The chosen ten of PAX Prime 2012 revealed

PAX Prime 2012 is creeping up ever so quickly. August 31 is only about a month-and-a-half away, which really isn’t that far from now. That means news about the show is starting to trickle out, and because of this we now know what this year’s selections for the PAX 10 are.

Of course, this being news may require some sort of context. Previous PAX 10 lists have featured games like Polytron’s FEZ, pixelized shmup Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony, the ever-bloody Super Meat Boy and the gruffly-narrated Bastion, so it’s a pretty high honor to be chosen. These lists have a pretty good track record of highlighting incredible projects before their release. Check out the full list after the jump.
