Thanks to the ease of publishing your own games on the internet without having to deal with a big-name publisher or distributing to thousands of stores, many amateur and semi-professional game developers are making new games. Many of these products are small, derivative time-wasters, like the Tetris-clone puzzle games out there, while other developers are actually coming up with new ideas that major game developers haven't even touched on. One example of the latter is Mount & Blade, a game that combines tactical action with RPG elements and medieval combat to make up for a truly unique experience.
