Hi Peeps!
I will be doing my first post by introducing you guys to a LAN Gaming shop named "Colosseum"
Background Info:
Colosseum used to be located at Level 7 of illuma@Bugis. They used to be Singapore Number 1 Biggest LAN Center which consist of more than 100 gaming PC. Then illuma@Bugis was taken over by another owner and now it is called Bugis+. Colosseum then shifted to Level 5 of Bugis+ which turn out to be half in size of the previous location.
All pictures were taken by me when I was there on Saturday November 11. This is the entrance of Colosseum LAN Shop.
First Impression:
The interior, I managed to count that they have around 67 gaming PCs. The environment was very clean too. The feeling it gave me was cozy as the temperature was just right. I loved it.
Environment [4/5stars]
Price & Service:
As the woman at the counter greeted me with a warm welcome, she showed me the sign listing the rates they are charging. Comparing with the other LAN Shops, their prices are a little pricey. Therefore i just paid $3.50 for a hour.
I prefer the way they process the transaction as the user would need to pay first before using the computer. At other LAN shops, you are given a number tag and when you are done playing then you would need to pay up. I prefer the method Colosseum are using as it will not over shoot the budget that you have and you need not worry that u do not have enough to pay up.
Service [4/5stars]
Price [3/5stars]
The Experience:
This was the computer i had used. The monitor they used was a 23" Acer LED mointor. Good screen size. In addition, they were using both keyboard and mouse by Steel Series. These are no ordinary keyboard and mouse. They are the latest gaming gears. The leather chair was comfortable too.
Steel Series 6Gv2 Keyboard
Steel Series Sensei Mouse
Steel Series 5Hv2 Headset
There were many amount of games installed too. Most online games could be found there, but i was expecting a little more such as 70 over games.
While playing a game "The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3" and "Left 4 Dead 2" both at the Highest resolution and quality, the graphic does not "spike" nor turn "laggy". The PC turns out to be an Acer Predator Machine.
Equipment [4/5]
Variety Of Games [3/5]
Speed Of Computer [5/5]
It was quite an experience. The sound, equipments and seat was great. After that 1 hour, i went to the counter to grab some tidbits. There were even display shelves selling gaming equipments too.
The prices compared to retail stores are the same. The staffs then told me they are also the official retailers for SteelSeries, Tt eSPORTS and Razer™.
Conclusion:
Overall I had a great time there. Good environment, service and equipments.
Pros:
- Cozy Environment
- Good Service
- Good computer speed
- Good gaming equipment ready
Cons:
- Expensive
- Crowded during week ends
