Games Blog quiz night - amazing prizes!

Sonic cafe
"He's behind you!" Sonic meets his public at last year's GameCity...

So, okay, this is the last time I'm going to plug it. But Saturday night sees the second official Gamesblog pub quiz, taking place at the Mogal-e-Azam curry house in Nottingham from 6-8pm. It's part of the fabulous GameCity festival which kicked off today.

Last time I mentioned it, I wasn't sure about what to do for a prize. So I called up a few game publishers - and they've been amazing*. The winning team will stagger away with a massive pack filled with games and other paraphernalia including copies of Fable II, Quantum of Solace and Lego Batman (all TBC at the mo) and the latest SNK fighting game anthologies, including Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol 1, World Heroes Anthology and the brilliant SNK Arcade Classics Vol 1 (ah, Metal Slug...). You'll also get to fight over Fallout 3, LittleBigPlanet, GTAIV and Lego Batman T-shirts - as well as a GTA pool cue! A massive thanks to the publishers who've contributed prizes.

There's more on the way too - I just won't know what it is until I get there tomorrow. I'll post a full inventory on Friday evening.

You'll need a festival pass to get in, but that'll also get you into all the events of the day and the closing party.

Hopefully see you there!

*UPDATE: It's now Saturday and unfortunately some of the prizes still haven't arrived. I'll endeavour to post the prizes to the winning team if they do show up! Sadly, I'm at the mercy of the prize providers on this! But it'll still be fun?
