Do you want to be one of the first people in the country, and possibly the world. Well Megagamers are back (after a prolonged break) and are offering the chance to 15 lucky people in JHB… Or in the world if you can get to JHB on Friday. This time they have decided to have it after work which is …

By Philip Dunkley echochrome, echochrome, echochrome. How on earth do I describe this game? Let me start by explaining this. We’ve all seen optical illusions, the 3D block kind, where it looks like a stairway is going up and down, but end up on the same level. Well, this is what this game is based on. It’s based on the …

So we have all seen Microsoft’s hand at E3 this year and all in all they did fine. I wanted and hoped for more but it was good and they didn’t insult everyone at the conference which was a great thing. Lets hope Nintendo and Sony can avoid repeating some of the biggest E3 f*&k ups ever made… Gamepro.com has …

Here is the footage of the Gears of War 2 Campaign that was shown at Microsoft’s E3 Conference. It’s looking good, I can say that much. [Thanks Flameboy for the tip] Last Updated: July 15, 2008

So Gears of War 2 is coming and from all the reports so far it’s going to be better than anything, including sliced bread. Well Gears 1 (and the Alpacas) were the reason I came back from the multi-player wilderness and I have huge expectations for this sequel. However I have some worries as well and most of them are …

A writer for StokedGamer.com has put up an interesting article comparing Ubisoft's version of Africa in their upcoming game Far Cry 2, to the real Africa that most of our Lazygamer readers see and experience for themselves. The author if from the US but lived in Johannesburg and Pretoria for two years of his life, doing quite a bit of travelling it seems. He compares not only the visuals and atmosphere of the game, but also its outlook and the political struggles that Africa faces everyday. As Africans ourselves, its interesting to read something like this and just realise where we are sometimes. He has also included a couple of photos as well as screenshots and concept art of the game for some comparison. Check it out here.

Wow how did I miss this earlier? I was just going through some of the older stories on the main gaming websites and I see that it was announced that Gears 2 is going to have bots in it… Much like the ones that have become a staple of Unreal Tournament over the years. I have to say that I …

Installs on the Playstation 3 have caused a lot of controversy over the last year or so, with the old debate of whether or not it is a problem and if it is necessary. A site called Tokipost.com posted up an article about how they wonder if the Xbox 360 will be heading down the same path now that the 60gb SKU is making its way into the market. I know that one of the reasons for game installs on the PS3 is the slower read rate of a Blu-Ray Disc, but it still makes you wonder if Microsoft is going to be taking a look at the idea. I personally think its a bogus idea unless it is only an optional install as Microsoft have made so many compromises in the past to accommodate owners of the Core or Arcade consoles that it will be strange if they suddenly flip their strategy around. But then again, nothing surprises me these days.
