NARP update: GameUnicon 09 happening today! photo

The biggest videogame convention in New England is happing today! GameUnicon 2009 is going to be open around the clock until Sunday evening and a three day pass is just $40!

GameUnicon 2009 is going to have over 30 tournaments with over $10,000 in prizes up for grabs and pros from around the country are swinging on by including Justin Wong, the Street Fighter IV EVO 09 runner up. On top of that, there will be over 100 freeplay setups, musical performances by Freezepop, Powerglove, Konami Kode, The Megas, celebrity guests, panels, movie rooms and much more!

All this for $40 is a steal! DtoidNewEngland will be hitting up the event and you can get plenty more details on GameUnicon over on the official Web site.

@bloodylip Yeah thats what everyone thinks when they first read it. The B&M/ebay store its based off of is called Game Universe, so they shortened "Game Universe Convention" to Game Unicon. But, if there are unicorns there that would only make it EVEN BETTER.
