Think you're good at online games? Prove it

Think you've got the skills to school GamesRadar? Want a chance to hand us our asses online? Well now's your chance. Starting this Thursday (27 March) we're launching PlayRadar, a new fortnightly event that gives you the chance to show us your mettle in a multiplayer showdown.

Every other Thursday at 4pm (GMT) two members of the GR team will take on all-comers in a series of online matches. All you have to do is send us a friend request from your PS3 or 360 and we’ll invite you into a private game where you can blow us away with your gaming skills.

After each series of games, we’ll write up a match report that’ll be posted on these very pages. This will include the results, players we encountered and any significant events (read: noteworthy drubbings). So if you think you know a trick or two, make sure we see it.

The first set of matches will take place tomorrow on the battlefields of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on the Xbox 360 - PC, PS3 and Wii players will get their chance to take part in forthcoming matches.

All you have to do now is send us a friend request, and get practicing.

See you online.

James Jarvis
Executive Producer, GR Video

Hi I'm James or JJ if you like, I'll answer to both. I'm the Executive producer for GR video which means I've had at least a part in all the hot moving pictures you'll find on the site (even if that part was just saying, yes that's a good video). I also produce the Future Games Show and Golden Joystick Awards. Away from the office you'll either find me playing Fortnite, or walking my dog. I'm better at one than the other, I'll let you decide which.
