If you want a peek at what'll be dominating the downloadable headlines in the year ahead, hang around the PAX 10.

Heavy hitters like Bastion, Super Meat Boy, Audiosurf and The Maw are just a handful of the games part of the PAX 10 in the past. This year's lineup was just announced, and includes some familiar faces like Fez and Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony, alongside plenty you've (probably) never heard of.

The complete breakdown of each game's featured on the PAX website, but I've included a gallery of the complete lineup below. The gallery corresponds in order to the list that's just above the games, too.

• A Flipping Good Time
• Antichamber
• Atom Zombie Smasher
• Fez
• Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony
• Snapshot
• Solar 2
• Splatters
• Vanessa Saint-Pierre Delacroix & Her Nightmare
• Word Fighter

PAX Prime takes place once again in downtown Seattle, August 26 through August 28.

Solar 2 is the best one, so there.

Atom Zombie Smasher is surprisingly fun too.

The only reason I know some of this games is because of QLs.

nice line up of games

Word Fighter looks cool.

A good deal of these games are already out. Maybe they are coming on other platforms?

I picked this up when it was on sale (on Steam) the other day and have been having a lot of fun with it. It can be super hard though, not that that's a bad thing. I'm just questioning my ability to actually save humanity from the zeds.

Fez still isn't out yet? Is it me or does that seem like an awfully long wait for an indie game?

Fez, awesome!

Fez!

Pax 10 in '11

FEZ! Man I hope that game finally comes out this year. Stoked to get the chance to check it out at PAX though :)

Please announce a release date for Fez!

Atom Zombie Smacher's good...haven't played any of the rest

Wasn't PAX just like... two months before E3? Maybe I'm getting old, but I'm really getting "conferenced/expo'd"-out.

I've played Splatters, it seems okay. Very simple though... Kinda felt like a kids game. But only had a short go on it.

Atom Zombie Smasher is pretty fun. I picked it up on the Steam sale and it's been a fun buy.

" Vanessa Saint-Pierre Delacroix & Her Nightmare" What a fucking awesome title! 

I do wish they had fewer games that were already out.  It's not like indie games are expensive. I'm not even saying they should have released nidie games at PAX, I just think the PAX 10 should showcase upcoming games.  I'm torn on Digipen projects, which can't ever be released.  But I weigh exposure for a talented team over me getting to play a game. 

A flipping good time is really fun and it's free for PC. And although I haven't played any of the other games I'm surprised how many are out already.

I really like Atom Zombie Smasher. I think I bought it as part of an Indie Games pack, while on sale. Definitely worth a play. It's sort of a Tower Defence game but is really well done and moves at a good pace. Don't let the whole "Zombies in video games" thing put you off.

Edit: Word Fighter isn't out yet? What a tease. I love Boggle and Street Fighter, would have bought this instantly.

Some of these games are already out. I thought they only selected upcoming games. Weird.

Wow, that's certainly an eclectic selection.

I agree with Atom Zombie Smasher. Its been out for a while though. And Fez seems like it'll never come out.

Ya it is pretty cool. Its a student game too.

That was PAX East, in Boston. This is PAX Prime in Seattle. It was made bi-coastal so more people could get to the show, after all, PAX is all about fans.

Want Fez real hard.

Jamestown is awesome.

Looking forward to a hopeful release date for Fez. Been watching that game...like many others...for a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time!

I found "queer" in the Word Fighter screenshot. I've already won.

That's a murders row of downloadable games.

No Orcs Must Die? To bad...

@creiij: Seriously, the game was freaking awesome at East this year.
