A big hello to everyone in Seattle – we’re exhibiting at PAX Prime! The rad dude team of Phil, Ben and Luke will be at the booth every day this weekend for some awesome hands-on gameplay action. Come by and say hi!

We’ll have Raskulls featuring massive four-player competitions on a huge plasma screen. If our experience at PAX East taught us anything, it’s that Raskulls multiplayer kicks some major ass! Come by, choose your favorite character and get boned. We’ll also be giving away free Raskulls badges for players, so come along for some sweet swag.

On top of that, we’ll have Fruit Ninja, Monster Dash and Age of Zombies playable on the tables, with none other than Luke himself guiding players through the action. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about the development and execution of top tier iPhone titles!

Best of all, you can finally get your hands on a piece of Raskulls or Fruit Ninja merchandise. T-shirts and toys will be available, as well as full packs of character badges. It’s all pretty much awesome, and this stock is your very first chance to grab some sweet Halfbrick gear.

We look forward to seeing you all there! As the token Australian exhibitors, we totally don’t mind kangaroo and dingo jokes. We’ll also say mate if you ask us nicely.
