Hello everyone! It has been quite some time since an update was posted on the group. We kind of found out the hard way that constant announcements about new gaming news annoyed quite a few people haha. However the group has remained abandoned for some time now and I apologise for that and I would like to thank everyone that remained in the group for their support.

The time has finally come for some fundamental changes in the concept and approach to the way the group works. I understand now that merely having a group that posts gaming updates does not seem to work too well as discussed before, therefore I would like to encourage people to use the group as a way of discussing anything about gaming as they see fit. Whether you want to set up a clan match or just chat with a group of like-minded individuals. See an awesome mod? Know how to fix an issue that others don't? Want to talk about an amazing game you just wish everyone would buy? Start the discussion!

This approach is temporary while things are happening in the background. I have some pretty big things planned and I would love for all of you to be a part of it when the time comes. The more South Africans the better! However that will only happen later in the year once things get put into place. So please, keep an eye out for something awesome.

Before I forget, here is an awesome game to keep an eye out on. I know the lead developer personally. His name is Alex Koshelkov, also known as the Photoshop god (you may know him from Youtube? http://www.youtube.com/user/AlexanderKoshelkov) He is an amazing graphics artist.
He is working on a new game known as The Universim. Please check out the concept in the shared files section of Steam Greenlight (still early in development, you can see by the temporary white-box city textures). The link is provided below:

Once again thank you for your continued support and I hope to see you all here again in the future.

Hey guys,

Happy Friday. :)

Metro Last Light:
Yet another series that proves that post-apocalyptic games are even better with Russian accents. I was one of those people who played Metro 2033 and actually really enjoyed the game. Most called it a flawed masterpiece as it was held back by a few problems. Last Light looks to be the game that fans always wished 2033 would be. Amazing graphics, a gripping story and tense atmosphere are all on offer here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUN7B4q5_Rc

Watch Dogs:
Critics loved it and the bottom jaws of gamers everywhere had to be scraped off of the floor as the Watch Dogs gameplay demo came to an end. Built on an entirely new engine, everything looks extremely next generation. From physics to textures and audio, it was quite the experience. Even in its current alpha state, it looks extremely promising.

There are many more titles that are worth checking out on youtube, but I have probably posted way too much already. Hope you enjoy the videos!

Hello everyone. As a responsible person I have to warn you that the following wrap-up may result in excessive spending, relationship trouble and the possible maxing out of your credit card. All jokes aside, E3 2012 has been a very exciting time for gamers everywhere. Great new IP's were announced and games that we have known about for a while were shown on the big screen in all their splendor. I do not believe that it is easy for South African gamers to make their way to L.A for E3 every year, so I like most of us have only viewed what was shown on Youtube and read some interviews.

Far Cry 3:
I was sold at 'your character will not suffer from Malaria'. The jungles and open veld of Africa have been forgotten and replaced with the 'perfect' tropical holiday destination. Only you might have to get used to having bullet holes in your umbrella and corpses drifting ashore. The E3 demo itself starts off with something rather unexpected. The Dunia 2 engine that FC3 is built on looks fantastic, even though consoles are obviously the main focus of development. Yet the opening of the demo does not show off great water rendering, detailed jungles and pretty explosions. We are greeted with a pair of high-resolution boobies. The rest of the demo does eventually get to the jungles and explosions, but one of the coolest features is definitely the executions/assassinations. All can be seen here in the actual video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLFZVNHPaeM

Borderlands 2:
Time to 'joy puke your face off'. As a big Borderlands fan, I am extremely excited about the sequel. Gearbox has announced that Borderlands 2 will be receiving a ton of support on the PC like LAN, advanced video settings, Physx (gotta love that pretty water simulation) and a proper PC UI. There is a whole new random weapon generation engine that can create even more guns than the one used in the original Borderlands. Pretty crazy hey? You want more Claptrap? Then check out the actual E3 demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6UqTedFpew&feature=related

Medal of Honor: Warfighter:
Frostbite 2! Ah, now that I have your attention you should read on to find out what else the game has to offer. In 2010, Medal of Honor was released and the sales have climbed beyond 3 million copies. The singleplayer was fantastic, but the multiplayer was extremely lacking when it came to very important things like proper spawn areas and balance. Overall it was a decent shooter that had far more potential than it initially brought to the table. In Warfighter, Danger Close (the developer) are going all out to make this new MOH quite memorable. Improvements such as the new Frostbite 2 engine, a broader story and hopefully far better multiplayer. So far they have not disappointed with what they have revealed. Here is the E3 demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn0RpX97fD8

Tomb Raider
The story of how Lara Croft became a badass. That is how most gamers are describing it lately and while it is mostly true, there is far more depth and emotion behind the story in this new adventure. Lara will have to survive in any way possible while she searches for a way to escape the island where she and the other survivors of the boat crash have been stranded. You can watch the E3 demo here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ0qro-5JW0

Assassin's Creed 3
There is nothing quite like the feeling of power you get from being an assassin. AC3 offers combat that is far superior to its predecessors and gives you the tools to survive almost any encounter with large groups of enemies. Better pack an extra blanket for the snow.
Here is the cinematic trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pUhraVG7Ow
