News Game launches Multiplay Gaming Arena in Manchester

They're enormously excited by it, as well they should... But I'm enormously disappointed at how far behind the rest of the world we are when it comes to Internet and gaming cafes. This video is a fine example:

 

Excited? More like furiously back pedalling, for the last decade they have been at the forefront of the war against anything pc gaming related in physical shops.

 

If this 'arena' is going to be anything like their stores the OCUK PCs will be gradually whittled down to a single rig hidden in a dark corner and be running the Sims 2.

Screw Game they've done nothing for PC gamers in the past decade and longer, this is far too little far too late.

All hail Gaben.

 

Wouldn't agree with this being a "first of it's kind experience" At Eclipse Computers (Eclipse Arena) in Coventry we have had a Gaming Arena attached to our retail store for 3 years now for eSports Tournaments and for people to use it as a gaming center, having said that I do like the look of the new "Game Arena" and wish Multiplay, OCUK and Game the best of luck with it
