Important Change to Rewards!

The summer con season is well underway and we hope that some of you have had the lucky pleasure to have gone to some and experience and learn about new and upcoming titles as well as interact with fans.

As you may have already known, the grand prize for Hokage's Room was a trip for two to Comic Con in San Diego which was unfortunately unclaimed. Since it was unclaimed, we'd like to give you another opportunity to win a trip to a gamer's extravaganza! This time, we really hope you'll be able to make your claim so head on over to the Rewards section for more details!

The fifth-annual Penny Arcade Expo 2008 will be held in Seattle, WA from August 29th - 31st with a nice line-up that inlcudes NAMCO BANDAI Games. It's a three-day game festival for tabletop, videogame, and PC gamers that we're sure Naruto fans will really enjoy! They call it a festival because in addition to dedicated tournaments and freeplay areas they've got concerts, panel discussions, the weekend-long Omegathon event, and an exhibitor hall filled with booths displaying the latest from top game publishers and developers. Even with all this amazing content the best part of PAX is hanging out with other hardcore gaming fans. This will be the place to be see even MORE Storm action!

We would really like a hardcore Naruto to claim this great prize this time around so if no one has claimed it by August 12th, Hokage's Room will determine an appropriate winner to take the grand prize of going to the Penny Arcade Expo 2008.

Good luck to all!
