R3PLAY (pronounced “Replay”) is a brand new show celebrating four decades of gaming history. Presented in association with Retro Gamer and gamesTM magazines, this unique event will offer gamers of all ages the chance to experience gaming systems from the 1970s to present day.

Hosted by TV personality and videogame fanatic Gail Porter, the R3PLAY Expo will take place at The Norbreck Castle Exhibition Centre in Blackpool on 6/7 November 2010 – the final weekend of this year’s famous Illuminations.

We at R3PLAY are very excited to announce that we'll be teaming up with the guys from Blackpool Gamestation at our Expo in November.

The Gamestation crew will take over the Current-Gen gaming area, which is to be known as the “Gamestation Gamezone”.

The guys and gals at Gamestation know gaming inside out and as far as we're concerned, there's nobody better qualified to pick out the best of the Christmas releases for R3PLAY visitors to enjoy!

Attendees will also receive exclusive vouchers entitling them to some fantastic discounts at Gamestation's Blackpool store while you're in town: a great way to save money on your Xmas purchases this year.

Gamestation will also be providing prizes for the various competitions and raffles and have some nice surprises in store, as well!

We're thrilled to confirm that the Premier Partner for R3PLAY 2010 is Kick Energy - the refreshing drink that gives you a boost of energy when you need it most!

We can reveal that the driving competitions at R3PLAY will be staged within the Kick Energy zone and the Kick team are currently working on a new project especially for the show, which will be announced in due course.
