... And the winner of the Indie Game Challenge are...

Pro Award:

LIMBO, Play Dead Games, Xbox Live Arcade

Non-Pro Award:

Inertia, Team Hermes, Windows

The teams behind Limbo and Inertia have each received the princely sum of $100,000 in recognition of their game-developing excellence. Congratulations to Play Dead and Team Hermes!

Notch did say that he was going to some video game award conference soon but idk if this was it or not. Minecraft will win plenty of awards soon enough considering how amazing beta is i cannot wait for the full version to release.

I don't know if it counts (being Beta) but Minecraft would have been a nice addition...yes, I'm one of "those" guys.

I think that Limbo being in the contest was unfair. I called that result the second I heard Limbo was in the running. They should've let someone else have the spotlight.

The very first thing that comes into my mind, after playing a few of these games, is "Mental Cruelty".

Limbo was neat but it was easily one of the most overrated games of last year.
