Washington - Cause, a nonprofit that provides comfort items and organizes recreation events for wounded soldiers, said it teamed with Major League Gaming (MLG) and retailer GameStop to host a video game tournament on Sunday at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. GameStop donated 10 Nintendo Wii consoles, while Major League Gaming provided technical assistance and top pro gamers to help run the tournament.
