South Africa’s East Coast gaming and geek lifestyle convention, ICON Durban, is happening 27 to 29 July. This year, e-gaming joins the tabletop mix, and we've got con tickets up for grabs. 

I’ve seen Cayde-6 in action as I took back the Prison of Elders from the rampaging forces that were running amok inside of it. I saw Cayde-6 engage not only in shenanigans, but also utter one final line of that hit harder than a precision shot from Perfect Paradox.

Hitman’s third episode might not have lived up to the ludicrously high benchmark set by the Sapienza stage, but it’s still an absolute masterpiece of crowded design and narrative ideas told through its visuals. Set in the hustle and bustle of the Marrakesh markets (Snail meat!
