Video games are big business these days. In the UK alone, the gaming market is worth a record £7.1bn; that’s more than the music and film industry combined. But the industry is not just about blockbuster franchises like Call of Duty and God of War, indie gaming has become a significant part of the market, with the UK playing host to around 1,500 indie gaming outfits – a figure which is rising quickly.
Some of the more outlandish and inventive indie games will be on display at Somerset House as the London Games Festival gets underway. The venue will be hosting Now Play This, a celebration of indie gaming, for the ninth year.
