Gaming

http://indiegames.com/index.html
A great review site that informs readers of new indie games coming out and the Indie Game Movement in general. It contains special features and interviews. Heck, it even has it's own podcast. Talk about dedication. This site's archive of articles and forums is an almost perfect (And I only say almost because they say nothing can be perfect) site for both the novice and veteran Indie Fan.

http://www.igf.com/
The IGF site talk about the Indie Games Festival, an event similar to Sundance, except for (you guessed it) indie games. The festival was made in 1998 to "encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers who enter." There are three main elements to the festival, The Pavilion, the Festival Awards, and the Independent Games Summit.

The Indiecade festival possesses the same motives as the IGF. Fortunately, it's held at a different time of the year, so you don't have to choose which event to go to! Like the IGF, developers submit there games to hopefully be chosen as a finalist and played at the festival.

http://db.tigsource.com/
Another review site with a cool layout. TIGdb gives viewers a basic summary of the game along with tags showing themes and genres. It also lists the game info, ex: what platforms it can be played on. A community rating out of five is displayed, and the viewer is given the chance to play a demo of the game that he/she is checking out.

Charity

http://www.freerice.com/
Although charity games aren't necessarily indie games. We still need to focus on our school's 'a better world' motto for this project. (Even though we think that indie games do better the world). Freerice is a fun, educational game that, with every question right, donates 10 grains of rice through the World Food Programme to help end world hunger. It tests the player on vocabulary words, progressively getting harder from levels 1 to 60. I got to level 23 with 800 grains donated before I remembered that I had to write this description.

Child's play charity actually involves no game playing. However, it does give you the opportunity to spread the thrill of gaming to child patients to a children's hospital of your choice.

http://www.freeflour.com/Education.aspx
Free flour is essentially the same thing as free rice, which is great. It tests the player on geography questions, and with every question right it donates a spoon of flour to multiple charities. Unfortunately, there is no current sponsor for the site, so no donations can be made. However, they are searching hard for a new one.
