    Psst. Hey, kid. Want to see something you haven't seen before? Yeah, I know, we normally don't traffic in exclusives, but this one's something you'll want to keep an eye on.
        

    No Caption Provided
    (Oh, hey, get a larger version of the shot right here, cool?) 
     
    That right there is a screenshot of Bastion, an action-RPG set for release in 2011 on PC and consoles by Supergiant Games. It's one of the selections for the PAX 10 this year. The PAX 10, in case you didn't know, is an annual collection of 10 independent games, whittled down from a stack of over 100 submissions by a rigorous selection process run by the Penny Arcade guys. Bastion is in pretty good company this year, alongside games like Altitude, Super Meat Boy, and Retro City Rampage.

    All 10 of the selections will be shown at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle next weekend, but we'll have some information on Bastion in the days before the show that you'll almost certainly be interested in seeing. After that, we'll spend some time during September 9's Big Live Live Show: Live with the team currently working on the game to find out how their PAX debut went and what lies ahead as they continue building Bastion.

    Do not miss it.

    Cool, looks like the polygons they used to make 3d-style sprites out of, like Super Mario RPG and Donkey Kong Country.

    On the one hand: looks cool, I'll keep an eye out for more info on it. On the other hand: another cartoony action RPG gets into the PAX 10, while Frozen Synapse doesn't? Man, I don't get that at all.

    I really really really hope super meat boy comes to a portable platform as it looks so awesome and would rather be able to take it with me than jsut have at home. 
     
    For once I'm lucky that I'm in the UK as it means the live show is on at a perfect time and I can hopefully be more involved.

    Man, there's been kind of a rebirth of action RPGs lately, what with the Torchlight and DeathSpank games and then Diablo 3 looming on the horizon.
     
    This looks okay too though!

    Fucking conventions EVERY TWO DAYS.
     
    Anyway, this looks like another poor man's Diablo. Can't blame people for jumping on board, but I'm not sure if I'm af an of the slightly "3D Dot Game Heroes" look of this one.
