Manchester Amateur Gaming League: Random Video Games @ Cultplex (Weds 22nd Oct)

Do you love playing video games but deem yourself a filthy casual gamer as opposed to a l33t tourney e-gaming Pr0? Then team up with other n00bs of your kind and battle against other teams of the same rookie calibre to win in a completely random mini games tournament! Warning: much hilarity will ensue, be it player or be it audience member! (maximum 4 players, anyone can come along just to spectate) >_< Be there or be a tiny pixelated NPC! *-*

Some great footage can be seen over here! <_<

"Join us for Manchester’s first amateur gaming league! It’s a pub quiz vibe with a gaming angle! Form your team of four pals and head down to sit in our cinema playing the best video games out there on our absolutely stellar cinema screen and gut churning sound system vying to beat out 11 other teams of gaming nerds in a series of mystery console and PC based challenges. This IS NOT a serious gaming tournament, this is a chance to bring back the glory days of couch gaming on an epic scale. We’re in it for the fun of it.

BUT HOW DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK?!

Book your team in using the links at the bottom of this page, turn up on the night at 7pm sharp to register your team, 7.30pm the first round begins and a random team will be up first having no idea what the first game will be, 7.31pm the game is revealed and the team will need to decide who from their team is going to be nominated to play, the rest of the teams jump on the couch and we play through the round, rinse and repeat for round 2,3 & 4 points are allocated for each round so at the end of the night a winning team will be crowned! IT’S AS SIMPLE AS THAT!

WHAT GAMES WILL WE BE PLAYING?

Who knows! What we can tell you is that we’ll be bringing games from the past 50 years right up to absolutely brand spanking new releases, there will be time trials, there will be high score battles, there will be head to head battles, there will be weird controllers, there will be blockbusters, there will be left field indie games and you won’t know what the games are until the very second the round begins.

HOW DO I BOOK ON AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

To make sure we get the best attendance levels possible, we’re introducing a £10 team booking fee. The first prize each month is a whole month of FREE CINEMA with tickets to every in house CPX screening!
