igfest is getting close now and the games have been coming thick and fast. We've had submissions from far and wide and we're part way through our selection process. This coming Thursday we will be testing out some of the games we've had submitted to the fest to make sure they are as much fun as they sound. We'll be testing some of our own games too so there will be a lot on.

This is a great chance to get a sneak peak at a couple of the festivals games.
