Otronicon: ten days of non-stop gaming
Otronicon is an event that is set to integrate the world of experiencing consumer videogames and the behind-the-scenes view of the art, technology and science that form the foundation and the future of both the videogame and simulation industries. The organizers boast that individuals of all ages (apparently this event is a family-friendly affair) will have a tremendous range of places and opportunities to explore.
What’s new in this year’s Otronicon is that they invite you to bring your own handheld unit to connect and play with others. It’s set to take place in the Orlando Science Center, so if you’re in the area you might want to drop by.

The event is set to feature games, exhibits, and hands-on play in more than 100 gaming stations in multiple formats, including Playstation 3 and PS2, Wii, Game Cube, XBox and XBox 360. Here’s the complete list of the affair’s planned highlights:
