Microsoft Unveils Lineup For PAX East

Major Nelson has revealed on his official blog Microsoft's full lineup of titles and events at the Xbox 360 Booth #524 for PAX East 2012.

Microsoft will feature several Kinect titles including Kinect Sports: Season Two, Kinect Star Wars, Wreckateer, Crimson Dragon, and Steel Battalion Heavy Armor. The booth for the last game on that list will be fully-themed and attendees have the opportunity to receive tattoos, T-shirts, and a brand new Xbox 360 with Kinect bundle.

Several downloadable titles for Xbox Live Arcade will also appear: Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition, Deadlight, Trials Evolution, Fable: Heroes, Bloodforge, and Dust: An Elysian Tail. I must give a shout-out to Deadlight, which I saw earlier this year at the Microsoft Spring Showcase. It combines 2D zombie survival with elements of the classic Flashback and a gorgeous art style (see the screenshot above!).

Felicia Day will highlight Geek & Sundry, a premium YouTube channel that "features the best of indie geek culture and the internet's foremost geek voices", by appearing at the booth on Friday starting at 2pm and Saturday at 11am. She will playing Mass Effect 3 with fans on Xbox Live as well as signing autographs.

Between 1pm and 2pm daily, attendees can also try to "Beat the Developer" at the new XBLA game Fable: Heroes, where the winner will take home a custom Fable: Heroes Xbox 360 console.
