Hey everyone, I'm back to recap day two of my time here at PAX 2010 in Seattle, Washington. Yesterday was an amazing first day of festivities and we were told that day two was going to be even crazier. I can tell you after surviving today that today's event was A LOT busier than yesterday.

While day one of the event certainly felt like thousands of people were attending the show, it still didn't feel like 75,000 people were expected to arrive at PAX. After today I will not doubt that number because EVERYWHERE was packed. There were a number of incredibly long line-ups throughout the show and trust me if you're a fan of games there were a TON of them to check out that were worthwhile. The gamer in me was as a giddy as a schoolgirl seeing all the available games to play. Before the show started I decided to take a walk around and see some of the cool stuff that was available.

I had the chance to try out a few of the different games that were there before the show was open to the public and I had an awesome time doing that. The first hour form 9am to 10am was for media only so we had a lot of people come in to check out titles as well as exhibitors going around and checking out other games from other companies. We had a number of different media and exhibitors come into the EA SPORTS booth to check out both NBA JAM and NHL Slapshot and everyone who came by was definitely impressed by the offerings of the two titles.

When the doors were finally opened to the general public the EA SPORTS booth didn't have any difficulty whatsoever in having crowds come in to try out the various games. There were a number of games of NBA JAM being played with screams of joy and sorrow echoing throughout the booth. It was awesome seeing everyone have a good time playing NHL Slapshot and really getting into the game. We had a number of EA SPORTS staff helping to provide demos for the games at the booth (myself included) and once everyone got a semblance of the different controls in both Slapshot and JAM everyone was off and running and having a good time.

Tomorrow is the final day of PAX 2010 and it will be interesting to see who will win the arcade cabinet that we are giving away via a raffle and be sure to play NBA JAM for a chance to be able to enter to win the arcade cabinet if you're attending the event. If you're unable to attend the show be sure to read the blogs or follow me on Twitter (@blackflash83) for all the latest happenings at PAX 2010.

I'll be back tomorrow to cap off the final day of PAX 2010 and let you know what went down for the final day of th event. See you guys tomorrow!

Thanks!
