Game Tunnel's Final Independent Game Review Panel

cyrus_zuo writes "As of last month Game Tunnel's Indie game review panel is no more. The July panel will be the final piece reviewing what's new in Independent games. The monthly review panel has run just over 3 years with the July panel marking the 37th panel. Having reviewed 468 games over its life, the panel has had a variety of writers giving a plethora of opinions about what has been great and what hasn't been so great in the world of Indie games. The final panel features Derek Yu from TIGSource (and IGF winner Aquaria fame), Greg Costikyan from Manifesto Games, John Bardinelli from Joystiq, and Caspian Prince from Puppygames."

Ah, that's good news! I used to read the panel discussions but hadn't explored much more of Game Tunnel (obviously, I suppose). Then yeah, I kinda agree...why is this such big news?

Wow. A front page story, up for over 12 hours and the comments, including this one, are still in single digits.
No one cared when they were around, and no one cared when they left.

WOOT

May Derek bring a voice of reason to gametunnel's mysterious high scoring of everything. Plus, you know he's representing TIGSource, so I'm biased.
