Now open 24 hours during the weekend, it spans over 140,000 square feet and includes classic arcade games, PC and LAN gaming, console tournaments and freeplay, board and card gaming, RPGs, and LARP. The convention includes another 105,000 square feet of vendors, international and indie game developers and celebrity autographs.
