If you need a reminder of how well last month's Six One Indie Showcase was, look no further than Game Informer's complete round-up of every game shown.

Like every fest before it, there are hundreds (probably thousands) of great games to check out free demos for, most of them indies, too. We’re doing our best to wade through these demos and check out games we’re excited for, ones to watch, and ones we had never heard of before playing during Steam Next Fest.

I’ve always admired the attempts to make mobile gaming feel comparable to my experience gaming on consoles with a controller in hand.

I’m always left wanting something better, something more premium.
