It's the morning of PAX '11, the sun is peaking over  the trees, and everything feels right with the world. I'm about to embark on my fifth-annual trip to the bestest gamers show in the United States, and possibly the Universe.  
From my limited PAX experience, the show seems to follow a pattern of lulls and highs, and this year is most certainly a high. I'm struggling to keep track of all the amazing games that will be on the show floor today, but I'll try to list as many as I can below anyway.  
 Each day I'll be posting a new blog detailing what I played that day, what impressed me, disappointed me, or surprised me. The lines will be longer than ever, so I'll be sort-of be crossing my fingers, hoping to get to everything. If there's another "Duke Nukem Forever" my whole schedule could be thrown off, but could there possibly be something prepared to knock Duke off of his broad, muscular shoulders? Blasphemy! 
 
THE GAMES: 
Assassin's Creed: Revelations 
Batman: Arkham City 
Mass Effect 3 
Elder Scrolls: Skyrim 
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier 
Rage  
Halo 4/Anniversary
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword 
Counter Strike: GO  
Dead Island
 
In this pre-dawn daze, i'm not thinking of all that's coming out, so if I'm forgetting something major, TELL ME. I'll do my best to get to it. 

ALL HAIL BALL!
