This week is all about the indie games and, yes, I am aware that "Indonese" is a shitty play on words.
Supergiant Games' "Bastion" (pictured) is fucking awesome and you should buy it now. It's only available on PC via the Steam Store, however, which I'm still reluctant to support. I know that Steam has become a ubiquitous part of PC gaming, but I'm working under the impression that Valve will just renounce their support for Steam any day now and all of the games people have bought will be lost. I should really move this post along, though. I've got to get back to my street corner and hold up my various doomsday signs. "The End is Near!" "Repent!" "$2 Highballs Every Thursday!"
"To the Moon" is an upcoming RPG by Freebird Games that's about an old guy who wanted to be an astronaut, or something. Luckily science has reached the point where we can alter a person's memories on their deathbed, and the scientists themselves finally get to live out their life-long dreams of becoming psychonauts.
I don't know if "To the Moon" will be freeware or not, but all of Freebird's previous projects are available to download for free right here.
Did you buy the Humble Indie Bundle #3? I sure did! So did over 370, 000 other people, raising over $2, 000, 000 for indie developers, the ESA and the Child's Play charity. However, there are over six billion people in the world right now, which means that a huge majority of you are cheap motherfuckers and should be ashamed of yourselves. I'll bet that not a single Ethiopian bought the bundle this year, so those starving bastards can go straight to hell.

I guess, since Bastion is published by WB Games, it would be considered a small studio game and not independent. I guess you could also be considered a jackass for nitpicking. HYPOTHETICAL LOSER!
