PAX has announced this year’s winners for the PAX 10 Independent Games Showcase.
The ten winners were picked from over 150 submissions.

Here’s the list for this year:

You can now pre-order Machinarium and you will be sent the download link with the final version of the game as soon as it’s officially released (which is planned for October 2009).

Pre-ordering has several advantages:

  • You’ll save $3.  The price is now $17 instead of $20 after releasing.
  • You will immediately receive “Pre-order Pack” which includes 5 hi-res pictures and 5 MP 3 tracks from Machinarium Soundtrack.
  • With the game you will get also Machinarium Soundtrack by Floex.
  • You will feel great by supporting indie developers;)
