Games are fun! Ai-Kon's all about doing fun stuff, so it's only natural to hold events that pit attandees against each other for the sake of having a good time. Test your skills and knowledge in all of the contests and games we have to offer.
 

Gamers Lounge

Everyone's certainly familiar with the electronic entertainment that almost everyone likes to spend at least a little time with these days. We've got stations lined up with the latest technology for those of you who've yet to try it out.

And, of course, how fun would a games room be without a little bit of competition? Several tournaments will be drafted up in your favorite games, where you'll go against all comers for pride and prizes. We'll be running the gamut of genres so that no matter what you're into, there'll be something you're good enough at to have a chance to aim for the top. If you like fighting games, there's a multitude of choices for you ranging from Blaz Blue to Smash Brothers. Music's more your thing? Show off your crazy legwork in Dance Dance Revolution, or if you're more of a sit-down-and-relax kind of person, perhaps Rock Band is for you.
 

We always value your input, and it'll be you guys playing the games, so drop by ourgaming forums to tell us what you'd like!
