Welcome to the Indie Showcase, a semi-regular column on Big Download that takes a look at games we haven't covered on the site that we really think you should play.

It's been a hotly contested point of debate as to whether games are actually art. Some say it is, others say it isn't, and some say "who cares?" One look at these browser games, though, and you'll realize that games-as-art is not something that can be so easily defined. A sense of longing, commentary on the modern world, or a simple experimental control scheme is all it takes to push a game from being generic to artistic. So give these games a whirl and find out that art is more than definition.
