A panel of fifty industry experts, including Penny Arcade's own Gabe and Tycho, will select the ten best submissions in terms of gameplay and "fun factor" for inclusion in The PAX 10 - to be shown in the PAX Exhibit Hall. Show attendees will vote on one of the exhibited games to be honoured by the "Audience Choice Award."
