Johann Sebastian's Joust



One of my favorite parts about PAX is the PAX 10, a collection of the 10 best independent games showcased at the expo. I've never been disappointed with it and this year doesn't look to be any different. One of the most unique games being showcased this year is Johann Sebastion Joust, a "no-graphics, digitally-enabled playground game for 2 to 7 players, designed for motion controllers such as the PlayStation Move." Instead of using a screen to play the game, players must keep their controller still as they attempt to push over opponents. The faster the music gets the faster one can move, but the tricky part comes with the frequent changes in tempo. Games like this really push the medium forward and I can't wait to get my hands on it, it looks ridiculously fun.
