These were our ten favorite games of PAX Prime 2011 photo

PAX Prime was so big this year that it was made up of two floors full of games (three if you want to count HaloFest.) In fact, PAX this year felt a lot like E3 with the big crazy booths and the big games on display.

Like every convention we attend, we picked our top ten picks of the show. These were voted on by the Destructoid staff as the ten games everyone needed to see:

Congrats to the winners! Did you get a chance to play or see any of these games at PAX Prime? What did you think of them?

I loved Mario Kart 7 but it was just more of the same. With hang gliders!

Well, I played three of those (Skyrim, Lollipop Chainsaw, Battleblock Theater) and they were awesome. My favorite was The Darkness 2, though. So much badassery happening in that game!

Best of show for me was easily Rayman Origins. So much fun, can't wait to play it. One of the few games that left me with that: Skyrim was a standard Bethesda deal (not to say I won't enjoy, but I wasn't awestruck), Rage was disappointing, I had high expectations that weren't met and Battlefield 3 (to round off the heavy hitters) was great, can't wait to pick that up. But Rayman Origins, a game I'd hardly heard of, with no line had me laughing out loud with my best friend as we tackled that demo. Great fun that I can't wait to play all the way through four player.

Kraid is right, but I think it's "Kairo and Monaco", sharing the top 10.

That list makes snes (it's new for sense, started here and now!) to me! I mean Skyrim, forever... and ever. I've seen videos of StarHawk and it really looks terrible... the multiplayer, most of all. I hope it improves in the upcoming months.

Asura's Wrath made me giddy with happiness.

Lollipop Chainsaw was a fucking hoot in a way only Suda 51 could bring to us.

Those other games are lovely and grand in their own way.

No Fez or Antichamber?

Was Dark Souls actually there? I don't remember seeing it anywhere.
