Our Take
We've previewed or reviewed some of the great entries in IndieCade 2013 (Gone Home, Rogue Legacy, Super Time Force), and they deserve recognition. The list of 36 finalists is diverse, and if you're able to attend IndieCade, you'll get a chance to see some of the brightest titles coming out of the community. 

In addition to the games, there are fun events, tabletop opportunities, and conferences. The "festival" moniker is appropriate for the atmosphere and fun that IndieCade offers.
