Gamesblog tournament news: this week GRAW, next week Battlefield!

Don't forget, the first ever official Gamesblog online gaming sesh takes place at 8pm tonight. We'll be doing battle via the Xbox 360 version of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. If you didn't leave your GamerTag on last week's notice but want to sign up for action, please leave your details in the comments section below.

I'll be running the game as a private session from my machine. Telewest have very kindly bumped up my connection to 10meg providing an upload of around 380Mbps which should be fast enough to handle 16 players - although the proof will be very much in the online gaming pudding. Be aware, things could go pear-shaped pretty quickly - if so, I'll need to revise down the number of players I can handle. Let's see how it goes. Also, at the moment, we have more GamerTags than I can accomodate in one sesh so we may need to evolve a sort of 'winner stays on' system with three or four competing teams.

Anyway, come online at 7.50 and either send an 'I want to be friends' message to Keefer71 or wait til I send you one.

Next week at the same time, I'll be running a Battlefield 2 server for PC gamers. More info on that later...
