A great video game is a joy to play, bringing fantasy, excitement and fun into our everyday lives. There’s just no topping the thrill of beating the final boss, scoring the treasure, vanquishing the enemy or tending a glorious virtual garden.

We thought of everything: from comfortable chairs designed with gaming in mind, to curtains to ensure a glare doesn’t get in the way. With these five items, you can maximize your enjoyment of your games and ensure comfort, ease and an immersive experience each time you decide it’s time to play.

Every game room or home theater needs one simple thing in order to be truly effective: darkness. A simple glare from a street light or a harsh sunbeam cast across your screen (or projected image) takes you right out of your game. Eliminate the annoyance and ensure a dramatically black backdrop with these insulated blackout curtains from YoungsTex. They’ll block 80 to 90% of sunlight, so even the harshest summer sun will not intrude on your game. Stylish on the outside and powerful on the inside, these curtains come in a range of colors and will make preparing your room for game time a breeze.

It comes with a footrest that folds neatly underneath for ultimate ease while you play. You deserve a treat.
