Games of PAX09

So I went to PAX09 last weekend. And what do you think I did there?
That's right I played games and went to panels about games. Man was it a blast, got to play those games that you guys wish you could play right now. So your asking your self "what games where at PAX?" well I'll tell you. Lots, there were lots of games there to play that I didn't get to them all. like some big hitters like Halo 3: ODST, Mass Effect 2, The Beatles: RockBand, MAG, Tim Schafer's Brutal Legend, Darksiders, Uncharted 2, Assassins Creed II, Star Wars: Old Republic, WET, to Blizzards two new games Starcraft II and Diablo III. There were also some not so big games there too, like the PAX10 games which is where people enter in there indie games in and Tycho and Gabe (I'm sure with others) pick out the 10 best indie games. the one that caught my interest was Closure.

So the idea around Closure is that the world only exists in the light, and when in the dark there's nothing, as in empty space. the only source of light is an orb of light which you can carry with you and move it. for example you come up to a wall (in the light), you can back up just enough to were the wall is not visable, drop the orb then walk through the wall. And thats just one of the puzzles you have to do in the game.
