Steam Greenlight

Steam Greenlight is up and running. Originally announced in July, Greenlight is a competition of sorts based around the Steam community. Any company or individual can upload a video and screenshots of his or her game, and Steam users vote for what they find most appealing. The most popular games will be on the fast track to an official Steam release. Greenlight launched this morning with 30 games; as of now it has over 220.
 
I've barely scratched the surface of this smorgasbord of indie games, but a few already stand out:
This is a great community-based experiment: fans get to choose what games they get to buy in the future, and independent developers get to show off their hard work to a community of over 54 million users.

Update: I've never seen so many zombie games in one place.
