I was in Glasgow the other day to visit Esc gaming since I was recommended to visit it by a friend after I mentioned my visit to Microplay. Its on 166 Hope street just up from Glasgow Central station so it wasn’t too much of a walk for me to go .

When I got there I was pleasantly surprised. The place was brightly lit and the guys working there were really nice. We (me my friend and my brother) decided to have a look at the snacks they had on offer and found that they sold POT NOODLES and KOKA NOODLES! I was amused but my friend was excited at the prospect of having noodles while gaming.

After the noodle ogling we decided to have our accounts created and pay for a couple of hours game play. Being our first visit we automatically got an hours free gaming. We decided to pay for an extra hour since we intended to play for around 2 hours. By the time we had sat down one of the workers brought over my friends noodles ready to eat, he was ready for anything in counter strike now!

We enjoyed ourselves at Esc gaming but one thing I didn’t like was that we had quite a bit of lag while playing Counter Strike Source but that could have been due to many reasons. The other niggling point was that the keyboards were fairly bog standard and the mouse and headsets were OK too but they pale in comparison to those provided in Microplay. These were the only downsides to Esc gaming and we only played one game remember, you can also argue that fancier gaming peripherals don’t make that much of a difference (Esc gaming did have Razer Krait gaming mice). One BIG upside to going to Esc gaming is that they are currently charging £1 an hour! compared to Microplay’s £2 an hour which is a plus! Double the gaming for the same price. Also the staff at Esc gaming I felt were a lot more friendly making you feel more comfortable. I think Ill be giving Esc gaming another visit in the near future! (I still have 1 hour left on my account!!!) You can visit their site at www.esc-games.com .

As a side note Id just like to let you know that at www.ashmansreviews.co.uk they are giving out promo codes for a file sharing program made by GigaTribe so if you are into sharing videos, pictures and files with your friends you should give it a shot. The code gives you access to their “ultimate” edition for 3 months for free which cant be a bad thing!
