Does your beer match your game?

Living in one of America’s hardest-drinking cities, I naturally spend a fair amount of time bellying up to the bar. And if I’m not at the bar, I’m playing games.

Which begs the question: Does your choice of beer reflect what type of game you play? Read about these games/series and their beer equivalents and decide for yourself.

Go Red: Team Color May Affect Match Outcome

Want to win? Join the red team. You’ll be more likely to win, according to research published in CyberPsychology & Behavior.

In a scientific study done on Unreal Tournament 2004, a multiplayer FPS, researchers discovered that in this game, the red team had a slight advantage over blue. Taking the outcome of 1,347 matches from public servers worldwide while allowing players to freely choose between the colors, researchers recorded that the red team won 55% of the time. So, this would apply to Halo 3, Team Fortress 2, and other first-person shooters that use the blue and red color scheme as well.
