They’re awesome.

Until next time…
