Escape the E3 madness by checking out what games and gadgets have caught the eye of Smiffy, the lead singer of Orphan Boy. The Pop/Rock trio from Cleethorpes have their new single ‘Pop Song’ available to download from July 19th which will be followed by their album ‘Passion, Pain and Loyalty’ on CD and download on August 2nd. Check out some tunes and tour dates on MySpace. Now to the questions and answers.
What are you playing at the moment?
I’m currently transfixed on Funkysnooker which is an online game were you challenge other people to a one on one or compete in tournaments. You start of with a bog standard ranking and have to work your way up by winning games, so it is quite realistic in that way and the graphics are good too.
What is your favourite game of all time and why?
Has to be Sensible World of Soccer, the one for the Amiga were you could buy and sell players. I was generally addicted to it and no one would see me for possibly 3-4 months, all my mates at school thought I had kicked the bucket. But this one is a deffo for me, the players didnt look the most realistic but the actual gameplay was mint, being able to swerve the ball and the view to play from was boss too. Then the transfer market, I can remember players like Gary Poole who played for Birmingham and he was a real cheap buy, but one of the fastest right backs on the game. One amazing game indeed.
What game are you most looking forward to?
I haven’t really taken any notice of what games are due out at the minute, apart from Call of Duty when that came out. I’d love a remake of Sensible World of Soccer to be made, there is one for the PS2 but its not the same as transfer market one.
What gadget could you not live without?
Well I ain’t a gadget man really but I suppose without me laptop Id be twiddling me thumbs, its like me other half at the minute but we dont argue, ha! Deffo be lost without this.
Thanks to Smiffy for taking the time to answer the questions and we will have another Q&A next week!
