Christmas is coming!

World of Warcraft

After Nat's rallying cry on the forums, the WoW players have come out of hiding, gathering a fair number of new recruits along the way.

Join in the fun each Sunday - as you can see from the forum posts, people are levelling up quickly and starting to take on some of the more challenging quests.

We also have WoW timecards for sale in the centre. At just £20 each they grant 60 days of game time in WoW.

Why not come in and try it out on the centre's WoW account? If you like what you see, we have several copies of WoW available for you to quickly setup a new account and start building your own character.

Guild Wars: Nightfall

The latest chapter in the Guild Wars saga, Nightfall, is now out. Those of you who've played the Prophecies campaign may remember the desert land of Elonia. Now Nightfall brings you the full grandeur of Elonia - and with it come a slew of welcome game enhancements.

Chief among these are Heroes - special henchmen who can be unlocked by completing special quests. You can have up to three Heroes in your party, and once you've unlocked a Hero you can pick and choose to complement your party's loadout.

Not only Heroes will gain XP and level up with you, but you can also direct them on the battlefield, allowing for much more tactical control than with henchmen.

You can also customise weapons for your Heroes, add Runes to their armour, and acquire new skills for them, as well as modifying their skill bar to suit your needs.

With Heroes, Nightfall adds extra depth to the already rich Guild Wars experience, and fixes the common complaints about Henchmen.

EVE: Revelations

The cold war is starting to heat up in the EVE universe, with the release of the latest free expansion, Revelations.

New ships, skills, and items are just a part of the shakeup. All ships now have special 'rig' slots, allowing you to salvage materials from the wrecks of destroyed spacecraft, and build special effect rigs to fit to your ship. This takes ship customisation to a new level - by making it more difficult to guess what sort of loadout another player has, combat is a far more difficult and fraught affair.

A big defensive buff to all ships makes combat longer and more involved, and the new R&D skills and techniques will keep the tradesmen busy for a long time to come.

Add new battleships and battlecruisers to the mix, and the complex and involving universe of EVE just got a lot more challenging.

Why not come in and ask for a game client CD, and apply for your 14 day free trial?

Meet the winners

Our second Counter Strike: Source league recently drew to a close. This closely fought contest saw Nat take the top prize of £100, with Josh and Dilbert in second and third place, winning a week pass and a day pass respectively. You can see the full list of winners on the website.

Another recent winner was IRC regular Shattered, who won a limited edition Jones Holiday boxed set. Dismissing claims of playing with himself alone late at night, Shattered scored a resounding victory in the IRC trivia quiz.

Well done to all our winners - make sure you keep an eye on the member's area of our website to catch all our upcoming competitions and challenges!

You asked, and we listened! Following lots of customer feedback, we now stock a range of delicious hot meals in the centre. From sausage baguettes to Chicken Tikka and Rice, there's something for everyone.

As lucky centre regulars already know, after extensive taste testing, our partners Bon Appetit have a great range of delicious, quick meals.

Next time you're in the centre why not try one out and see how good they are?

Starting on the 2nd December we are running a new Tournament over the weeks leading up to Christmas. Similar to the other great tournaments we've hosted in the past - but this time there are two games to test your skill. For each of the 2 hour long Fixtures, you'll play Counterstrike: Source for 1 hour and Urban Terror for 1 hour.

For those of you who have never played Urban Terror before, its a tactical team deathmatch similar to Counterstrike but with more guns and toys to play with, as well as the chance you'll get told 'you just emulated a retarded dolphin'. Its dangerously good fun.

The prizes will be decided via a Frag Lotto, so come in during a Fixture, hop in a seat and rack up those kills, regardless of Kill-Death ratio. For each kill you make you get a numbered ticket, then at the end of the tournament three random tickets are drawn to decide the winners. This gives everyone who plays a chance to win! But remember the more you play, the more kills you get, the more chance you'll have of walking away at the end of the tournament with that £50 first place cash prize!

Lock-in's and all-nighters by arrangement.
