Our new All-Ages Table Our new All-Ages Table
This year we're taking it back a little for the spawn we bring to the con, our kids. We will have a dedicated table in consoles between 9am and 10pm just for all-ages use. A variety of kids friendly titles will also be available to playing.

Think your kid is mature enough, then visit the staff in the consoles area and have their badge marked to show your approval of them playing Mature rated games. This will allow kids access to any console that may currently be playing a mature rated game on the all-ages table. Note, that due to language and other non-appropriate behavior, we ask that kids under the age of 14 not attend the main console room for Our Midnight Games. This is the time us adults would like to behave like kids.

If kids under the age of 14 wish to use consoles after 3am till 7am, we ask a parent of guardian assist us in monitoring them. All other times are open for them to play. We thank you for your understanding.

There will be a second console table specifically for ages 14 and over. Kids under 14 will not be allowed to participate in those games but will have access to games on the all-ages table.


PopCap Arcade! PopCap Arcade!
PopCap is back again with all sorts of games to play. Bejeweled, AstroPop, Feeding Frenzy, Heavy Metal and Zuma return each day for High score winners. Each day we'll select the highest in each game to award Uber points to get stuff from our Uber hoard.

We'll also have a Popcap Tournament so get in on our prelims to secure your spot in the finals for the big prize.

Rock Band 2 Rock Band 2
RockBand returns this time as RockBand 2, it's new more mature version. Our Tournament will return again with yet another prize pack of Harmonix Swag. Look forward to some smoother play as we will make use of the new features like 'Stage Mode' that will make tournament play much nicer.

Our main RockBand Xbox 360 is loaded to the gills with every DLC from RockBand 1, all of Rock Band 1 songs (minus a few they had reasons for not allowing in RB2, yes only 3) and the full silo of RockBand 2 songs it has come out with. In total, over 300+ songs spanning the full Rock Genre.

Friday will be our early bird Preliminaries so all you 3 day pass people can get your bands in the mix without fighting the Saturday rush. A second Preliminary will be held on Saturday for up to 16 bands in total fighting it out in the Finals.

So come by and play test RockBand 2, check out the differences, belt out some tunes. The area will be open the whole 48 hours of the convention minus a midnight use of the room on Saturday and a the Tournaments.
