I’ve been pretty psyched about Section 8 since I first read about it. The game promises to offer up some seriously fun looking innovations. Dropping all the way from outer-space and into the middle of a firefight? Massively multiplayer battles that can handle up to 32 users at once? Yeah… I’m down for that. The game finally drops at the end of the month, on August 28th, and we’ve decided to celebrate. It’s time for a release party.

On Wednesday, August 26th, we’re throwing a release party for Timegate’s upcoming first person sci-fi shooter, Section 8, at Tattooed Mom on South Street. You can RSVP on Facebook, here. Best of all, we’re teaming up with our boys over at Technically Philly to throw this, as Christopher Wink would say, “jawn”. Expect custom made cupcakes from the lovely ladies of Open Source Cupcakes, as well as awesome giveaways from the gaming studio. I’m talking free games, posters, and other promotional swag.

Tattooed Mom will be raffling off free gift certificates and offering Section 8 themed drink specials. Something robot-ish or sci-fi, and guaranteed to be delicious. And speaking of delicious, I can’t wait to chomp down on a chicken parm sandwich at T-Mom. One of my fav sandwiches in the city, right there.

This party is our attempt to bring monthly video game release parties to the city of Philadelphia. Why should New York City and places out in California have all the fun? Especially when we have a city full of people passionate about gaming. See Joystiq (buncha writers live here, sup Ben and Chris!) and the Videogame Growth Initiative for awesome examples.

We’re already planning another bash for Halo 3: ODST in September, and will be polling you, dear readers, as to what games you want to celebrate for future months. Until then, get psyched! August 26th is going to be a blast.

Sign up for the event on Facebook here, and let us know you’re coming! Invite some friends!
