Penny Arcade just brought some more fun to their infamous Penny Arcade Expo, PINS! Gabe of Penny Arcade fame was proud to announce their new collectible trading pins, aptly named, Pinny Arcade.

Hot of the presses people! From the desk of PAX Australia itself, Ron Gilbert, the man behind Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, and the recent adventure game The Cave, will be providing PAX Australia’s opening keynote.

I lucked out this weekend, and got to play some HAWKEN in the beta event that went down. We are now about 42 days away from launch and things are looking good! However, that being said, I don’t know what is and isn’t going to change from the current build, so I’ll just go over [...]

It’s called Puzzle Clubhouse– a unique kind of community game that’s both crowd-designed and crowd-supported. So you’ve always wanted [...]
Another smash at PAX was Hitman : Absolution.

This years PAX was like nothing I’ve ever done before, besides getting hands on with everything I could and swapping germs with all the other expo goers, interviewing notable characters in the gaming industry was truly a dream come true. Having a normal conversation with the legend Ron Gilbert, the fun times we had playing [...]
Another stop in the journey that was PAX Prime was on the third floor DS Lounge where Activision was kind enough to show me the new Giants up close and personal.
