HMV’s Gamerbase - December 10, 2007

HMV has launched a technical youth club where 18+ year olds can play hundreds of computer games.

The base has over 70 computers and giant plasma screens. This is the first of its kind in the UK and HMV are expected to roll this out across other stores in an attempt to change itself from just a cd store to a entertainment centre.

The base is in the Trocadero centre which I have no idea where it is but a quick search on Google revealed the centre is in London.

This was described as a gamer heaven and I support the desicion to make it 18+ as I know that young teenagers would use it as a hang out place rather than the serious gaming centre it is meant to be.

I always wondered how a gaming centre would do were one to be launched. I imagined large multiplayer LAN games as the focal point of the centre and would be a good addition to an evenings entertainment.

Grand Theft Auto IV - December 7, 2007

I watched the GTA 4 tailor today. I must say….. I’m impressed.

It looked very good and I cannot wait. I dont play my console that much but there are just some games that I really get into and GTA is one of them.

I’m really looking forward to the release which is in February.

Can anyone suggest some games I might like?

I’m into RPGs but with decent story lines. I liked Bioshock recently but hated Lost Planet.
