It wouldn’t be called “Quakecon” without Quake of course. There will be big-money pro tournaments and live matches throughout the day featuring id Software’s free-to-play, web-based multi-player game Quake Live with  the new 250-seat arena that will allow spectators to get up close and personal with the competitors as well as large screens with commentary from the shoutcasters so attendees will be able to view all the action and excitement at all times.

Can’t bring your own computer? Quakecon has you covered there too, as attendees will be able to get hands on with  some of the most anticipated future releases at there such as Brink,Fallout:New Vegas, and Hunted: The Demon’s Forge.

So if contests, tournaments, entertainment, announcements, panel discussions, and parties plus a whole lot more are your thing on top of going to one of gaming’s biggest events this year, Quakecon will be your destination in August. For more information, head to www.quakecon.org.
