    Is awesome.
    Its an indie game and the spiritual successor to The Neverhood. The player controls a small robot and guides it through many levels filled with riddles and stuff.
    Its beautifully drawn and very imaginative. You can dl a demo http://machinarium.net/demo/>here or buy the retail for 20$.

    I was never into indie games up until this point (well, I did play http://www.worldofgoo.com/>World of Goo)) but now I pretty much am, assuming any of them can be as good as this one.
    If you guys know any good ones please post them here.

    Braid

    Braid is a platform game where you must solve puzzles by controlling the flow of time in a world where some objects are not affected by time at all. The best thing about this game is the beautiful artwork and the amazing soundtrack.

    You can either buy it for 14.99 from steam, or pirate!

    Didn't play those, but it is a point-and-click adventure game, and it really reminds me of The Neverhood.

    I played it again about a week ago. It takes about an hour if you know what to do, and for some reason I remembered nearly everything even though last time I played was ~10 years ago.

    Edit: TMP, I have an .exe that you can run it from in order to avoid glitchy colors if you're using vista or xp. (And no, compatibility mode doesn't help, you actually need that exe)

    Braid is hands-down one of the best indie games I've ever played.
