Joystiq at rAge expo: in pictures
The only thing that South Africa's rAge has in common with the now defunct E3 is that it's consistently swarmed by gamers looking to discuss and absorb every aspect of their favorite hobby. It's not nearly as big and overwhelming as other international shows, but it's open to the public and largely driven by a dedicated community. As such, it's difficult to emerge from the expo with witty headlines and snarky stories -- for the most part, it's an outlet for South African distributors to show off their existing wares amidst a backdrop of furious LAN competitions. Indeed, the PC gaming LAN is labeled as the largest in Africa, ensnaring 1,200 players for 54 hours of sharpshooting, Thompson-esque training.With all of that firmly in mind, we present to you a selection of our favorite show snaps. Perhaps you'll find it interesting to see how similar (or different) gaming is on the other side of the world.
