My buddy brought me here for the first time yesterday and I was shocked, in a good way. I think of myself as an intermediate gamer but no matter your skill or interest level this place is heaven on earth! I cannot wait to go back. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Ignite is fantastic. The room is gigantic, open and clean, the staff is extremely cheerful and helpful, prices are cheap too if you take part in their specials. The Fall accents on the cafe tables are a nice touch. In fact, the cafe area is so clean and nicely maintained that it's difficult to not purchase something. The S'Mores shake made me cry. I'm looking forward to coming back again and again to play games my laptop won't handle. The PC I used had no lag, ran every game on ultra, and the monitor was freaking huge. I could have stayed all night playing Diablo 3. However, the room would do well with lots of acoustic foam on the walls and sound proofing. Sitting far away from the TVs doesn't help either because the noise traveled throughout the room. Combined with the music playing in the background, everything was picked up on all of our microphones and amplified. The room became way too loud for me to use teamspeak with my friends. But still, Ignite deserves 5 stars. The service, cleanliness and available gear completely exceeded my expectations. I hope this place continues to grow!

This place is awesome, very clean and all employees are very courteous. A new spot for me.

When you're the only "game" in town, I think it would be easy to take it for granted and sacrifice quality and service. But Ignite Network is amazing, and will be the standard in Chicago (maybe beyond) for gaming lounges. I'm actually not a big gamer, but I'm a big rock band-er. And Ignite Network has two tricked out rock band rooms to make you feel like a star (the tinnitus comes free of charge!) Great song selection, and great fun for a group of many or few. Now I have been a couple of times, and I'd have to say the service is incredible. This is a staff willing to bend over backwards to make sure their patrons are happy. It's perfect for the intense and casual gamers alike. They have a full menu of snacks and caffeine drinks to keep you gaming long into their substantially long hours. This menu seems to constantly be expanding too, and now includes food, in case mom isn't within earshot to hand feed you hot pockets. (References!) The new location on N Elston is bigger, cleaner, shinier, and classier. The only downside is location, as there is no Elston Bus, so unless you live off of California or Belmont, it's a hike to get here. But that's through no fault of Ignite...sometimes you got to walk through Mordor to get to the promised land. I don't actually know if that metaphor fits...again, I'm not a big nerd (yet I still love this place)
(5)Gregory R.
Perfect, for gaming of course, but also for word processing and surfing. Great atmosphere and better staff.
(5)Julie T.
My expectations were exceeded once again! Ruben fixed my computer in less than an hour at a great price. These guys know how to run a business!

I gotta give this place 5 stars because what they set out to do they do right. As a LAN center, they have a great set-up. The hardware is fully capable of running all the latest and greatest games. The workstations give ample space between you and the next player and the seating is very comfortable. They have close to 80 stations so finding a terminal usually isn't an issue except on special event nights. They use a login system much like a windows login that tracks the amount of play time available for your account. You can purchase in increments with the best deal being $20 for 6 hours. They have lots of great games and have the expansions installed for most of those games (e.g. BF2 and all its expansions). They sell snacks & drinks at cheap prices (candy bars are $.50 so no price gouging).

Cool little place to play computer games with friends. They have a program on startup that shows all the games and proggies you can use and most of them are new. They have all nighters for one price and have pre paid time to save. The headphoens are a nice addition tot he place.
(5)Jeff L.
This is a nice LAN center to play games. They have pretty much all of the major games you might want to play. Their computers are really nice, and have headphones which I love because you don't have to hear everyone elses music/sounds from the computer their on. I've only been here once, but it seemed really nice.
(4)Trent D.
Really cool spot, I was surprised by how busy it was. Monday evenings they have fighting game night where it's 10 dollars all you can play. This past Saturday, they had a dota 2 viewing which i thought was cool. My problem with this particular evening was that the crowd and music was too loud. I was playing lol where I was communicating with friends via a headset ignite gaming supplies. Since the background noise was loud, I had to press keys in order to speak, which hurt the communication between my teammates and I. I'd recommend just going on a slower night. Everything there seems new and they clean everything well. They only have one extra Xbox controller if you want to do fighting game night, so bring your own. There are other controllers, but it looks as though they're unattachable from the setups. Overall, really solid place with reasonable rates.

