Now listen up game geeks! You might think that your ability to game is a god given right, and it is... but there are some egg head government types in the USA, particularly California, that could change all this. They are trying to put the foot down on the games industry which will result in less and poorer quality games. "But, I don't live in the USA!" you say - well it doesn't matter smart ass! If things get all messed up in America the ripple effect will change gaming for the world. Modern Warfare, Gears of War, Medal of Honour, kiss their grandchildren goodbye if these suits get their way!

Its Irish! Its for Gamers! Its the beginning of something Big!! No, I'm not talking about a giant green gaming leprechaun, I'm talking about the 'Gamer Expo' this October! Just imagine the global gaming community traveling to Ireland for one of the biggest gaming events of the year.

Then get your ass down to the Gamer Expo in Citywest this October, it is going to be big and sexy! Give it some good old Irish backing! So, what to expect...? There will be 4 big LAN war arenas for all the multi player heads where they can take part in tournaments and win stuff! Check out the new and preview titles in the Demo zone. There will also be tecky stuff to oogle at like 3D gaming telly's and you can even hit the retail area to splash your cash if your in the mood. If that doesn't keep you happy then head over to the Gamer Lounge where ya can chill with a drink and get some grub while ya chat about what to do next. There will be developer talks for those with a keener interest in the games industry and on the last day there will be a big Cos Play where everyone dresses up like a total loony in order to win the top prize, what the hell, its on Halloween day anyway!
