The official announcement will come soon but for now I want everyone to know whats going on. Virtual Rush is currently in the middle of moving and doesn't have a new venue yet. In Fact they won't be open most likely when the Winter Brawl takes place. So I have taken the steps necessary to keep everything on track. Winter Brawl will take place on Feb 28th and so far it looks like it might be held at the Sheraton Hotel in Philadelphia. Its about 2 miles from the airport. I have openeed up registration so I can afford the room, so feel free to sign up ahead of time.

VGXPO tournament results

First off this was the most horrible experience I have ever been a part of. I was promised a lot of stuff from the VGXPO people to help run this whole thing smoothly and then I got left hanging when it came to game time. I had to push back the tournament because we didn't have a ps3 with SC4 stuff or a copy of the game for that matter. We had the vgxpo staff screwing everything up from the brackets to registration to changing my rules. Once we finally got a copy tyo play I was forced to do a 44 man single elim tourney with the final 4 going into double elim to get a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place rankings.

The Annual Review

By Hesham "Red dragon" Bahhur



In the recent times, we have begin to see more released titles, new features to next generation consoles, and gamer created ideas that are either considered or used by current developers. In my busy schedule, I managed to gather enough spare time to take a close look at some new and old titles and review them.

The idea of making a full return to journalism.

As you may have noticed, the last two years GVN has spent mostly running game tournaments and not doing so much in the jouralism field. Well, with the addition of a new member, Red Dragon, I am looking to slowly return to some of GVN's roots. It's a hard trek to follow back to the begining of where everything began. But it should be worth it. So stay tuned for some more lost gem features, maybe a game review or two and some interviews as we try to make GVN more than just a videogame tournamnt scene.
