HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO WIN A 37" inch PLASMA SCREEN TV?

Well I hear that GameStop is going to give away a Brand-New 37" Plasma screen Television ain't that cool? I know what your thinking............what is the catch? Well you have to win in a video game tournament that hasn't been release in the U.S. yet. Yup, I'm talking about Super Smash Bros Brawl!! However, if your a parent that doesn't play video games I'm sure your child does and hey, if my kid could win me something sweet (like a plasma screen tv) that the whole family can enjoy why not enter him/her in something that they'll have a blast at? What's even sweeter is that the entry fee is FREE so no long waiting line to buy a ticket or something. This is going to be a HUGE event for all ages so make sure you mark your calendar for March 8 and plan the family trip. And lastly here is the information you can go to for more info on this huge event.

A New Age of Smashing!!!

Thanks to my friends, I have seen the import version of Super Smash Bros Brawl or Super Smash Bros X and let me tell all gamers out there.................it is BETTER THAN HALO!!! Oh my god!! is this game good we got over 30 characters, the stages are cool, the music......just awesome!!!, and the Subspace Story is hot with its CG animations. So far some people have posted their videos on youtube but to tell you the truth they played like a bunch of noobs because they were doing free for all with level 1 computers and they were losing. C'mon people!! this is brawl!! show me some of that MLG (Major League Gaming) action where legends are born like Ken, Chudat, PC Chris, Mew2King, and many more. But whatever, I know I'll be showing off my Mario, Metaknight, and Pikmin skills when I get the game on March 9, and hopefully it won't get pushed back again. And when I finally have a 24/7 access to the game it will be a New Age of Smashing!!!
