Buddycop shooter LA Cops is one such captured game and Gameboy-esque prison sim The Escapists is another. It is no secret that Team 17 has been going around Europe with a giant hoover, sucking up as many microscopic indie devs as possible to reinforce its roster of upcoming games. Loading Bar ranks all of its cocktails with a game-like difficulty scale. Not as cold as I remember Skyrim being but still a good start to the night. Sliding through tight gaps and jumping from wall to wall like a ninja is a little difficult at first but when you get good at Speedrunners, you get really good.Ī straightforward, tall glass of delicious spiced rum (with vanilla vodka and lavender bitters). Aside from that, it has the benefit of being the type of game that quickly rewards practice. He kind of dives forward like a Great White leaping out of the water, keeping his legs rigidly straight. Undoubtedly, the best thing about Speedrunners is the way the man in the shark costume jumps. Think Canabalt meets Micro Machines (with grappling hooks). Players can attack each other with giant boulders or missiles, while the screen gets smaller and smaller, eventually forcing someone out of the screen and into oblivion.
This is a 2-4 player racing game that sees tiny men in chicken suits face off against tiny men in moose costumes as they do laps around an obstacle-filled cityscape. What games, you ask? Well, let’s take a look at what we played. As such, it would only be fair to rate the cocktails as accompaniments alongside the games. For the most part, they were pretty damn good. As the night wears on, I find that the cocktails being served to me have become (mostly) synchronised to the games, each a little alcoholic companion that would last only until I finished murdering that wretched blue swordsman in Samurai Gunn, or outpacing that dastardly unicorn in Speedrunners. But before that, a trip to the bar staff is in order. It is probably best to go through them one by one, giving each its due attention. When I arrive at the bar, located deep in the city’s hipster underbelly of Stoke Newington, there are about five games on show. Obviously, with all this going on, RPS needed somebody to investigate. All this while serving up colourful cocktails with names like “Earthworm Gin” and “Rum: Total War”. It also hosts a local multiplayer night called Multiclash, where developers can show off their party games. As well as having a cushy basement filled with screens and games consoles, it regularly welcomes groups of Smash Bros devotees or Netrunner fans to take part in friendly tournaments. Loading Bar (aka Scenario) is a videogame-themed bar in London that hosts gigs, games and parties. Every month, we dispatch Brendan to some of gaming’s best blowouts to schmooze and play party games with the partygoers.