The ignite gaming lounge is amazing! I feel at home every single time! Tip of The Hat was one of the best charity streams I have ever seen, I was able to donate, and see some of the casts! Ignite gaming is clean, fun, comfortable, and very very friendly staff. I would recommend to people of ALL ages.
(5)Sarah C.
My kid really likes this place but I've noticed he doesn't ask to come back much since they stopped carrying Surge. It's super cheap to play games and sometimes they have events. I really think they should have a TV in the back with old school Nintendo consoles so I can play Mario while my kid shoots hookers or whatever all the new games are about. (I'm serious, give me old school games and I'd be way more inclined to make the hour long drive to hang out more often. Old people like to play games too, some of us just don't like the new games)
(4)Amy D.
Reserved a birthday part for my 12 y.o. son. The planning was easy, the price reasonable and the service was very good. The lounge is clean and low-key. There is a nice cafe area, which is great for parents who need to stay with their kids. The equipment looked new and modern. Overall, it's a great place.
(4)Ameer A.
This place is so cool. They have almost all game systems and games, not to mention the excellent pc service and games. The icing on the top of this cake is the little cafe they have there which cranks out amazing drinks. Come here for a good time playin video games!
(5)Jason M.
A gamers haven! So many different types of games to choose from! From PC's, Xbox One, PS4, Private Rock Band studios and a large cafe with seasonal drinks (non-alcoholic). Prices are very fair if you go in there with $20. You basically get a couple hours to play whatever you want and a drink for not even $20. Good stuff!!
(5)Safee L.
Great place to go with friends. Great hangout spot. The food is decent. Good selection of games. And OMG so many systems that you'll almost always get to play what you want. The online PC games were a bit iffy.
(4)Alexandria T.
We took a group of 50 students here on an incentive field trip early this week. The facilities were great; the space itself was spacious and maintained very well. All of the equipment seemed brand new. The staff was super helpful and accommodating of our kids. I'm definitely not a gamer AT ALL, but I did find the Rockband studios very cool.
(4)Davin L.
As much as I love Galloping Ghost Arcade in Brookfield, sometimes you just gotta runs sets on AE, TTT2, KOF13, or BB with a Sanwa stick in your lap and your opponent at your side. (Props if you can understand all that lingo). Came here last night for Monday Night Fight Casuals. Only $10 at the door or $5 if you bring your own console. Lots of good matches and conversation with the hardcore fighting community in Chicago. Their snack bar is pretty great too. Had a tasty grilled chicken sandwich with pesto for $6. Definitely coming back to sharpen my skillz...
(4)Adam Y.
Ignite was on the Dota2 TI4 website and a registered Pub Stomp. Two friends of mine and I all got the $20 VIP ticket (included food, drinks, raffle ticket, and game time. 100% worth it). There were about 100 people there. Everyone had plenty of room to watch the game on multiple TVs and a projector screen. Everyone was cheering and had a great time. The place is CLEAN. People are always running around cleaning the computers and controler. As someone who hated grimey controllers, this hit a soft spot. The gaming rigs they have are powerful machines and easily ran whatever we wanted to play on them. The staff was helpful and happy to assist with anything we needed (one of the rockband mics was dead and then exchanged it). The Rockband rooms are AMAZING. The drum kit is solid and my friend was finally able to let loose on it. We went back the next day and played again. It was a great time and I look forward to returning.
(5)Ted T.
The best gaming lounge... period! You have to go here at least once. You will not regret it. They just get better, and better. They replaced their old crummy chairs with DX Racers. And I got to say that I am really impressed. It has been a little while since I have been back here. I wish they had mechanical keyboards. But they are okay if you decide to bring your own. Really just a great atmosphere to start yelling at other noobs across the hall. Really reimnascant of the old LAN days. The food was actually pretty good! Tasted fresh, and you could taste the love. Snack bars is one of the best I have seen. Good shakes, smoothies, hot dogs, and paninis. I was not a fan of the headphones that they provided, but were at least somewhat comfortable, and they had a good Mic. I just wish they had a liquor license, and sold alcoholic beverages. Customer service is fantastic! They do a terrific job!
