360 Rant Rave Forums

The organizers of The PAX 10 announced on Monday Twisted Pixel’s The Maw as winner of the 2008 Audience Choice award. The PAX 10, a showcase of ten independently developed games, were selected by a panel of 50 industry experts out of over 80 submissions as the best in terms of gameplay and “fun factor.” The PAX 10 winners displayed their games at the 2008 Penny Arcade Expo (PAX), allowing attendees the opportunity to view each of the titles and cast their secret ballots, earning The Maw top honors for the inaugural year of the showcase event.

“It’s always awkward to compete against other indie developers, especially
ones as cool and friendly as the PAX 10 teams.  So we’d like to make sure

achievements.  The complete list of 2008′s The PAX 10 (in alphabetical
