    These days, the line between computer gaming and real-life gaming is becoming more and more blurred all the time. As games get more realistic, and the skills on screen get closer and closer to the skills needed on the pitch or the court, sports gaming is becoming a sport in its own right. The Fortnite World Cup filled the Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing Meadows with as many fans as the US Open tennis tournament. In basketball, many of the major teams have their own gaming teams competing in the virtual version of the game, the NBA2K League.

    At the same time, for many people, live sports have become more like a computer game as they analyse the action and predict the outcomes using a sports betting app, making every goal, run or point feel like they’ve scored it themselves.

    Tony Hawk’s Pro Skate

    A fond memory for many who whiled away their teen years in their mom’s basement, the Tony Hawk’s games may have been updated with the latest graphics technology, but they still have all the cheesy charm of the original skateboarding action and is one of those classic games still worth playing.

    F1 2021

    This is the official video game of the FIA Formula One series and it really shows. All the drivers and all the famous circuits are here as they fight for pole position, the chequered flag, and that Champagne moment on the podium.
