I know loads of people play games online but it's something we've not done up until this morning.

This is the boy playing mario karts earlier today against his cousin in Perth. Perth Australia.

She whooped him all morning but he started to win towards the end. Think it was getting late over there by then.

I think it's amazing.

My little man gets on PES 09 on the PS3 and FIFA 09 on his Wii and winns most games. He is only 5

I cant even beat him at it.

I keep looking at the Xbox Online thingy but at £50/60 I can put that to better use, so I will keep playing on my own or against my daughters

LOL, so did I, and a Vic 20.

Stevel, you want to get COD 5 for the Wii, a grown up game, online too

Got to say though, I think modern games have sacrificed game play for realism now though.

A bloke I worked with, his son worked for a software development company and they had the contract with BP to furnish their software needs. Anyway, when he was on standby, he would get a laptop and a pager or phone (can't remember which). If a computer went down anywhere in the world, he would be notified via the phone (or pager) and he would log on with the laptop and check and diagnose any software fault anywhere in the world, FROM HIS BED, fix it then go back to sleep. Amazing

I was a real sceptic about this whole online community garbage about 18 months ago, now you wont find a bigger gaming geek than me

I am the same TBH when your online gaming on the PS3, it still amazes me when your nattering to someone on the southern hemisphere or west coast USA...
