Really rather disappointed to not see Into The Dark or Into The Ice! Two really great games that deserved mentions.

Thx for your support! We got many emails and skype messages of a rather angry nature stating it´s strange that we aren´t listed here with an "Into.." game.

However, please keep in mind that this is the UPCOMING list.
Into the Dark was released on Desura on the 19th of April, and the ITI Alpha was released in September.

So none of our games can be in an "UPCOMING" list. Let´s wait for the "current games" top list!

I hate to say it, and it could be just the trailers, but I'm not impressed with the top two. They look like low budget AAA games in genre's that are just going to get them overshadowed by everything else before and after. One of the things about indie games is the ability to push the envelope in new directions where the AAA companies wouldn't dare, but I just see nothing special about these games that makes me want to follow them much less buy them

You are right. And this is one of the reasons why I still hope Into the Dark / Into the Ice will appear at least in the 2013 Top 5. These games have actually changed the definition (at least here in Central Europe) what a game is allowed to do in order to entertain the player.
They have torn the chains of "applied self-cencorship" for many developers in Germany, CR, Poland, Austria e.t.c. and deserve some credit for that at least.

You are right.
Into the Dark - the first game ever that got sales permission in Germany without having to remove the Swastikas, the first game that seriously doubted the decisions of politicians from 7 decades and 8 different nations and got away with that.
The first game that had ALL PEGI warnings stickers on the backside of the boy and still passed USK.
It *IS* important. And funny!

Don´t exaggerate. We were lucky and it was about time to show the authorities that is stupid to judge games different from movies.

Cradle is very promising and of course M&B is here. The others look quality but honestly notvas interesting in my eyes. Also, why do you do Top 5 Upcoming but Top 10 IOTY? I feel both players choice sets should be Top10. I mean, the upcoming indies really do need the exposure to stay on their feet.

خیلی تبریک می گم به سازندگان هر سه بازی ایرانی. شاید از طریق بازیسازی، بهتر بتونیم خودمون رو به فرنگی ها معرفی کنیم. من ایمان دارم که وقتی ایرانی ها هر کاری رو یاد میگیرن، بهتر از دیگران انجام میدن

I'm just saying, respect to all developers, but the others this year look really like indie-devs who want to develop an mainstream game. For me, indie still stands for an original kind of game, not just a game that is made by a small team and published on own terms.
