Devil's Tuning Fork was a pretty interesting visual experience. Dreamside Maroon was ok. Igneus was short but sweet and spectacular. Currently getting Puddle. Camera in puddle is pretty bad for its purpose. Wish Paper Cakes was downloadable.

I'm not even sure how something like Ulitsa Dimitrova got among the winners. I wouldn't even call it a game.

It's what happens when games start turning into art.  You get the guy who kills the dog for art, and you have to take it with the rest.

Igneous looks awesome, but those system requirements are absurd.

 Igneous looks like what Sonic games should have been when turning into 3D. Just a blue blur in the center of the screen as the landscape races past you at speeds that most computers should struggle to achieve. Although the graphics are a bit too pretty for their purpose. When you take in the aforementioned speed, the graphics on anything not turning into a multicolored blur(Anything not directly in front of you) really does not matter.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Hmm.. I've played some of them, and they just don't seem to be worth the time. Innovative, yes. Addictive, perhaps. But I come out feeling like I've just wasted my time.  :-\
