There were a lot of incredible games released by the huge game developers this year, just as there were Arcade games by the smaller developers. But what about the micro developers who worked away in their underground bunkers, testing and twisting the possibilities of game design for no other reason than their obsession with creating interactive content or trying to reverse engineer a starter kit? Sure there was a lot of sub-par, underdeveloped drivel, but there were also some innovative standouts. This is your opportunity to nominate any number of the best indie games released by the XNA community for XBOX Live in 2009. But hurry, nominations end soon!
You can place your nomination simply by posting a comment in response to this article. Our best of the year will be posted by December 21st.
Thanks for your emails and comments. Voting is now closed and we will post our selections shortly.

Here are my nominations:
* Wool
* Storage Inc.
* Little Racers
Storage Inc. was indeed an excellent game and a candidate for our year’s best. What’s fascinating about the indie blade is how many games are released- it is very easy to miss them as they fly by.
Thanks for the nominations – we will take another look at Wool and Little Racers.
Mine favorite one is Square Off, a very addictive gameplay and nice polished graphics!
In case you followed DBP this year, Dust: an Elysian Tail is also very interesting, but it’s not released yet so I don’t think this counts.
