If you’re in the Seattle area for PAX West next week (or for any other reason), Microsoft wants you to know that you can pay them a visit to see more than 50 ID@Xbox games at the ID@Xbox Pre-PAX Open House.

The  ID@Xbox Pre-PAX Open House is set to occur on Thursday, September 1st from 5:00 to 9:00 PM at Microsoft campus — Building 92.  For the third year in a row, the event is also open for  Xbox fans 18 and older (under 18 with parent/guardian) for free, with no PAX credentials needed. Parking will also be free, and complimentary buses will also provide transportation from the Washington State Convention Center to building 92.

On showcase at the Pre-PAX Open House will be more than 50 upcoming ID@Xbox titles, and a number of newly announced and several that will be publically playable for the first time ever. You will also have the chance to meet developers, see the Microsoft Campus, stop by the Visitor Center to explore the latest Microsoft innovations, and even get some collectible pins for the games (while supplies last!)
