You’ll be able to get your indie game fix at Pax East coming up on March 26- 28 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston. Pax East is concentrating on the Boston indie scene showcasing games from Fire Hose Games, Dejobaan Games, MIT’s Gambit game lab and more. The idea is to showcase companies that may not get to be shown at the larger indie festivals.

“Boston welcomed us with open arms and we wanted to give a little of the love back. We knew there are some great companies in Boston that can’t normally take booth space, so the Showcase was born,” said Robert Khoo of Penny Arcade. “Our winners have put together a selection of titles that are fun and original; but most importantly they show what gamers with passion and dedication can do.”

The winning entries are:

· Slam Bolt Scrappers – Fire Hose Games – A unique combination of engaging in building challenges while fighting off wacky, cartoon baddies in a beat ‘em up brawler

· AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! – Dejobaan Games – Jump off buildings floating above Boston performing stunts and making split-second decisions as you weave around buildings to score points

· Dearth – MIT Gambit Game Lab – Save the Tribal Lands from monsters and drought playing as a great shaman in this exciting co-operative action-puzzler

· Waker – MIT Gambit Game Lab – Players are challenged to use both mind and reflexes to solve puzzles, creating platforms to form a path in this puzzle/platform game set in the world of a child’s broken dream

· Turba – Keith Morgado – A puzzle game where each song played will generate unique game boards on which players much create combos of 3 or more of the same color

· Miegakure – Marc ten Bosch – A platform game where you explore the fourth dimension to solve puzzles.

Of course there are tons of things to see or do at Pax East. Our very own Cherith and Stealthyslyth will be covering the con along with The Married Gamers!