(5)Tony M.
I went here on a random weeknight to check the place out. I was very impressed with several aspects of the place. The front desk staff was very friendly and was able to answer all my questions without any confusion or "um let me go ask" delays. The console gaming areas looked very comfortable and seemed to offer most popular games. With large TV's and couches as options for seating (though I didn't play any of them), it looked very fun. The PC desks were in good condition and the chairs looked brand new. The PC towers were a little beat up on the top of the cases, but this is likely because visitors sit their bags and stuff on top of the towers. The mice and keyboards were clean, responsive and in good condition. My only complaint is that the tables seemed to be a little weak and during fast paced gameplay (like starcraft or FPS games), the monitor would wobble considerably making it occassionally difficult to see what is on the screen. The one thing that I was absolutely blown away about: the food! The cafe is absolutely amazing. I got a bowl of chili and my girlfriend got a chocolate shake. Both were great tasting and the other food that people were ordering looked really well prepared. TL;DR version Great layout, clean gaming stations, super friendly staff, better-than-expected food, but PC monitors wobble which could be remedied by using a desk-mounted pole instead of the stock monitor bases.
(5)Day S.
I visited Ignite with my husband and two sons (13 & 9) on a road trip from Michigan. Within 10 minutes of arriving my 13 year old was texting me that we needed to move here permanently! They loved being in an environment where everyone was gaming. The headphones and state-of-the-art gaming chairs made them feel like professional gamers and they couldnt hide their smiles. The young man who checked us in was very friendly and took his time making sure we understood how to get set up to play. He even checked on us later to make sure we were up and running. The Rockband studios were dope! I hate we had to leave before I got a chance to show my skills. The only reason I couldn't give the 5th start is because I felt like the game selection could have been larger and the PS4 stations didnt have headphones so it was difficult to hear important dialogue. Other than that, it was excellent. We'll definitely be back.
(4)Christina S.
It's fun if your a gaming person you can play every different game system I tried everything from PlayStation to x box to the Wii and you play it on these big screen tv's you can order drinks and eat little snacks
(4)Judah M.
There is nothing like this place. The pictures do not do it credit. It has such a clean and comfortable atmosphere. The equipment is top notch. They have every game imaginable. On top of all that it is pretty cheep per hour. I love this place!
(5)Marissa R.
After months of wanting to go to this place and finally finding someone to join me, I finally visited. It was a fun experience just being around people who enjoy the same game as you or at least share the common interest of video games was great. The gaming chairs were super comfortable and even the mouse felt great to use that when i went home, i bought the same mouse. The only problem I had was teamspeak, I couldnt join the server i wanted to but my friend next to me could, maybe it was just bad luck.
(5)Francisco H.
5 stars all day, I've been dedicated customer since they first opened years ago and never been disappointed once. Great friendly staff always more than helpful. Cafe selection is amazing, with their new addition of panini sandwiches takes it above and beyond. But of course the gaming environment is simply "dope" overall.
(5)Patrick L.
Awesome place! The staff is very, very polite, friendly & helpful. The prices are more than fair as well. The equipment is all great, I've never had an issue. The background music is also good & the temperature is always great. Very easy to spend hours inside gaming.
(5)Michael S.
Ok. So I thought I was passed the age where I would sit at a place like this and play games nonstop. I guess I was wrong. Right now, I don't have fast enough internet connection where I am and do not have access to my desktop to game so enter Ignite... I like to play this one game that they do not have pre-installed, but no problem at all. Sam installed it on a machine for me! Now I can come in and play as much as I desire! It is a bunch of younger people and I remember when I was at that age playing Starcraft (original) with my friends over LAN like that. Kids yelling at each other... Immature brats... Good memories :P
(5)Russell W.
