In
December we discovered Heart Of Gaming, a magical place in North
Acton! Check out their Facebook page HERE
Adam
& Nick decided to spend a joint birthday there after finding
out about this Gamers Paradise. It's been growing in popularity
thanks to word of mouth & various articles about it, they
have a whole range of arcade machines so as you walk in you can warm
up with a bit of Street Fighter & then advance to Dance Dance
Revolution - a perfect combo! I might build up the confidence to have
a go on the Dance machines this time - everyone was so good I was gob-smacked watching them! The other rooms house various consoles
including N64 (wahoo!), SNES & X-Box & their plans
for this year are really exciting including a bar (hopefully with
some ale!). As well as gamers coming to brush up on their skills they
also hold regular tournaments & overnight sessions.
It
was awesome - we had so much fun! They've cleverly worked it so you
pay no more than £10 entrance (depending when you go, sometimes it's
cheaper) & all the machines are free. It meant the lads got
to play away for hours & newbies like me don't end up pouring
money down the drain trying to get past a first level!
Ash
& Nick got a bit too competitive over Donkey Kong, we finally
dragged them away kicking & screaming with Ash being the 2nd
top score on the machine & Nick in 3rd place....I think
they'd have still been there battling it out if it wasn't for the
allure of Jack Frost Ale at The Castle pub down the road - a great
place to stop off on the way there & back for refreshments
& friendly staff!
So if
you're ever in North Acton check the place out - it's amazing & run by a great guy! Go on show your support - you know you want to!

p.s
forgive me if any of my terminology is a bit backward - I'm not a
pro, I just enjoy playing!
