2026 marks the ninth edition of Africa Games Week (AGW), an exhibition designed not only to showcase the incredible gaming development taking place across our continent, but also to connect developers with publishers, marketing teams, and the like. The exhibition takes place in Cape Town, at Workshop 17 at The Watershed, giving attendees an incredibly Cape Town experience as they huddle around games in development or enjoy a panel hosted by one of the many guest speakers. This year, Africa […]

Resident Evil 2026 Review: Damn! I forgot I had popcorn.

Sock0Puppet — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 08:48:31 +0000

There was this time somewhere in the late 1990s when I wasn’t old enough to play games but knew what was happening in them. My cousin and brother, on the other hand, were the perfect age to play games on our PlayStations. Also, it was fantastic because, to our parents, games were things meant for children, even if they had the worst ratings and actual blood on the covers. It was during this period that we discovered Resident Evil. I […]

There Are No Ghosts At The Grand Press Showcase: I Got A Hankering For Some GHOSTLY Shenanigans!

Sock0Puppet — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 07:26:32 +0000

There Are No Ghosts at the Grand. If you know what that means, then you’re ready to learn more about a game that genuinely has the potential to kick-start a new era of cosy gaming. Namely, it’s a weird mixture of mystery, cosy building, and thrilling ghost hunting. This past weekend, the studio, Friday Sundae, allowed a few journalists into a demo featuring a few quests from the game. On Friday evening, I wandered into their press server and sat […]

Tech Tuesday: Would You Put Cybernetics Into Your Body?

Cody Nery Thomson — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 13:39:40 +0000

I would happily trade the seventeen million different forms of ID, credit cards, debit cards, access cards and whatever other bits of plastic I’ve somehow accumulated over the years for one tiny scannable chip in my forearm. Tap my arm to pay. Tap it to unlock my front door. Tap it to get into the office. Tap it whenever someone needs me to prove that I am, in fact, me. No wallet. No cards to lose. No standing at a […]

Transcend 340S 256GB SDXC Review: Fast Enough for Most Cameras

Regardt van der Berg — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 12:40:56 +0000

I still maintain you can never have enough SD cards, it’s still my favourite camera storage format and here is one more to add to your camera bag. The Transcend 340S sits towards the performance end of the company’s conventional UHS-I SD card range. The 256GB version I got for review carries UHS-I U3, V30 and A2 ratings, uses 3D NAND flash and is officially rated for sequential speeds of up to 160MB/s read and 90MB/s write. Having said that, […]

First Impressions: Heatwarped

BigMacDaddy — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 11:05:47 +0000

When it comes to the term “spiritual successor”, it is important to ask two important questions: 1) what aspect of its inspiration is most apparent and 2) what is the succession thereof? When there was a hubbub about Heatwarped possibly usurping NFS: Underground, I simply had to download the demo and take it for a spin. Loading the game and jumping into the city of Ratfield, the 2000s street racing aesthetic immediately becomes apparent. Bright lights seep into the soaked […]

Transcend DrivePro 620 Review: Your only reliable eyewitness

Regardt van der Berg — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 10:43:54 +0000

Driving on South African roads gives you plenty of reasons to want a dashcam. There are potholes galore that demand your attention while the person behind you treats a following distance as a personal insult. I’m also horrified, on a daily basis, by the number of cars and taxis that treat a red light like a mere suggestion, and not a command. Having a dashcam these days is not an optional luxury anymore, it is a necessity to allow you […]

Weekly Replay: Arcade Racing Is Back!

BigMacDaddy — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 09:20:01 +0000

That’s it. That’s the tweet. Or the X. Whatever it is, I had the pleasure and fortune of reviewing Star Wars: Galactic Racer and boy was that the proverbial Hunter’s Gold that those okes were looking for in the desert or something – it was REFRESHING. In light of this, I decided to look back on when the last Star Wars racing game was. That would be Star Wars: Racer’s Revenge in 2002. That is nearly my entire lifetime. You […]

Viture Beast XR Glasses Review: Simply the Be(a)st

Cody Nery Thomson — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 07:49:58 +0000

It’s been almost a year since I had the Viture Luma Pro XR Glasses on my desk, and it’s been just as long since I’ve wanted to give the Viture Beast XR Glasses a test run. All I heard from the sales guys at the time was “The Beasts are the ones you really want to try out!” And, it worked, obviously. Now, we are finally here. Finally, at the point where I’ve been able to have the Beast on […]

10 Overwhelmingly Positive Steam Games You Should Grab in the Autumn Sale

Arielle Pieterse — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 07:40:52 +0000

Steam sales are dangerous things. You open the store, telling yourself you’re only going to have a quick look, and twenty minutes later, you’re performing increasingly complicated financial gymnastics to explain why buying ten games is technically saving money. But if your backlog is going to grow anyway, we may as well make sure you’re adding some absolute bangers to it. The Steam Autumn Sale is underway until the 8th of October, and instead of throwing every cheap game we […]
