Attention Traveler!  There are new missions available at the Power Up 2010 Bounty Board!

Our list of confirmed events for Power Up 2010 is growing!  We will be running two Smash Bros. Brawl tournaments for both the casual smasher as well as the hard-core smash veteran

Event #1: It’s On!

2vs2 Smash Bros. Brawl Tournament

If you are curious about Brawl+ and how it is different from normal Brawl you can head over to the official website, www.brawlplus.net and check it out.  Seen by many as Brawl’s more competitive, faster, smarter, cooler cousin, many smashers prefer it to normal brawl.  Download it and put it on your Wii and try it out for yourself!

Power Up event announcement #2? Well kinda!

After little debate between myself and the president, we have come to the conclusion about hosting a Borderlands LAN event at Power Up. But in order to do that, we need your help. Leave a comment here about a fun and interesting event idea you have for this game. Some rules, the event can only go for a max of 6 hours, and must have winners and losers. Leave as much detail as you can, but do try to simply it so everyone understands what kinda of game it is.

And as an incentive, if the Power Up board picks your event type for borderlands, the web admin will print up a Borderlands poster for you.

Now get to posting!
