I compiled a list of links to make this easy (their forum posted included a bonus game not shown in the video, so I included it as well). I don't have thoughts on all of these as I've not played them all, played their demos, or didn't even know about them, but here they are:
Outland - http://www.housemarque.com/games/outland/
Terraria - http://www.terraria.org/
Kingdom of Loathing - http://www.kingdomofloathing.com
Metro 2033 - http://metro.thq.com/ it looks like this site is now dedicated to Metro Last Light and 4A Games' website seems to be down
Depths of Peril - http://www.soldak.com/Depths-of-Peril/Overview.html (demo appears to be available)
Monday Night Combat - I don't know how you cannot have heard of this one, but yeah, it's awesome, Super MNC is now using MNC's space at http://www.mondaynightcombat.com/ but there's a wikia for it at http://mondaynightcombat.wikia.com/wiki/Monday_Night_Combat_Wiki
Trenched - out of all of these games, if you just play one, play this one, demo available on XBox Live, it's a great demo but doesn't do the full game justice, http://trenchedgame.com/
OGame - http://www.ogame.us/
World of Tanks - http://www.worldoftanks.com/
The Cat and the Coup - http://coup.peterbrinson.com/
Earth Defense Force 2017 - http://www.earthdefenseforce.net/
Panzer Corps - http://www.slitherine.com/games/panzer_corps_pc at least I think this is it
Runespell: Overture - http://www.runespell.com/category/game/
Catherine - How can you not have heard of this whacked out game by now http://www.catherinethegame.com/
Monster Hunter Series - http://www.capcom.com/monsterhunter/ This site is one of the odder flash experiences of my life!
Bastion - http://supergiantgames.com/?page_id=242 You should by this and a soundtrack signed by the team! No, really, I know I already gave my "out of all these games" thing to Trenched, but if you're not going to play Trenched, play this!
The Stanley Parable - this is some odd HL2 mod, http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-stanley-parable
Rock of Ages - http://www.atlus.com/rockofages/ This demo didn't really grab me, but the art, if it appeals to you, might make it worth playing all by itself
And if you've read this far, you probably deserve a link to part 1 of this video:
