- Round 1: Peggle
- Round 2: Boom Blox
- Round 3: Pictionary
- Round 4: Rock Band (Our guess is Rock Band 2)
- Round 5: Jenga
- Final Round: *** TOP SECRET ***
While last year's Omegathon skipped the previous tradition of using a classic retro title (Pong, Combat, Tengen Tetris), every year has featured an id Software shooter. With Rage, Doom 4 and the new Wolfenstein looking unlikely, we're trying to think of another potential, unreleased FPS that could top last year's surprise Halo 3 inclusion. If Tycho and Gabe are looking to make our heads explode, maybe they can get Duke Nukem Forever. We won't find out until minutes before the final round on Sunday, August 31 at 4:30 PM PT.
In the meantime, check out the list of past Omegathon lineups, and feel free to make your own and play along at home.

The only thing that sucks about the Omegathon so far is having to buy these games to practice! I said in one of the previous Boom Blox posts that I'd be the first one to pick it up once it came down in price -- I guess I'll be forced to go back on that ;)
Peggle is a surprisingly good game, wish they'd get this out for XBLA already.
I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to 'practice' for Pictionary, though. Perhaps I can moonlight as a psychologist and pretend my drawings are Rorschach.

Perhaps you should just moonlight *as* Rorschach and seek out your other opponents ;)

This is by far the most casual line-up of games I've ever seen and is completely unexpected. Time to get practicing in hopes of winning my trip to Japan.
