Today CCI published their gaming schedules, from board games to video gaming to D&D to Magic: The Gathering and more. I'm always grateful for these tournaments because they keep a high number of people absorbed and out of the panels. But if you're a gamer who would rather wander around and see what's afoot, there's a lot going on this year. That goes for experienced gamer fanatics and the mildly interested.
Every single thing listed here is free and open to anyone with a badge - except Gam3rCon.
Exhibit Hall and Panels
Nintendo will have a booth at the San Diego Convention Center dedicated entirely to Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.
Tetsuya Nomura and Hideo Kojima will be signing autographs - but you have to buy a Play Arts Kai Figure at the Square Enix booth, #3829.
The Witcher fans get to see a brand new live 30 minute demo on Thursday.
Microsoft is bringing several panels, including a first look at Halo:Nightfall on Thursday at 11:45 am and Friday at 10:15 am, both in 6BCF, and a panel on Sunset Overdrive on Thursday at 5 pm in 5AB.

Nerdist is hosting Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel-themed laser tag on the top floor of Petco Park. 3 games will run per hour, with 50 people each, and it's free - but people with a badge get priority access.
Gam3rCon, unlike everything else here, is not free - but it's not that pricey either. $20 for a day or $50 for the whole thing. And while that gives you panels on games in addition to demos and play, you also get parties, bands, and other events.
