Summertime is here, and this week is the official opening of the 2010 SXSW Panel Picker. Now's the time to submit your video game-related panel ideas for March 2010 to SXSW Interactive for ScreenBurn at SXSW. All panel submissions will be due no later than Friday, July 10, 2009.

While you're enjoying your summer schedule, don't forget to check out some of the coolest new casual games from developer's here in Austin, Texas: Red Fly's Ghostbusters on the Wii and Blazing Lizard's Pirates vs. Ninja Dodgeball on the Wii. Also keep your eyes out for the upcoming releases of Tiger Style's Spider on the iPhone and Semi Secret Software's Fathom in Flash.
