The Arcadia gaming festival is running from November 10 - 12 at the Stade Uniprix in Montreal, you know -- Canada. Yes, the neighbors to the north are having a gaming festival and it's apparently a very big and cool thing. We'd love to tell you all about it, but sadly this series of tubes called the interwebs isn't getting us in touch with the festival organizers. With only nine days left, it seemed fair to let you know about it anyway.The roster of sponsors is pretty impressive, including Nintendo, Microsoft and Ubisoft. The event website says Arcadia is, "An interactive experience that will waken your senses and emotions in a fantastic world of multimedia projections." Is there some extracurricular activities going on at this games festival? One Canadian tipster says that you'll be able to play the Wii at the event -- yeah, now you're interested.
Tickets are $20 ($17 USD) for all three days plus taxes and "service fee," which we hope means no more than $25 ($22 USD). So, dear readers, if you have any light to shine on this gaming extravaganza, we sincerely hope you'll leave a comment. Montreal is only a few hours away, so if it sounds good, maybe we'll go cross the border.
