GameUniCon 09, New England's biggest videogame convention photo

Hey New England Dtoiders! Bored that no major videogame related event happens in your state? Will worry no more!

GameUniCon, the biggest videogame convention in New England, is set to take place this August 21 to August 23 at the Best Western Royal Plaza in Marlborough, MA. There’s going to be over 30 tournaments with cash prizes going over $10,000, there will be concerts with Freezepop, Powerglove, Konamie Kod and there’s going to be over 100 screens setup for freeplay with all sorts of videogame consoles.

Not only that, but there will industry guests, celebrity guests, such as Velvet Sky from TNA Wrestling Knockout, panels, movie rooms and more. Best of all, a three day pass is only $40 and the Con is open around the clock. You can get the three day pass for $30 if you enter one of the tournaments.

You can get your passes over on GameUniCon’s official Web site and you better hurry before passes sell out. This Con sounds absolutely amazing. There’s going to be so much to do and the passes are so cheap! Anyone planning on attending? Hit the break for a full breakdown of the games on the tournament circuit.

Sweeeet. I met the guy that is running this at Anime Boston (he had his own booth in the dealers room), and he was promoting the event.

Glad to see Dtoid giving it some advertisement!

Wow that's a better concert lineup than PAX this year. Depressing. Not that I'm going to either of these.

Around the clock? As in, it literally doesn't close down for the night? That sounds awesome. It's a shame I am on the opposite corner of the country.

If anyone not from the area is interested in this, just as an FYI there is no train or bus that runs anywheres near here, you're pretty much stuck with driving. I used to live within walking distance of here, disappointed it didn't happen when I actually lived there.
