PAX is a fun place to be when the sun goes down, check it out below.
MOGA, the mobile gaming controller for Android phones from PowerA, is the next evolution of mobile gaming controllers. It snaps right on to any Android smartphone, giving you full control over the games you play. Playing games on your phone can be tons of fun, but we think most people would agree, when the game's UI takes up half the screen, it can be a little frustrating. That's exactly where MOGA comes in. We got the chance to give the device a whirl at PAX Prime 2012, and you can read on to see our thoughts.

Watch PAX PRIME 2012 on G4TV
Starts SEPTEMBER 10 at 6:30/5:30c
If you couldn't make it to PAX Prime, X-Play has you covered as always. Starting September 10th, 2012 at 6:30/5:30c, Blair Herter, Morgan Webb and Kristin Adams will be bringing you three days of wall-to-wall game coverage and all the latest news to come out of the convention.
Remember at the end of Portal 2 when the companion cube get spat out at Chell’s feet in the middle of that generic cornfield? Well, until relatively late into development, that cube was going to be a turret…as in, married…to Chell. “What?!” you no doubt just said out loud to yourself, preferably around a bunch of strangers who are now looking at you with curious yet slightly terrified eyes. I know, crazy right?
During their PAX Prime 2012 panel, Valve writers Chet Faliszek and Erik Wolpaw revealed that the team had developed an entire subplot where Chell did in fact get married to a turret. Remnants of this subplot can still be seen in the game, specifically in the name of the disproportionally larger turret you might have spotted in the game, which is “the Turret Wife.”
At Pax 2012 today, legendary game designer Hideo Kojima showed off a big chunk of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes. The game is open world, with vehicles, but with a stealth twist. Kojima said MGS: Ground Zeroes is not Metal Gear Solid 5; it's a "prologue."
Prologue or not, the game looks amazing. Built on the Fox Engine, the demo level shown featured a long cut-scene (naturally) that transitioned seamlessly to in-engine gameplay footage. According to Kojima, the lushly detailed demo gameplay we saw is not for next-gen systems. This is how it will look on your PS3 or 360. Although Kojima pointed out that the game is scalable to next-gen systems.
We have a few rad PAX Prime 2012 cosplay photo galleries for you to check out. PAX Prime 2012 is the kickass gaming convention that takes place at the end of summer in Seattle. Gamers who love to dress up, or cosplay, head to the event to show off their costumes. Below you'll find pictures of the show-floor, booths, and of course cosplayers!
PAX Prime 12 began in a strangely fitting venue: Seattle's opulent Paramount theater. Built in 1928, The Paramount was created as a showcase for the then cutting-edge creative technology of movies. Since the 20s, the theater has hosted some of the most important musical artists of the 20th century. At PAX, the Paramount's stage is a showcase for a new kind of artist working in the current cutting edge creative technology of video game. Ted Price, the founder and CEO of Insomniac games, started PAX 2012 with a speech geared toward encouraging creativity, and judging by the reaction of the nearly 3,000 gamers in attendance, the man knows his audience well.
"We are all creators," Price told the assembled Pax-faithful. "Playing video games is creating...Every time you start a Call of Duty match, it's like a blank canvas-- but you're painting with bullets," he said.
