This is a game where the levels are designed around the soundtrack to visually represent the structure of the music.

I really like the look of T.E.C. 3001 and Cute Things Dying Violently looks like it will be a fun and bloodier version of Lemmings.

Culmination

This game looks like a pretty wicked mix of the animated violence of Dishwasher with the stark shadow contrasts of Limbo. Check the trailer, it looks great in action.

Very cool. It's a flash game, so is it gonna be free?

Void

Image
*Click for gameplay preview*

This is another cool game out of the Digipen Institute based in Singapore (where we also saw the fantasticly innovative Terra: Legend of the Geochine developed). Void is a cool take on the old "spot the difference" puzzle. As far as I can tell, you hold up a looking glass that peers into a slightly alternate dimension from the one you are currently residing in and you can bring the other dimension forth to solve puzzles. Or, I'm not sure about that, but that's what the preview trailer looks like to me.

J.U.L.I.A.

This is a cool looking sci-fi game about a researcher that is all by herself with only an A.I. and a robot as a companion.

Owlboy

*Click for Trailer Video*

Owlboy was mentioned briefly earlier in this thread, but now there is this excellent new trailer video and promise of a demo coming on the 20th of this month. I'm getting excited for this one. It looks like the best SNES game that never happened, until now.
