Birmingham’s soon-to-open interactive gaming centre, Omega Sektor (pictured here), is by far the biggest location of its type to open in the U.K. – it is undoubtedly 'A Very Good Thing' for both gamers and the British games industry - and SPOnG wishes the guys behind this ambitious project all the very best.

Omega Sektor contains over 440 bleeding-edge top-end PCs as well as a designated console gaming area with massive fancy high definition tellies to play on.

There’s also an MP3-enabled café! We're not quite sure how that works but one thing is for sure – it certainly sounds like The Future!

The centre, located on Birmingham’s Corporation Street, opens its doors on 10th August, to capitalise on the legions of bored summer holiday kids across the country desperate for something new to entertain themselves with, other than sitting at home constantly updating their MySpace pages.

Omega Sekor's Adrian Le Mans commented, "LAN centres are traditionally quite small and only offer gaming and internet access. Omega Sektor will offer visitors an all-round entertainment experience - from playing some of the hundred plus games to watching films, listening to music and meeting with friends in the cafes and chill-out areas..."; it also boasts what is apparently, "Birmingham’s largest internet café".

SPOnG will be paying the centre a visit in the coming weeks to bring you our full impressions of the Omega Sektor experience.
