The Fantastic Arcade festival begins today. The wildly ambitious independent video game festival, which is spun off from the popular film event Fantastic Fest, includes an indie games showcase, machinima competition screening, music events, panels, game demos and some game previews from Microsoft for upcoming Xbox Live Arcade games.
You can read my preview of the event from today’s American-Statesman here. We’ll be doing some Digital Savant blog entries from the festival as we’re able to as well.
