Every year Penny Arcade celebrates indie gaming by offering 10 developers space to show off their games to attendees of the annual show. The lineup is known as The PAX 10, and is chosen by a collection of 50 industry experts. Previous PAX 10 games include Fez, Antichamber, The Bridge, and The Swapper. This year's lineup looks to be the best one yet. Here are the featured games:

- Badland
- Escape Goat 2
- Gunpoint
- Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime
- Owlboy
- Ridiculous Fishing
- Rogue Legacy
- Sokobond

PAX Prime starts on August 30 in Seattle, Washington. We'll be in attendance, so check back often for the latest news and game impressions from the show floor.

Our Take
Judging from our reviews,
this year's PAX 10 includes a ton of hits; I've already listened to Adam and
Tim fawn over Rogue Legacy, and Dan won't shut up about Towerfall. I'm even
more eager to check out games like Avalanche 2 and Escape Goat 2, which I've
heard virtually nothing about. Hopefully the next generation of consoles will
make it even easier for indie developers to find a larger audience.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
