More from PAX: The Exhibition Floor
Even with long lines and crowded hallways, PAX attendees didn’t have to wait terribly long to play games on the exhibition floor on Friday. There’s a solid showing of recently released and upcoming games for the Xbox 360, PS3, and Nintendo Wii. Perhaps the biggest draw are the music games, which have a large presence on the show floor this year. Guitar Hero World Tour, Singstar, Wii Music, Rhythm Heaven, and Rockband 2 were all playable, with Rockband 2 consistently drawing the biggest crowds.
