EventsWith 16 Xbox 360s, 4 PCs, and 4 PS3s, the Virtual Arena is the perfect place for LAN-parties, Tournaments, Lock-Ins, and Birthday Parties! If you've been to a Lock-In or a Tournament in the past, you haven't seen anything yet! BE PREPARED! REGULAR HOURS are 12 noon to 12 midnight EVERY DAY. Admission is $3 an hour. Or buy an Arena Buddy Pass and play for 2 hours with a friend for only $10! LOCK-INS! Every Friday night we feature Lock-Ins: Play from 11 pm to 7 am AND get free pizza for only $20! We are currently accepting only 24 reservations for each Lock-In, so call ahead and sign up! Lock-Ins are for gamers 12 years old and up, gamers under 17 years old will need a parent or guardian to sign a permission slip. HALO TOURNAMENTS! The Virtual Arena hosts Halo Tournaments EVERY "Tournament Tuesday" starting at 6pm. Admission is $10 for 5 hours. If you are eliminated or the Tournament doesn't last 5 hours (and they rarely do) any remaining time will be credited to your Gamer account to be used some other time. Prizes will range from free gaming time to free t-shirts or even free games based on attendance. Head over to the Tournaments page for more information! BIRTHDAY PARTIES! Because of an increase in regular attendance and popularity, Birthday Parties will only be available from 10 am to 12 noon, before we open for regular business. Package prices are also being dropped for one convenient pricing formula: 2 hours of private gaming and free pizza for only $10 per person. Because we will open 2 hours earlier for an exclusive party, reservations have to be made in advance and include a $50 reservation fee. Birthday parties will only be available to groups of at least 8 people but no more than 30 people. Children under 12 years old must be accompanied by a parent or a responsible adult, and all adults and children will be counted. LAUNCH PARTIES and SHOWCASES! We occasionally get to run special promotions when new games are released. These promotions can include things like playing a new game for one hour for free or competing in online tournaments for cash and other prizes! Our current showcase is for the first person shooter/RPG hybrid BORDERLANDS! This showcase ends November 13th, so hurry in and try it for up to an hour for free!
BORDERLANDS! Imagine a game like Fallout 3, with a post-apocolyptic landscape covered with dangerous mutants, monsters, and other enemies. Now add vehicles, RPG elements like classes, leveling, skills, and loot drops, and a random weapon generator. Then add the ability to play it with another person via split-screen, or up to 4 people via system-link or online!
PREPARE TO DROP Halo 3: ODST is here! Continue the fight against the Covenant as one of the crazy "Hell Jumpers" - the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers - in a side story that takes place between the events of Halo 2 and Halo 3. The Covenant have found Earth, and they've started digging a BIG hole in New Mombasa. What are the Covenant looking for? What happened to the rest of your squad? This new campaign stars a new hero, can be played with up to four players in co-op mode, and also features the new 4 player co-op mode Firefight! How many waves of Covenant forces can you survive? If you like strategy games, and you like HALO, play the game that everyone is playing from a previous showcase: HALO WARS! Set 20 years before the first Halo game, Halo Wars lets players take control of powerful human armies (and Covenant armies in versus modes) against overwhelming odds as the malevolent Covenant invaders attack Earth's outer colonies. But don't be afraid, you'll have Warthogs, Scorpion tanks, Locust aircraft...and Spartan super-soldiers on your side! Critics have already praised Halo Wars as THE best RTS made for consoles, and in mere minutes of learning the easy controls, you'll see why. Even players unfamiliar with the RTS (Real Time Strategy) genre will be commanding their infrantry, land, and air vehicles into battle with ease. Play the thrilling campaign alone - or CO-OP with a friend! - to get ready for 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 matches either via LAN or on Xbox Live!
AION is here! The next-gen MMO is finally here, and you can get your free demo accounts only at the Virtual Arena! These are full demo accounts, and your characters will transfer over to full accounts. These demo accounts are not available anywhere else! So choose your side, darkness or light, in an epic struggle for the Tower of Eternity!
GEARS OF WAR 2 - Thank you to everyone that participated in the LAST STAND TOURNAMENT the night before it was released - we were able to surprise the winners by giving each of them a copy of Gears of War 2 - right after the tournament! Thank you to Game Crazy for helping us host a tense but fun tournament! The next night, our exclusive "Hope Runs Deep" Lock-In was a lot of fun, too! The 5-Player Co-Op "Horde" mode is already a gamer-favorite here at the Virtual Arena!
PLAY WARHAMMER ONLINE! The wait is finally over and WAR is here! Set in the exciting Warhammer universe, players get to choose from 6 different factions and participate in persistent "Realm vs Realm" warfare! Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - or "WAR" for short - smoothly combines traditional MMO single-player and group questing or PvE (Players vs Environment) with chaotic, massive multi-player PvP (Player vs Player) battles! Choose the side of Order and join the Human Empire, High Elves, or the Dwarves - or choose the side of Destruction and join the Human Chaos, Dark Elves, or the Greenskins (Orcs and Goblins). What will you choose? Which ever side you join, you will be immediately surrounded by evidence of an ongoing battle against the opposing realm, and you can choose to quest (PvE), join PvP Scenarios, or find open RvR (Realm vs Realm) battlefields - ALL of which will both help you gain levels and new gear AND assist your faction in a persistent struggle against their rivals! Which realm will you fight for? |
