May is Video Game Challenge month at Bookmans Entertainment Exchange and just like last year, there are tournaments and events throughout the month.
What does this have to do with DEVASTATION you ask? Well, as in year’s past, the DEVASTATION team brings a few of our gaming set-ups and runs the larger tournaments for Bookmans. This year we are hosting the Super Street Fighter IV and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 tournaments at the Mesa and Phoenix Locations. These are free events and players enter and compete for a slew of Bookmans prizes and trophies.
