You all know the story. You rush home with your recently bought game and can’t wait to start playing it. But wait! You have to install it. This is more [...]

There’s a reason why game developers let us in on as little information as possible, at a time. There’s also a reason why they don’t always look to their community [...]

Every now and again when I’m asked if I would like to review a specific game that I’m otherwise not entirely familiar with, the first thing I do after checking [...]

Let’s play a game real quick. No, not that kind of game. The year is 2010, the South African hosted FIFA World Cup is the spectacle of the year, and [...]

Welcome back to another exciting edition of Duncan’s Debates, where we aim to argue about anything and everything related to games and their industry. In the last installment we looked [...]

Addictions are a bad thing kids. They can ruin your life and make everyone miserable. If you smoke one cigarette, you will die (Mean Girls reference, and I’m NOT gay). [...]

I’m what you would call a modern gamer. I did, in fact, grow up playing NES games on one of those old shameless rip-off Golden China consoles and I somehow [...]

Every gamer who is reading this has at least once had the experience of not having enough money to purchase a game they really wanted, and contemplated selling vital organs [...]

Complexity and difficulty. Two huge aspects of gaming that many have argued, no longer exist in gaming. Everything’s simplified now, easier, more accessible. A first-time gamer could pick up and [...]

Foreword: Well, it seems I’ve managed to get myself into a bit of a pickle. In what I thought was an ingenious ruse to get myself kicked off The Team [...]

Coming out of a manic March of Mass Effect 3 and not much else, I have to admit that when I haven’t been playing the ridiculously inexplicably addictive multiplayer, I’ve [...]

The relative difficulty of typing something on the page of a blank screen with a blinking cursor as a guide may be a daunting task, as Timothy exemplified in his [...]

It’s one thing to just have fun with a game by shooting random zombies or doing shweet trix off a mountain with an indestructible snowboard, but it’s another thing to be [...]

Our eGamer Awards may have already happened but now I feel it’s time to have another set of Awards, all to be handed out in this here column based purely on opinion and subjective thought. Why? The better question is why not?

In this day and age of gaming we are more and more susceptible to being the victims of horrible and lacklustre games. Do we deserve it? Yes and no. Yes, [...]

Straight up, I have a confession to make: I don’t actually have a clue what to talk about for this column. It’s kind of like a mild writer’s block, but [...]

Previously on Life, The Universe, And Gaming: Okay I really just wanted to start a column like that, at least once this year. At least it’s relevant this time! In [...]

Be honest, two months ago if I said that a game was coming out in a few months that would be a third-person open-world RPG that would be similar to [...]

In the previous feature, we discussed what gamers eat and how that may define them as a gamer. Now we face a more ‘integral’ question. One which I think resonates [...]

This question came about after a recent endeavour of mine that was discussed by Dean, myself and others in one of our famous Mumble troll sessions in the eGamer HQ [...]

Last week as many of you may have read by now, our very own Azhar “Tody” “Potato” Amien released an opinion column that discussed his views on the reasons why [...]

Foreword: Hello again, and welcome back to the only place on eGamer where gaming discussion dies a horrid death in the face of, well, nobody really knows what it is [...]

I’m sure you guys all remember the fateful November of 2011. Commonly hailed as ‘The Month of Gaming’ due to its high number of triple-A game releases, I have a [...]

Yeah, okay, so we’re not entirely on break. Well, everyone else is. I just felt like I had one more in me, before I took to enjoying my holiday as [...]

What’s this? A column that’s actually about gaming? From Cavie?! Have we stepped into some alternate universe or something? Is The Answer the same, here? I’ll give you all a [...]

Well here’s an interesting development… As far as you know through the beauty of encapsulation, this column has published as scheduled at 12:15 on the Monday that it was due [...]

Over the past few months, it’s become alarmingly apparent that there are actually people out there who enjoy my writing, and why wouldn’t they? I mean, let’s face it, I’m [...]
