Video Game Lounge is a good name

There are many video game lounge areas here on east coast. Video Game in thr title lets you know what activities are going on in the lounge.
This is a gaming convention and most gamers are not looking at something called a "video game lounge" as an adult only area.
Anyone seeing it in the program will see the description.
Anyone going by it seeing people inside playing video games and guitar hero will know immediately.
Electronic gaming doesn't have the pizzazz that the term video games does.

A staff lounge is still a good idea. With access granted to special guests and guest of honor.
A con suite is a bad idea. It would be cheaper to feed a 3rd world country for a year than to feed gamers at a convention for a weekend.

Video Game Lounge!
 
Lounge sounds like a cool crash space and video games are a better name for a console focus.   Grab a mojito and head to the Video Game Lounge!

This is awesome and worth a note out to the SoCal Yahoo Groups. I know tons of GH maniacs among the LA gaming community that would love to compete in a tournament situation.
 
How about calling it the "Video Game Room"? That might be a bigger draw than "Computer Room". Or the Electronic Game room - just something other than "Computer Room", which sounds a bit like somewhere you go when you mouse isn't working anymore and you need an IT person.

We've never called it that, but we've had the equivalent by having multiple console games within the computer room for the past few years.

Many conventions have a teen lounge (as I mentioned last august) .
You stick a tv in one corner for viewing movies, guitar hero and rock band (so you can have 4 players at once including the drummer) going from open
til close in the middle, and multiplayer tourneys (like halo 3 or wii head-to-head competitons in an elimination tourney) on side.
Guitar hero and rock band will always draw con goers that are bored, in between games, etc. They do not require any real time commitment. Just try a song, and leave.
There will alway be someone playing guitar hero during the con. Both guitar hero and halo 3 are solid draws.