I went here for the first time last Saturday and meant to review right after. This place is amazing. I went in with high expectations ( I had read 5-6 very positive reviews on here) and it exceeded everything. The guy at the counter was uber chill (blanking on his name, tall skinny dude). I told him that it was first time here and he --and I have to emphasize how un-salesy he was-- told me that they had been around for ten years and talked about the different gaming communities that play here and how the LOL scene differs here from the SC2 scene and DOTA2 and so on. The space is clean and open. There were maybe 20-30 people there at 3PM and tons of open computers.The Pcs are top of the line and looks like they were taken out of the box last week. I bought 3 hours, found an open tower, and logged onto Battle.net ... Fast forward to five hours later (I put 8 more hours on my Ignite card), where I realize that I could easily be here all day, night, forever (?). Easiest five star review ever.
(5)Jinna H.
I'm a massive nerd and not ashamed of it. I've spent time here playing all manner of game (Call of Duty, Left 4 Dead 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Mass Effect 3, etc.) in a comfortable chair with great headphones. 5/hr, and they usually have some sort of special. I take them up on Girls Play Free Wednesdays, since all I have to do is purchase a medium drink. The bathroom is also awesomely clean. The only complaint I've ever had is that some of the other patrons can be super loud and annoying (it's a high schooler hot spot) and sometimes my Rock Band 3 mic is on the fritz. Otherwise, if you're too cheap to upgrade your hardware or buy a new game, come here and have fun.
(4)Jina K.
So chill, great staff, sanitary, and just an awesome place to hang out with your friends after school. They have xbox 360s, computers, a rock band room, a cafe (that if you buy a drink, gets you some free hours if your a girl on wednesday[which is totally awesome]) Highly recommend this place :) Also, don't come here if you're like 8 no one likes youngsters that just troll around and shit. If you are though, act mature and don't try to act all full of yourself. (But mostly theres teens/adults so no worries)
(5)Jacob J.
I did the worst thing I could do. I opened Pandora's box and now I don't think I have the ability to close it! I've known for quite sometime that Ignite network existed, I've just been carefully avoiding them. See there was a time when I allowed my inner geek out and would do so on a weekly basis. I'd indulge in all night-er LAN gaming action. That was more than four years back when many of the PC gaming cafes were Korean owned and everyone, I mean EVERYONE played Half-Life Counterstrike. It was always a pump shotty and a Deagle. LoL. SEE! (Maybe 3% of those reading this review would have any idea of what I just said.) I would grow to miss (game) maps like "Dust_world" and "fy_Iceworld free" , hours upon hours of laugh out loud antics and swearing at other gamers across the room or on the Internet. But, like all fads in America, LAN gaming at those PCs died out, but mainly due to improper care of their PCs. People decided to play at home instead, because at least at home an individual would take care of their PC and make sure to keep it clean and updated. There are still some gnarly PC cafes in existence, where key boards have gone to die with keys missing and food stuck in between any orifice a desktop PC might have. Back to the story; recently a Groupon offer released and that's where I am at now. I used the Groupon and now have an account. Ninety minutes playing Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox 360 and I'm jones'ing for more. I have that feeling, that longing to play... Seated in a leather executive chair with a Plantronics headset on so I can talk shit to those on-line and nearby while scoping marks on the provided enormous flat screen TV we each have. I swear it's like being transported back to the playground. I'm in the zone about to take a shot and I'm talking smack to the other kids that get in my way. I get too loud and obnoxious with LAN gaming. At the station they've sat my buddy and I; five can sit comfortably with space to move and my buddy is taking full advantage of viewing my whereabouts and spawn camping for a bullshit kill. Damn cheater. In your thirties and you're still cheating! Bogus. Sixty minutes in and we're cycling maps every few minutes, it's like I never stopped playing, my kills are good without as many deaths. While my buddy is cautiously camping, He's got 18 deaths and 3 kills, ha ha. Damn cheater. LoL. In the background there are others playing the same game but on other systems, mostly PC. The LAN attendant makes his rounds often, always letting us know he's nearby in case we need any help. It must read "newbie" across our foreheads. Which is fine, I like that they are always around and helpful with a smile. Something which lacked at many other PC cafes I've given business to. Help is something I could use, especially with any new console since my PS2 is now my DVD player and I don't have much knowledge on the workings of an Xbox 360 or PS3. The space is clean and has the makings of an excellent gamers cave. Other than PC and console gaming, enter the adjacent room to play rock band! Another game I am not versed in but in time, I will succumb to and play. Ignite also offers warm and cold beverages like assorted coffees, smoothies or even citrus Pellegrino aka Aranciata?! Hell fucking no! They also offer REAL Coke, out of the bottle made with cane sugar. If any of this made you laugh or sparked an interest, FUC this review or send me a compliment. I want to tally how many people understand 90% or more of the review. If you want to check out this place or be the drummer in my rock band, send me a PM maybe we can geek out together. *Update*.. I've since blown out the included 12 hours I got with the Groupon and am now a paying member. Not having a girlfriend contributes to the game geeking. On a side note, there are all kinds of people here. Young and old, male and female, gone are the days of nerdy gamers. It's a surprise to see hotties in here playing MW2 or other first person shooters. P.s. This place knocks the socks off Screenz.

