Several games I hadn't heard of before are in this list, some rather interesting.
However, it is a bit disheartening to see so many games that are ported engines for old commercial games, or improved clones of the same, rather than new, creative ideas. I suppose it's easier to build a game that's "like SimCity, but better" than to design and create something completely new.

A lot more debate has taken place there.
Too bad this game wasn't mentioned, it has cute graphics, interesting gameplay, and no penguins: http://joyridelabs.de/game/
