Penny Arcade announce PAX 10, an indie games showcase photo

Last year, the Destructoid team felt like PAX offered everything we could possibly want when it came to having fun at an event from screenings of classic (if slightly painful) gaming films to the opportunity to hurl threats at a live Uwe Boll. The thought never crossed my mind that I wished more indie exhibitors were there, likely because I was too busy having fun to even think about it.

Gabe and Tycho did notice however, and as their event is growing at a ferocious pace it likely seemed the logical next step to widen the playing field. Enter PAX 10, a showcase for indie gamers to show off their works at PAX 2008. The exhibition will be shown in cooperation with the DigiPen Institute of Technology.

Want to submit your own game? You still have time, as the deadline for entries is not until May 7th, 2008. A panel of 50 industry experts (including Gabe and Tycho themselves) will judge the entries and pick the ten best to show in the PAX exhibition hall. Those winners are eligible to win the Audience Choice award as well, as they will be voted on by PAX attendees after making it to the show floor.

I'm thrilled to see this added on and hoping to meet some great indie developers come August. Cheers to Gabe and Tycho - somehow you guys just keep getting better.

Seriously, PAX is just getting better and better. I can't imagine not going every year from now on.

Gah... I really want to go and meet everyone. I loved meeting everyone at the Michigan NARP and it drives me nuts that PAX is the same week as my college orientation. I swear I'll make it some year!

Ive never been to PAX, but Im definitely going this year. No doubt. Already bought my ticket, and set aside time from work. Now its just a matter of getting a box or used station wagon to sleep in.

I'll go if I have my crew. I need my crew or I'll die a bloody death.

My parents said they were getting me tickets for my birthday, but it turned out to be a PAX box with crappy clothes inside.

I wish I could go again. I'd love to see the new venue and the indie game showcase.

Does this mean they won't have any of the large name companies there, or are they going to be separate areas

I wish my life wasn't so damn busy... I want to go to PAX so badly. I'm praying I can free up some time.
