The east coast seems to nearly always draw the short straw when it comes to gaming conventions. E3, San Diego Comic Con, and PAX this year all took place somewhere out west.

However, this March, PAX comes to Boston for PAX East, and is likely to draw quite a crowd.

Registration is now open for the event officially dubbed PAX East 2010, and held in Boston Friday,March 26 to Sunday, March 28.

“We’re bringing the craziness the fans have come to expect from PAX, but with an East Coast twist,” said Robert Khoo of Penny Arcade. “Most of all this will be a place where you can be yourself with fellow gamers.”

Lots more information on the nerd gathering can be found at the event’s official page.