There are various aspects that make up a 4 star review. Shortly, the aspects that take away one star are that they have snacks but don't serve real food (though they have a smoothie/shake bar and a cooler of pops, teas and Bawles). Secondly, their console game selection is limited. I think they should look into expanding variety and investing in some indie games. Their seating is comfortable (and there are leather couches by the large screen console sections), their mouses are specialized for gaming (in the PC area), they keep their equipment clean (I've seen them disinfect headsets, keyboards, computer areas between users), and each seating area in the PC section is probably more spacious than those areas in your school's computer lab. They have a Rockband room (with stage) that's sectioned off from the rest of the establishment. Music is loud but not annoying (and pumps you up/keeps you going), and they have a good selection. I'm sure that they wouldn't laugh if you made a request either. It seems that I've heard different types of music at different hours of the day on different days. From indie rock to hip hop and electronica. Pricing is very reasonable if not 'cheap' with nightly deals starting at 8pm until 2am or you may pay by the hour. Wednesday night is girls free night with the purchase of a drink. This is a popular hang out for 'regulars' who are friendly and concentrated gamers, as well as casual players and facebook surfers. If you're a League of Legends or Starcraft 2 player you may want to think about jumping into the Ignite community to meet new opponents or join tournaments. Personally, unless I'm feeling like joining up with friends to LAN I'm not thrilled about all of the community there, but it's a personal preference. I highly recommend coming with friends to do something different or taking a load off.
(4)Kd K.
My husband and his boys come here to play SC. He finally took me to this place where he calls his second home. I was pleasantly surprise. The place is clean and very spacious. Their snack bar is pretty affordable. They have comfortable couches and places for people to take breaks from playing video game. While he was playing video games with his boy, I was at their snack bar area catching up on my reading.

Let's get to the basics. Pros: - Great place for lan gaming and chilling with friends. - Meeting new people that take the same gaming interests as you. - Probably most courteous, polite, and helpful staff I have come across. - Price is great. They offer packages according to the hours you buy. Prefer, however to buy flat rate, which is $5/hr. - *Forgot to add, The gaming headset's in this place were incredible for people that wear glasses, while gaming. Saw the brand and going to purchase one myself. Cons: - Screens, keyboards, and gaming mice are not in the high end, but I guess that's why the prices are what they are. - Not really a con for people that live close by, but I live in suburbs, so the drive can be quite annoying. Neutral: - The desktops that I have used there have been Viewsonic monitors and Compaq keyboards. It differs from each gaming desktop you choose. This does not bother me, but for real competitive gamers, this might not suffice. They use Logitech gaming mouse MX 518 and Logitech mouse G400 (Entry gaming mouses.) I would recommend checking this place out for gamers like me. Came here because my $2,100 gaming rig needed some repairing, however they have earned a new customer in me. Oh and thanks for bring back memories of lan gaming back from when I was a young teenager. Ah! those were the days.
(5)Alex R.
