On todays gaming consoles, independent game developers are finally getting their chance to show what they can do. On the Xbox 360, Wii, and PS3/PSP especially, groups of people with lots of talent and little budget are creating some amazingly fun and intuitive games for vastly affordable prices. This is mostly thanks to the new distribution methods through the internet. Independent game publishing is booming since the developers no longer have to worry about the daunting task of producing and distributing the product to reach a target audience. Instead, it's always available right there in your consoles online store.

If you're a frequent patron of independent games on any platform, show your support by placing this stamp on your userpage! Independant games are a new renaissance in game approach and design, so much so that big companies look to indie studios first for ideas to buy.

Some of my personal favorite indie games:
Echochrome [PS3/PSP]
The Last Guy [PS3]
Linger in Shadows [PS3]
PixelJunk Monsters [PS3]
PixelJunk Eden [PS3]
Flower [PS3]
Flow [PS3/PSP/PC]
Everyday Shooter [PS3]
Braid [X360]
Aurora Feint [iPhone]
JellyCar [iPhone]
Fancy Pants Adventures by Brad Bourne [PC Flash]
Mirror's Edge 2D by Brad Bourne [PC Flash]

Most of those games aren't "indie" because they have big publishers like Sony. Got you tongue-tied.

"Independent video games (commonly referred to as indie games) are video games created by individuals or small teams without video game publisher financial support. Indie games often focus on innovation and rely on digital distribution. Indie gaming has seen a rise in the last few years, primarily due to new online distribution methods and development tools."

It would depend on who submitted the game, a big company could submit there too, but I think most of it if not all must be indie developers.
Just remember that they are all web based and an indie game can be released in any platform. So there's more to indie games than just newgrounds.
A good place to look into is:
[link] - a good indie database
[link] - indie games being sold by whatever you want to pay
[link] - some more indie games, these are from steam a very respected site
