Penny Arcade Expo 2009

Posted by earvcunanan, 08 September 2009 · 145 views

I found out about PAX on the same day I went! I never knew they held this thing every year in Seattle (where I live). Let me tell ya, the experience was simply amazing. I got to play Mass Effect 2, Starcraft II, Diablo III, Borderlands, Bayonetta, No More Heroes 2, God of War III, Heavy Rain, MAG, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time, Scribblenauts, Uncharted 2 and a lot more.

I saw a lot of neat cosplayers and some other interesting people. Got a chance to talk with the Borderlands developers, as well as the Guild Wars 2 developers.

I got a lot of free swag - shirts, posters, buttons, unlockable in-game content via rave cards given out, and lots of beta codes for certain games. Sony was giving away the Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter Edition (only 200 made) to whoever won from a random drawing.

Admission was only $30 and everything I got could easily pay that off and more. I seriously got a big bag full of stuff.

I thought it was sold out before the event open. How did you get in when tickets were sold out already?
PAX was amazing my first time going.. It was worth trip to Seattle easily.. The experience was simply amazing.

I got a lot of free swag - shirts, posters, buttons, autographs, unlockable in-game content via rave cards given out, and lots of beta codes for certain games.

I got a three day pass for $50 and everything I got could easily pay that off and more. I seriously got a big bag full of stuff as well...
Yeah, did you buy a scalped badge? They reportedly sold out of daily badges weeks ago.
Would you mind posting impressions of NMH2, GoW3, Uncharted 2, Diablo 3, Borderlands, and Uncharted2?

I know its a long list but I like to hear the impressions of a regular person and not a gaming journalist (lawl).
Yeah, I'd like to hear impressions on those games from the OP, too (or anyone else who went to PAX and played them) as well as Heavy Rain, Bayonetta, and Scribblenauts.
