Join us on FRIDAY at PAX East 2026 for our Magnificent 7 (out of 10) panel!

Let’s talk about our favorite first party games that weren’t the best but were good enough (for us)!

Heading to PAX East this week? We are! And we’re bringing some amazing friends with us! It’s time for our FIFTH ANNUAL panel about 7-rated games — and this year will be extra special!

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (OUT OF TEN)

Even platform holders make plenty of games that aren’t going to be chiseled into a Game of the Year Mount Rushmore. But that’s okay! These First Party games are often second fiddle but that just makes them even more near and dear to our hearts. The panel will go over our favorite First Party “okay” games, rank them in a tier quiz, ask the audience for theirs and GIVE OUT SOME PRIZES.

Derek Van Dyke (any/all) [Host and Editor, at Castle Bravo and Pixel Spectrum]
