Are we entering another golden age for PC gaming?

More and more titles I see released or upcoming from independent or small developer teams.
The quality is superb and some really interesting titles more so than the COD remakes.

I've herd a lot of talk of 'good indie' games but not many names everget mentioned. Can you give some recommendations please?

Also, the best PC era for me was 95-99.
 
Possibly; the 'traditional' market (i.e. publisher-driven) of the past is heavily focussed on consoles right now which opens up a bit of a niche in the PC market. One good thing about the PC market is the potential to innovate; we have all the tools nowdays to remove some of the barriers to entry (digital distribution, viral/social marketing, widespread internet usage) so talented developers that would have hit a brick wall 15 years ago now have a realistic chance of getting themselves noticed.

As a side note I think the 'golden age' for PC gaming was probably around 1998-2000 as this was when companies first started getting to grips with the technology available (3d accelerator cards, internet play) and really put PC at the forefront of the pack.

love the cod troll nice and original :rolleyes:

tbh theres a few games that could be good but on the whole its console games that we given now. indie games can be good but in general sorry to say they are ****. basically a poor mans attempt at a good game most of the time.

odd gems are made but really most indie stuff is just 1 day frolics.
