Game Core

Sep 12th 2009 • Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks

Oaks, PA 19456 • MILES: 20.21

Game Core is just that, the Core of gaming. While we see the differences between people who play video games, Arcade games, role-playing games, miniature games, and others, we don’t see it as a reason to keep them all separate. Game Core gathers the best of all types of gaming, and provides you the vendors, contests, tournaments, guests, and players you’re looking to find. Whether you’re hoping to see The Angry Video Game Nerd, or a Guitar Hero Tournament, or a Magic The Gathering Tournament, you can find them at Game Core!
