I am pretty much positive some of them are sponsored. They are free, but tie in to something larger, like the game for the military. How is that an indie game anyway (you can't really have a larger publisher than the US military)? Also, the one for Truth (the anti-tobacco organization)was featured on there as well and I don't know why they would have chosen them.

However, others seem genuine. Fantastic Contraptions was featured on there, which is a great Flash physics game that I ended up playing for hours straight on a weekend out of town. There was nothing to buy, and it didn't tie-in to any kind of organization or anything, so I don't know why they would have paid G4 to be on there.

Well if people play your game a lot (if they play on kongregate) you get payed more revenue so the more they play the more you get payed
