We are always excited by the initiative taken by the South African gaming community to make things happen, rather than to sit around waiting for the “powers-that-be” to instigate things. On the other hand, we are always disappointed when the self same community fails to support such ventures. We urge you to get involved, so do so. As soon as you’ve…
This past weekend (and week for that matter) was pretty jam packed with activity on both the console and PC eSport fronts. The Xbox South Africa sponsored and organised Halo 4 Tournament drew to a close on Saturday. With tickets to Gamescom 2013 up for grabs, it was down to the remaining eight lone wolves and four teams to do…
Wow. Made it. Friday. We’ll stop reminding you of what day it is now. Enjoy your Friday morning news… The latest insider report doing the rounds regarding the next-Xbox comes via The Verge.

The last few weeks have seen around 60 teams sign up or Mweb Gamezone’s beta of their new ladders system, which (for now at least) will be played on Black Ops 2. However, before the carnage for the prizes (or just for shits and giggles) begins, the good folk over at central command have got a few do’s and don’ts…
So, it was a bit of a rollercoaster ride of a weekend for South African sports wasn’t it? Bafana Bafana seemed to forget how to score from the penalty spot and found themselves out of the African Cup of Nations after a penalty shootout. The Proteas – the cricketers, in case any confusion ensues – have the Pakistani team on…
Are you one of the 60 teams to have registered for the upcoming beta test of the Black Ops 2 Mweb Ladder System? If not, it’s still not too late, head here and register now.