I've been going to Ignite for almost 10 years. The staff is constantly available, friendly, and helpful, especially Pete and Sam. These guys have been working here for as long as I can remember and they've always been helpful from the minute I walk in to the minute I leave. The service is awesome, the facilities are always very clean and well-attended. PS3, 360, and PC stations offer a variety of awesome and feature new releases on all consoles. The Rock Band studios are ridiculous and they have almost 800 songs at the moment and they add new ones regularly. Basically, I love this place and the new location only makes it better.
(5)Alex M.
This is the ideal geek hideout for those unwilling to shell out the major bucks on video game systems and game titles. You pay $12 for three hours of time, and pretty much can go nuts on desktop computers, Xboxes, PS3s, or Wiis. I got a kick even out of how they have two rooms with small stages and lights facing a projection screen so you can play Rock Band with friends. They also have a full cafe and plenty of non-alcoholic drinks and munchies for those moments. It's definitely the ideal place to get with your friends and go nuts fragging one another for a few hours.
(5)Ben C.
Remember the days of packing up endless wires and equipment and lugging it all over to your friends half-furnished basement to play a loud, energy-drink fueled, insult-hurling night of Starcraft until someone passed out on their keyboard? Sadly, those days have disappeared with the advances of online gaming and you should lament death of the LAN party. But you don't have to. If you miss getting to punch your friend when he nails you with a headshot, cry no more. Ignite Network has an incredible facility at your disposal. Complete with an impressive multitude of PCs, Xbox 360s, and PS3s all hooked up to a blistering bevy of flat screens, this LAN party location is precisely what you need without all the hassle of set-up and getting yelled at by your friends mom at 2 am. The crisp, modern deco location and comfortable seating will welcome you and the well-maintained desks and ultra-gamer surround sound headphones will please your ear holes. And just in case top of the line equipment at your fingertips wasn't enough, try a fully stocked smoothie bar with energy drinks and snacks. And if you've ever delved into pixel antics and are STILL not convinced, let's not forget about their two FULLY LOADED ROCK BAND STUDIOS. Set up on a tiny STAGE, these studios resemble top-of-the-line recording booths and feature a massive projection screen along with the quite literal BEST Rock Band guitars and drum set currently available. The staff is friendly, the profile system is clever and easy to use, and the prices are way within reason for the amenities available. If you even REMOTELY consider yourself a gamer, you have to come by and appreciate this one-of-a-kind modern arcade. DO IT.
(5)Paul S.
The place has sucked out a ton of money from my wallet. So I have to give this place a lot of credit. Ignite can spruce up on the broken earphone/mics, dirty desks and keyboards and more selection on the snacks. Almost perfect.
(4)David Y.
I was really eager to try out Starcraft 2 but my old laptop won't cut it so I went to Ignite with a buddy and for $12 we played both SC2 and COD4 for 3 hours. They were cool with us bringing in food we got elsewhere and had a good time playing the latest and greatest in the gaming world. The chairs are black leather and comfortable and the service is friendly and helpful. We had some major lag issues and computer problems (my crashed and my buddy's restarted for no reason). We also had some issues with various games so while I'm eager to go back again, I hope I don't experience the same problems. I'm pretty sure its the cheapest internet cafe around.
(4)Robert A.
Incredibly courteous, friendly and professional staff. Highly recommended.
(5)Stefan C.
I love this place. This is the only place in the Chicago area that I can play PC games @ a good rate. Friendly staff, good drinks, and chill atmosphere. Complete with your sweaty, fat nerds playing WOW and Diablo 3. Open late. I wish there was BYOB but I won't demote because I can understand why they wouldn't have liquor here.
(5)Morgan R.
Ohmigod I love this place! I just wish I'd know of this place sooner! And the Rock Band room = awesome! I see myself spending a lot of time here. And on Wed nights they run a special for girl gamers!
(5)Barry J.
Cool gaming spot by Belmont & Western. Decent screens, comfy chairs. Some people like the snacks, didn't try them myself. Occasional lags on Call of Duty 4, not too distracting overall. Some very good gamers play here, but also some spawn campers like to get their cheap kills on. A pic on their website shows bowls of fresh fruit and hot chicks. um. way to inflate expectations guys ;) just jokin. this place rocks. $4/hr but cheaper when you buy larger blocks. play on.
