PlayStation ramps play with clever independent games

Sony excitedly showed off nearly two dozen new "indie" games including "nidhogg" and "The Witness" late Wednesday at its PlayStation campus in the Silicon Valley city of San Mateo. "For us it is a big thing to cherish and help the crazy ideas and risky stuff flourish," PlayStation vice president of developer relations Adam Boyes told AFP during the advance peak at the games. Some of the entertainingly zany spins that independent developers put on play grab the interest of major studios behind blockbuster franchises, with each side influencing the other, according to Boyes.
