PAX East 2011 video game convention scenes

Id Software senior producer Jason Kim (right) and design director Matt Cooper during a live demonstration of RAGE, a new first-person shooter set in a ruined, Road Warrior-like post-apocalyptic world of guns, mutants, and survivors. 'You try to rebuild society but nothing goes according to plan,' said Cooper. During the demo, the sold out crowd cheered every time a bad guy in the game got his head blown apart.
