I love Offworld and Tiny Cartridge as much as anyone else, but I don't feel those sites have much of an opportunity to expand the minds of the vast majority of Gears of War players. Their audience will always be limited next to that of the big boys.

Area 5/Co-Op's Ryan O'Donnell at GDC's Indie Game Rant session last week. You have to read his entire speech to get the full context of this quote, but Ryan wishes the big gaming news sites were more like the small ones that devote equal coverage to "AAA" titles, small studio releases, and indie games, as opposed to dedicating 80 percent of articles to the latest multimillion-dollar productions. Unlike us, those sites have the power to turn the attention of a huge audience to gems like Redder and Digital.

Though I still feel that Tiny Cartridge doesn't spend enough time talking about obscure and indie titles (other obligations and the paid blogging jobs we have leave us with only a couple hours to update this site each day), I still really appreciate the shout out from Ryan. I hear someone else dropped our name at the Indie Game Rant, but I'm not sure who it was, otherwise I'd thank them, too.

.exp publisher Mathew Kumar has a great write-up on the Indie Game Rant if you want to read more about it. Anna "Auntie Pixelante" Anthropy has also posted the full transcript and slides from her speech at the session.
