Pimp Your SXSW Panel Picker 2: The Pickening
But what can you really say about your panel in 140 characters (including link and title)? Just like we did last year, we’re offering a place in the comments for this post for you, the panel organizer, helper or panelist, to tell us why people should vote for your Interactive panel. Feel free to link directly to the panel and give us your hardest sell. Want to see how it’s done? Take a look at last year’s pimpery or this Facebook group specifically devoted to the topic.
If you post comments replying to any of these, please be respectful and stay on topic.
So, here we go. The Second-Annual Pimp Your SXSW Interactive Panel Picker. Take it away!

Lara Croft, Kane and Lynch star in this week’s new game releases
New video game releases this week:
“Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light” — A new Lara Croft/”Tomb Raider” game is nothing unusual, but this is the first one to be released download-only with new levels promised for the coming months to add to the game. It’ll also add a co-op multiplayer feature to the Xbox 360 game through an update in late September when the PlayStation 3 and Windows PC versions are released. “Guardian of Light” includes the usual array of puzzles, exploration and gunplay, but in smaller, more digestible chunks. Also: undead warriors! Rated T for Teen. $15, downloadable for Xbox 360.
“Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days” — The first “Kane and Lynch” was an over-the-top action game that was even more violent and loaded with machismo than most console shooters. Gritty or gratuitous? If it’s your cup of tea, the sequel adds a new cover system, undercover cops and, charmingly, human shields. Add these features to the usual array of cooperative play, an arcade mode and online heist modes and you’ve got the video game equivalent of a big, brainless summer movie. Rated M for Mature. $50-$60, for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC.
Also out this week: “Gold’s Gym Dance Workout” (Nintendo Wii), “Ys Seven” (Sony PSP), “Victoria II” (PC), “City of Heroes: Going Rogue” (PC), “Challenge Me Brain Puzzles 2” (Nintendo DS, Wii, PC), “Montessori Music” (DS), “Dawn of Heroes” (DS), “Ultimate Crime Thriller Collection” (PC), “Brunswick Zone Cosmic Bowling” (Wii), “Deer Drive” (DS), “Mysteries & Treasures: Adventures of the Mary Celeste” (PC).
