T-Enterprise, the Glasgow based games design and development company, is renowned for its topical and fun games and has now released a brand new viral game that takes inspiration from Wimbledon or more specifically the brand new roof over Centre Court.

Centre Court Meteor Smash features the Wimbledon Centre Court under attack from a killer meteor shower. It takes 8 minutes to put the brand new roof over the court in place, but until then it is down to you to save the grass from absolute destruction by batting the meteors away.

The game throws meteor after meteor at you for the 8 minutes it takes for the roof to close but any one that makes it past your racket will damage the grass. It takes only 3 meteors to ruin Wimbledon so you must use your racket to hit them away!

This is the latest free viral game released by T-Enterprise and can be found at http://www.t-enterprise.co.uk/wimbledonroof

To play this free game, just line the tennis racket up with the path of the meteor using your mouse and then left click to hit it away.

For every meteor you manage to hit, you get a point and can watch your score build up. They will come faster though and if you happen to let 3 through then you lose. The grass would be too damaged to play on.

One of the biggest video games in the world, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, will this summer take over the former site of the prestigious Lazarides gallery in central London, the first time in the UK that a space of this size has been devoted to a single game.

From July 3rd to September 1st, across the whole school holidays, the space is being transformed into the Gathering Hall, a haven for Monster Hunter players to congregate, socialise and, of course, play Monster Hunter, with hundreds of fans expected to descend each day.

Friday 3rd July will see the grand opening of the Gathering Hall at 3pm, with fans expected to be queuing round the block to gain entrance. This will be a great opportunity to check out the space, see the social element of the game in action, talk to some fans, and to appreciate exactly why this is such a phenomenon amongst gamers.

Three floors will be available for players - featuring comfortable seating, free soft drinks and amazing graffiti art, and enough space for several hundred enthusiasts to come together and play. Open from 10am to 8pm, 7 days a week, and from 10am to 10pm on Thursdays, The Gathering Hall will open its doors to everyone who wants to experience Monster Hunter at its best - played with other people - and to meet fellow fans. Admission is only allowed with a PSP - so don’t forget your console and a copy of Monster Hunter!

Monster Hunter is THE biggest game in Japan at the moment, outselling all other titles by hundreds of thousands of copies. It’s such a phenomenon that people of all ages play it - parents with their children, married couples, even employees with their bosses - but the biggest market is tweens and teens, who go absolutely mental for it.

Experience Monster Hunter for yourselves at 121 Charing Cross Road, London, WC2 0EW.

Wii owners can now take on the likes of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer or play as Maria Sharapova against Venus Williams to recreate some classic court battles in this critically acclaimed tennis series.

What’s more, the new Wii version of Virtua Tennis 2009 has been made fully compatible with Wii Motion Plus - a precision device that attaches to the bottom of the Wii Remote putting the user much more in control of the game.

MotionPlus, acccording to the designers, can give you more freedom to place the ball exactly where you want it to go … It’s a more complete tennis gaming experience.”

Game designer Kenton Fletcher, said: “It had to have all the features the other versions did; the same online; the same in-game features. We didn’t want Wii owners to buy Virtua Tennis 2009 and say why have I only got half the game that the PS3 version has?”

And for those who think arcade style tennis games like Virtua Tennis could never satisfy the more competitive streak in them, the all new Online Ranking System (which sees players rising through the ranks and competing for the ultimate title on worldwide leader boards) is sure to make them think again.
