The IGF isn't the only game in town when it comes to awards for the best independent games. IndieCade, which self-describes as 'the Sundance of videogames industry', has now wrapped up its 2015 festival and recently announced its own picks o'the year.

IndieCade kicks off on October 6th and that’s as good a reason for October the 6th as any I can think of.
