Well the logical explanation here is to ask those of you who would be participating in this tournament.  What game do you want?  What system?  What rules?  I encourage you to leave as many comments as you feel necessary, if you see an idea leave a comment on how you support it.  We can’t commit to something that won’t follow through because of lack of players so please be involved here!  This tournament will most likely be decided by you guys if there is enough conversation on this post so get to it!

Not much else to add here except to say between the new Professor Layton, Scribblenauts, Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story and this, Fall/Holiday 2009 is looking like a pretty good season to be a Nintendo DS owner!

Today the  announcement of one of the cornerstones of the event: the PAX 10, a selection of independent game chosen to be on display by a “panel of game industry experts.”

Unlike many of the hundreds of top 10 lists that litter almost every gaming website on the internet, (stayed tuned tomorrow for my ‘Top 10 Most Delicious-Looking Video Game Burgers list!) a lot of the games mentioned  are unknowns, but hopefully all that will change once gamers like yours truly (attending his first PAX this year – woo-hoo!) get their hands on them.

Without further ado, here is the list:

CarneyVale: Showtime by the Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Games Lab (Xbox 360)

Closure by Tyler Glaiel and Jon Schubbe (PC)

Fieldrunners by Subatomic Studios (iPhone/iPod touch)

Liight by Studio Walljump (Wii)

Machinarium by Amanita Design (PC)

Osmos by Hemisphere Games (PC)

Puzzle Bloom by Team Shotgun (PC)

Tag: The Power of Paint by Tag Team (PC)

Trino by Trinoteam (Xbox 360)

What is Bothering Carl? by Story Fort (PC)

Check out the official page below for more details about each game. And if you’re going to PAX this year (less than 50 days away according to their site clock!), drop me a line and let me know!

The first of which is a special WiiWare game called Doc Louis’s Punch-Out!, which pits Little Mac against his mentor, Doc Louis. The second choice is a “true-to-life” replica of Mario’s hat.

Gold members are reported to receive a special 2010 calendar.

For the sake of filling up my room with more video game junk, I’m going to have to go with the Mario hat.

Zombies to consoles and the iPhone. Currently only available on PC and Mac, the quirky desktop tower defense type game has sold well quickly enough to be their next title to buy multiple times on different platforms (I own Peggle on 4). It seems the only people that were confirmed to be ineligible to get the game would be normal mobile phone users:

“I don’t think you’ll see Plants vs. Zombies on a mobile phone,” Garth said, “I think you may see it on the iPhone…some of our games, we would just say, ‘you know? We could probably sell a million of these, but people aren’t going to be happy with it.”

I can already feel my legs getting numb at the thought of having Plants vs. Zombies readily available for me to play on the toilet.
