OK,  I know I said I’d try to lay off the Top 10 X posts, but it’s Friday and I’m in a good mood, so when I saw this, I thought back fondly to one of the things that has made gaming so much fun over the years: developers with a sense of humour. Finding [...]

As much as we all love our PS3s, I’m sure almost all of us feel somewhat annoyed every time we’re prompted to download a new firmware update which doesn’t tell us anything about what it does. It seems that Sony will supply a features list if they feel like it, and if they don’t… who [...]

As usual, I decided to hop onto the PlayStation Network last night to see if anything new or interesting had been made available. After all, I’ve got my uncapped connection now, it would be nice if I could get some use out of it. I was expecting the usual barrage of Minis, trailers, themes and [...]

For eight consecutive years PC gamers have known that the excitement and pure glee of Christmas arrives early in the form of the adrenalin charged 53-hour NAG LAN @ rAge, brought to you this year by Alienware.  The giant of South African gaming LANs will see 2,080 players prepare to defend their honour with their [...]

I find stuff like this very amusing. Apparently a Mortal Kombat fan was so stoked by the news of the new game returning to its roots and going a bit more old school that he made and entire animated video of the fatalities from the first game out of construction paper. It’s quite impressive, actually, [...]

Man, it seems like Capcom is really milking this Street Fighter thing, aren’t they? It seems they’ve realised how much the world loves the game – even some gamers who aren’t all that into 2D fighters – and they’ve decided to sell us as much Street Fighter merchandise as they can manage. And I’m such [...]

Two more characters have been added to the lineup in Capcom’s upcoming Marvel vs Capcom 3. The first in on the Marvel side, and it’s none other than the Norse god, Thor. Yep, I guess we can expect a lot of hammer bashing and lightning bolts being thrown around in some crazy combos. The second [...]

Recently, a writer over at Bitmob directs readers to a website containing a lot of in-game screenshots that were taken so skillfully that they could stand as legitimate photography in their own right. He then asks the question: can videogame screenshots serve as art? I found myself thinking the same thing when I played with [...]

In an event organised and coordinated by Vogel’s, the creators of the PS3 Twistdock charger, a team of six Dutch enthusiasts logged a 50 hour multiplayer session of Red Dead Redemption. I’m pretty sure they had small breaks for eating and other necessary acts, but apart from that it was beginning to end – 50 [...]

This Christmas, there will be two ways to purchase Kinect in South Africa: The standalone unit for R1999.99, or the bundle package for R3699,99. Let’s take a look at what you get for your money: The bundle, which is arguably more attractive from a price perspective, will include the new “slim” Xbox 360, but not [...]
