The Casual Gamers of Halifax are rockin August 15th at the last game store in Halifax. This months addition is a gaming potluck. If you have a legit copy of a game you want to show off this is the time to do it!

also… SCOTT PILGRIM GAME! *spaz spaz spaz* so excited!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We’re going to start y’all off with a few games, but the rest of the stations will be entirely open for everyone to bring their own games! We’ll announce a few systems that will be available, but if this is going to work we really need you guys to bring us the games you want to play! With that said, we have:

Tekken 6 (360) – There has been some interest in… getting a Tekken scene started so we decided to help these guys with some exposure. Try it out if you never played it before and even if you’re not a fan, give it a second chance. You never know, right?

Super Street Fighter IV (360) – Who doesn’t play a little Street Fighter, am I right?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game (NES in the video challenge machine) – Catchy music and jump kicks for everyone!

Shmup station (360) – Deathsmiles, Raiden IV, 1-Up and more! See all the unique shmups local reviewer Serraxor has to show off!

Scott Pilgrim vs The World (PS3) – If the following video doesn’t explain why this should be awesome, then I don’t know what else to say ha ha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAY4vNJd7A8

On top of those five games, we’ll have a Super Nintendo, a Nintendo 64 and a Dreamcast set up for people to bring and show off their favourite games. We might even have room for another system so let us know what you want and what you’re bringing!

See you all on the 15th!
