From [URL=http://go2.wordpress.com/?id=725X1342&site=gregmurph.wordpress.com&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebrokencontroller.com%2F&sref=]Broken Controller's[/URL] Aaron Bradley at the Dejobaan games booth, which apparently drew more interest from hip PAX geeks (no, that's not an oxymoron anymore) than EA's [I]Dante's Inferno[/I] setup:
