We’ve officially gone monthly!

After the massive success of the second Casual Gamers Night we have decided to make this a monthly event at the Gamestore.

For those who don’t know how this works or simply would like a refresher, once a month we hit up the Last Gamestore after closing starting at 7pm and hook up all different kinds of systems. This allows us to have a varied playlist, everything from the Atari to the Xbox 360 and we’ve always got a few bonus surprises up our sleeves as well. These events are not to be missed as they feature the most diverse playlist of games you’ll ever see in a public event.
