We’re hitting that moment in the year when things start to wind down. We’re pretty sure gaming will feature heavily in the shopping malls around the country, but for those who don’t want to make a fool of yourself dancing in front of the Kinect in public, it’s the last week of activity before the event organisers take their break…
It’s hard to believe that just over a week ago rAge 2013 opened its doors to the masses. Oddly, the Friday appeared pretty darn quiet to these undead eyes. However, that didn’t stop the event from breaking its own attendance. That record-breaker was 32,626 attendees which equated to “just under 13% more than in 2012!” Most of them appeared to…
This year’s rAge at the Coca-Cola Dome over the first weekend of October is looking to outdo last year’s record-breaking event. Kicking off on the 4th of October and running for three days until conclusion on Sunday 6 October, there is likely to be more than enough to keep most entertained for all three days, never mind a single day.…
Good morning. It is a good morning right? Right?! Work with me here, we need to remain positive on this Mun(ch)day… Microsoft Game Studios vice president Phil Spencer has said that Xbox One availability “should feel a lot better than it did for 360” back in 2005. They want “people to be able to walk in the store and buy one…
Thursday – why you not Friday? So. The Xbox One has a release date. 22 November. It’s for 13 countries only, and while South Africa is not one of them, there are plenty of other countries not getting it then. So quit your moaning. The countries that are getting the console before Christmas this year are: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France,…
Like all of the Trenchtown events to date, the morning started out with a downpour. Rain appears to accompany gaming, but thankfully, unlike the first Trenchtown event it didn’t appear to deter as many players. Even the slight risk of dropping Black Ops 2 for Halo 4 wasn’t quite the disaster-in-waiting it could’ve been. It’s pretty clear there is a…
Earlier this week registration opened for the third Gaming Tournament at Trenchtown in Observatory, Cape Town. The event will feature tournaments for Halo 4, FIFA 13, Street Fighter IV, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Injustice: Gods Among Us. To go along with the already announced cash prizes for the event, we have had some new sponsors come forward who will…
It was a busy week in South African gaming while you weren’t looking. There have been tournaments, which means there have been winners and losers. There has been news, which also means there have been winners and losers. So let’s get to it shall we… Xbox South Africa has issued a press release stating that any Xbox One prices currently…
Look, if you grew up as the metal and rap crossover kicked off, you probably can’t help but sing “Judgment Night” when thinking of the most recent 2upGamers event. Of course, I’m older than most, so maybe it’s just me, however, Judgment (or in this case, Judgement) was the word on many people’s lips at Trinity on 10 May. 2upGamers…
