PAX is a three-day game festival for tabletop, videogame, and PC gamers. PAX Prime will be held in Seattle Washington Convention Center for the fourth time and the registration for this festival is now open. The event is set to take place from 3 September 2010 to 5 September 2010. Badge prices for the event are set, for a single day badge price is $35 and the three day badge will set you back $55 a little more than last year but that is because of the City of Seattle public event tax.

For Penny Arcade Expo Prime 2010, gamers from around the country will converge on Seattle, Washington. PAX is open to the public dissimilar industry only events like E3. Anamanaguchi, Jonathan Coulton, MC Frontalot, Metroid Metal, The Minibosses, Paul and Storm, Martin O’Donnell, and The Protomen are confirmed musical guests. PAX Prime 2010 will include events at offsite locations for the first time since occupying the Washington State Convention and Trade Center.

The Main Theater, where the keynote speech, large panels and concerts are held, will be located down the street at Seattle’s Benaroya Hall, normally the venue for the Seattle Symphony and other fine performance arts. The newly modernized Pike St. Annex will again be used, as well as registration and one panel room located at the nearby Sheraton. In 2010 Schedule, the first PAX East was held in Boston, MA, with attendance levels that rivaled those of PAX 2009 after many successful years of PA. In order to avoid confusion between the two, the Washington conventions were referred to as PAX Prime from then on.

The list of the ten independent games, selected as winners to be featured at PAX Prime 2010 has been announced:

• Altitude
• Bastion
• Fowl Space
• Hegemony: Philip of Macedon
• Plane Weaver
