I disagree. (Gaming)

A big budget only means you get better graphics and movie-tie-in-themed games. It does not equate to stronger narrative or gameplay.

Check out Save the Date, Papers, Please!, and The Swapper for some awesome indy games from the past year.

Can't speak for the other 2, but Papers please was also pretty dismal. I think I went over why a while ago here. How much cooler would it have been, if it had an LA Noire style questioning of the travelers, where you could actually see their emotions?
