paxprime-logoPAX Prime 2014 is exactly a month away, so now’s the perfect time to announce the PAX 10, a hand-picked group of indie games that the Penny Arcade (and over 50 judges) choose to highlight at the big show.

Duet, a great iOS game where players have to navigate two dots through an obstacle course, and Framed, an interactive comic where players rearrange the panels to rearrange the story, are both holdovers from this Spring’s PAX East Indie Showcase. Other PAX 10 selections include:

  • Duet (Developed by Kumobius)
  • Flickers (Developed by DigiPen’s Neat Snake)
  • Framed (Developed by LoveShack Entertainment)
  • Life Goes On (Developed by Infinite Monkeys Entertainment)
  • Mushroom 11 (Developed by Untame)
  • Nova-111 (Developed by Funktronic Labs)
  • Poof vs The Cursed Kitty (Developed by Arkedo Studio/Neko Entertainment)
  • Skullduggery! (Developed by ClutchPlay Games)
  • Stikbold! (Developed by Reign Bros)
  • The Counting Kingdom (Developed by Little Worlds Interactive)

Head over to the official PAX Site for a more detailed description of each title. And be sure to check out every PAX 10 selection on the show floor at this year’s PAX Prime convention.

The Behemoth announces “Game 4” at PAX East 2014 with a shirt… or do they?

Posted on April 13, 2014 by John Scalzo

behemothgame4questionmarkThe Behemoth had a very strange shirt available for sale in their booth at this weekend’s PAX East event. The crimson t-shirt showed a cupcake riding a woman/spider hybrid. For some reason, a spoon-shaped scooper that looks to be holding ice cream is also involved. To top it off, this surreal image carries the caption, “Game 4?”

According to Destructoid, the question mark signifies that the shirt may not have anything to do with The Behemoth’s next game. The currently untitled “Game 4” might star the spider woman or it might all just be an elaborate practical joke from a company best known for their sense of humor. Whatever the case may be, Destructoid has learned that the game is in development for the Xbox One and that The Behemoth plans to reveal more at this year’s Comic-Con and PAX Prime conventions.

The Behemoth will release BattleBlock Theater on Steam later this year, so don’t expect “Game 4” to stay exclusive to the Xbox One for long.
