After a full pass of the entire expo hall, we found ourselves hovering through the many indie games featured in the PAX Rising section&nbsp;with our&nbsp;favourites including the wacky&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.inflatality.com\/\">Inflatality<\/a>, the swinging bonanza <a href=\"http:\/\/swordygame.com\/\">Swordy<\/a> and the mountain climbing multiplayer <a href=\"http:\/\/goatpunks.com\/\">Goat Punks<\/a>. There were of course so many other awesome&nbsp;games and exhibitors as well&nbsp;but we&#8217;d be here all day talking about them :P.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s my photos from the day. If only I could feature every game I saw (Pax really needs a better online system for finding exhibitors\/games, especially those in the PAX Rising section). I&#8217;ve noted when images link to their the relevant&nbsp;project (mostly indie titles) so please go and check them out!
