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.

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else.
