The latest edition of Sessler’s Soapbox on G4TV.com deals with the importance of indie games, a topic that is near and dear to my heart.

2BeeGames name indie competition winners
2BeeGames has announced the conclusion of its first indie game developer competition. The competition began with an open call for game submissions from independent developers. More than 80 submissions were received and posted on 2BeeGames.com for the community to play, rate, and provide feedback. After several rounds of voting and eliminations, the fans and a panel of judges selected the winning title: Auditorium by Cipher Prime.
The grand prize winners will receive $10,000 in prize money and have entered negotiations on a publishing contract for their title with Zoo Games. Community favorites Terence Lee, creator of Storm, and Edouard Mercure, creator of Save the Planet, will receive $5,000 and $2,500 respectively.
Thousands of users played submissions from the 10 finalists in the competition, voting each week to keep their favorite in the running. When the smoke cleared and the dust settled, one game emerged as the clear winner.
The games we're pulling together in this feature won't appear on any of those best-of lists and get confused looks when you mention them in conversation. Just because time has forgotten these titles, though, doesn't mean you should forget them, too.
