PAX West 2019: Join GameSpot For Our Panel On Loving Games We Thought We'd Dislike

PAX West 2019 has been a fun show that's packed with plenty of cool games to check out. There's going to be some heavy hitters like Final Fantasy VII Remake, Borderlands 3, and Marvel's Avengers, but PAX West will also host a number of indie titles looking to leave their mark. Some of the most fun to be had, however, can be found at the panels and community events happening over the course of the show.

In addition to our general coverage of the show, which you can keep track of on our PAX hub page, GameSpot will also host a panel on September 1 focusing on games that left a notable and lasting impression--despite making a poor first impression on us. Joining editor Michael Higham and video producers Jean-Luc Seipke and Jake Dekker are, Giant Bomb's Abby Russell, USGamer's Mike Williams, and freelance writer Ginny Woo, all of which will highlight their dark horse picks. You can find all the panel info you need on the PAX West official site, but here's the rundown on what our panel is all about:

Surprise! It’s your favorite game you thought you’d never touch. Join GameSpot and friends as they unpack why certain games overcame our apparent disdain for a certain genre or style of game.