(4)Keisha H.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ignite Network. As a woman that loves video games- there are simply not enough places in the city where one can be social and play games. This place features a variety of different games, both on PC and Console, Two Rock Band Studios, A coffee bar, and WONDERFUL management. And on top of that- It's only $5 an hour to play. I'm am incredibly happy that I found this place- Ignite Network is where I bring all of my Sugar Gamers out at the end of the night so we can Rock out and drink smoothies. It's so much fun! It's like a modern day arcade- maybe even better! I'll be back again and again!
(5)Cali M.
This is a wonderful Lan Center. Started going here in 2006 and they've done lots of spiffy updates (Big Screen & Console Gaming). It's packed on weekends and you'll have no problem getting into a game. They are extremely accommodating and friendly Love this place
(5)Brittany H.
I come here once in a while to take advantage of the Rock Band Studio with my friends. We love it! They could use newer instruments, but it's understandbale why some would be a bit broken. They used to have a lot of sit-down games like Apples to Apples, but they're gone. I wish they'd bring them back. Hours of gaming here can make a guy/gal hungry and I wish they had more "real" food instead of snacks. Get a nacho cheese machine or something. It's all good, though. There's a place across the street.
(5)Noel K.
I went to Ignite Network for a party. Nice place except they blast the AC so it was freezing in there. They have a cute little snack bar in the place and during the party we were allowed to get one smoothie or shake. I placed my order and they said we'll have it in five minutes. Five minutes later; nothing. Fifty five minutes later:still nothing. I got frustrated and went up to the counter and was about to complain. Then I saw my order so I just grabbed it and left. I know Ignite Network is a gaming facility but just warning you when there is a party they're not exactly cautious about how many drinks people get so you might not get yours right away.
(2)Matt B.
Ignite gaming lounge is fantastic! Though my opinion is slightly biased, due to the fact I've been coming here since they opened about ten years ago, i would still say this if i was a first timer, and i have heard this from a lot of new comers. The simple fact that they have such a strong core customer base should say something for itself! I have never been let down by the staff and whenever there is an issue, which comes with the territory of operating a business, they are always quick and responsive. Overall, its the customer service that sets this establishment apart from all others; I often come here and don't even game, just to have a lively chat.

Thumbs up to Ignite! I went here to pick up a friend, having no intention of even going in but I decided why not. I have passed by this place numerous times and wanted to check out the place. The fact that they have a studio dedicated to "Rock Band" alone merits a visit! The layout is nice and clean, with Samsung flat panels all around and a couple couch set ups for some group gaming. Id like to give this place another visit to see what else they have to offer so this review shall be a work in progress. So far though, I like what I see! If youre a gamer and looking to brings some gamer friends out w you, check out Ignite Network! It is, afterall, around the way from Kuma's Corner.... =O

Ok, now let me start this out by saying I didn't come here for much. There was no game playing for me, although the prices I saw looked reasonable. I was having a dumb blonde moment, although I am a brunette, so I came here for help. What happened was my laptop wouldn't turn on at all. The battery on the thing pretty much sucks, so this was no surprise, but what I didn't realize is that you don't actually NEED the battery at all, which Ruben showed me when I got there. He removed the battery, which is shot, plugged the computer in, and lo and behold, it works! I just need to keep it plugged in until I can get a new battery! Thanks so much!!!

Pretty cool place for recreation or work. You can use computers for homework, browsing, or gaming. My brother in law likes to go in there to play xbox 360 online. I think it is $3 or $4 an hour? I know they do all nighters where you pay a fixed amount and get to game all night and eat pizza. Also, I hear they do work on computers if your computer crashes on you. All around good place for all things internet and computers.

Whenever my awesome cousins from Alaska come into town I always take them here. They love it and want to come back for the majority of their stay usually. This place has a really sleek and cool atmosphere. There's a lot to do and the food is pretty good. 10/10 from me and them I'm sure.
