As Canadians across the country are minding their p's and q's and politely preparing to be thankful this weekend, gamers in the Greater Toronto Area will be grateful for an entirely different reason.
That's because next weekend is the third annual Gaming Invasion, hosted by Best Buy Canada, where gamers will be taking the stage at Yonge and Dundas Square to battle each other in games such as Guitar Hero: World Tour, Gears of War 2 and Little Big Planet.
Starting Friday, Oct. 17 and running until Sunday, Oct 19, the weekend promises to be a big hit for downtown Toronto with a live performance by Mobile at 6:30 p.m. on Friday and a winning band announced by Z103.5 as well as an autograph session with the FragDolls on Saturday. The presence of the all-girl gamer group promises to heat things up in more ways than one. (Even the name is killer; FragDolls… get it?)
If that wasn't enough, Mobile will also be participating in a Battle of the Bands in Guitar Hero: World Tour so gamers can see how well they would fare in a battle against the Jun-award-winning band.
The audience will be playing on flat-panel Insignia TVs, most of which will be given away by BestBuy after the event to the Toronto District School Board.
The main event - the gaming, that is - happens from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, and 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Anyone in the GTA is invited to come down to try their hand at the games, and possibly even catch a friendly chainsaw-bayonet by one of your friends at
