Recently there has been a lot of discussion in indie game circles about an indie game portal. Leaving aside for the moment that an indie game portal is an oxymoron, there are already some indie game portals in existence.
Which one is the best?
The best indie game portal has these characteristics:
- It gets a huge amount of traffic. Almost every internet user knows about it.
- It has the widest selection of indie games there is. In fact, just about every indie game is listed there.
- It's free to get your game listed there.
- You can improve your listing by paying a small amount of money.
- It's easy to use and people can find games on it very quickly.
- The people who use it buy a lot of games.
Here it is!
Actually, Dan McDonald on indiegamer pointed out that search engines would be the thing that bests a portal: http://forums.indiegamer.com/showthread.php?t=6552
It's an interesting read.

Except not. Search engines search by text, not semantics.

You could post your games or teasers (flash only) to a portal such as http://www.biohazardGaming.com
