As one reader (thanks Chew Z) just reminded me, the weekend is nigh and like most of the adult population of Britain when there's the faintest hint of a warm evening, I will soon be standing in an over-crowded pub car park garden, supping from a flimsy plastic glass designed to dollop beer all over my trousers when I accidentally squeeze too hard.
Afterwards, many of us will get home slightly worse for wear but far too sober to contemplate Big Brother, and may well reach for a videogame. But what do you go for on those mythical friday or saturday post-pub gaming sessions? If you're with mates it might be the obvious Sing Star, Dance Dance Revolution or PES - perhaps Capcom vs SNK if you want to confuse and disorientate yourselves. Alone, you may fancy a lengthy Xbox Live session, although being caught drunk in charge of a sniper rifle can be embarrassing, as can falling asleep in the neat camping position you found. MMORPGs can be especially dangerous places when you're slightly inebriated - how many times have you woken up to discover that you've given away all your best items, and that you're now married to a wizard?
Anyway, my votes go to PES and Battlefield 1942. You?
