It's unanimous, World of Goo wins!

[Blue]

Patapon was a great deal of fun initially but it became a bit of a chore after a while. Braid may have gotten more notice from me but I haven't had a chance to play it yet so I can't vote on that one. From what I've heard, it's a great deal of fun and I do dig the art style.

[Telefrog]

In a money to time spent having fun ratio, Audiosurf won for me.

[Grifter]

Damn it! You guys ruined everything. ;)

[jpublic]

iFluid should be up there.

[Disgustipated]

Audiosurf, if only because of the endless replayability.

[KingGorilla]

What is an "Alternative Game?" How does it differ from a "New Age" or "College" game?

[pheriannath]

Definitely Audiosurf, but I could easily pick every title on this list.

[MagGnome]

I picked World of Goo, but Audiosurf is great as well.

[Rogue_hunter]

Too many good choices this time around. I can't vote, I like them all!

[astranoir]

I chose Audiosurf. A bunch of those other games are fun, though (even though I still don't get PixelJunk Eden :().

[itchyeyes]

All great titles. I've been more entertained by World of Goo than any of the rest though.

[Deadend]

I went with Braid, something about it just blew me away at the time. It made me think in ways I had not thought before.

[paketep]

World of Goo was fantastic.

Also, it doesn't seem fair to throw a big budget game like LBP with all those indies.

[Morangie]

A tough choice between Audiosurf and World of Goo, but I play Audiosurf so much more.

[Gorvi]

I'm not sure what this category even is, but I went with LBP since it's just the best game on the list.

[Variable Gear]

World of Goo.

[fitbabits]

Audiosurf, fo' shizzle.

[AbeLincoln]

audio surf if for no other reasons than it was a great, simple concept, executed well, and was dirt cheap and easy to get.

[n00bian]

this was a close one between world of goo and audiosurf for me
audiosurf has the better conzept and replayability
but world of goo has the better art direction and the writing and story are just so funny
so i choose wog

[TKO]

I tried to like Audiosurf, but it just never grabbed me somehow. The whole concept of being able to plug any music into it and have it alter the game in a real tangible way I admire though. ...Goo FTW! :D

[Banacek]

Fallout 3.

It's not on the list?
