Title: Any gamers on here?
Post by: Pete on March 28, 2012, 05:59:48 PM: My grandson was on about the Game shop closing - apparently he went there quite a bit. Anyone have any suggestions about an alternative?

Post by: Pete on March 28, 2012, 08:01:58 PM: TBH emmz, I don't really know. I've never been big on games myself, when you work on the web all day every day and you are keen on forums, you don't fancy playing games on the 'puter as well.

Plus he is far too good for me to play against... :(

Post by: Pete on March 29, 2012, 12:04:45 AM: None - unless he can add something to the deal that doesn't cost more

Tricky

He's probably better off going to them now anyway, Game was always a bit pricey :)
