SHOWDOWN LANFEST 2K6 ANNOUNCEMENT
PC Gamer and Maximum PC are proud to present Showdown LANfest 2k6, a three-day gaming event to be held in San Jose, CA, August 25-27, 2006. Sponsored by Newegg.com, this massive 480-person LAN party will feature 48 straight hours of tournaments, contests, editor clinics, and exclusive access to highly anticipated PC games.
We've secured over $75,000 in prizes and giveaways for attendees, including a free copy of Battlefield 2: Armored Fury for all registered gamers. The event will also be the world exclusive multiplayer hands-on for Company of Heroes and the first public playtest of FEAR: Extraction Point. The LAN will take place in the spacious Parkside Hall of the San Jose Convention Center, and will feature 20,000sq ft of BYOC space and plenty of gaming kiosks and booths to demo new games.
Registration is open now for a special early-bird price of $30, which includes a three-day pass, admission to four gaming tournaments (UT 2K4, Battle for Middle Earth II, Counter-Strike Source, and Battlefield 2), and a packed goodie bag with games and swag.
The fun isn't limited to indoors! On Saturday, August 26, registered attendees will be treated with a large party in nearby Discovery Meadows Park (only a four-minute walk from the LAN). Chow on free pizza, snacks, and drinks with the editors of PC Gamer and Maximum PC. The Showdown party will also host a 100-vs.-100 dodgeball match and eating contests, with hardware prizes and other giveaways.
