The move to the Convention Center means more space for the Video Game Room to grow this year. As always, we will showcase the best polygon and pixel generated fun with a mix of cutting edge and "old school" videogaming. The latest and classic console systems will be available for open gaming throughout the weekend.

Perennial favorites such as Super Smash Brothers, Halo, Tekken, Soul Calibur, and DDR, etc. will be available to play. Newer games like Guitar Hero, Naruto, One Piece, and Samurai Champloo will also be playable. We will have networked console systems to play games like X-Box's Halo 2 and Gamecube's Mario Kart Double Dash.
