Uncapped ADSL speed upgrade prices.

With South African gamers having to pay a premium for decent internet, it becomes necessary to review the cost of all the different packages out there every few months. Even if the substantial savings aren't important to you, the service provided by ISP's differ night and day, so it's always helpful to know exactly what it'll cost to jump ship.

As a regular user of the Steam platform, its interesting to see what games most of my fellow users are playing the most. I fall into the Dota 2, CoD MW3 and Skyrim category... i am however a bit surprised that Arma 2 isnt on there?? Its been top of the steam seller charts for a while now due to DayZ and there are so many servers and players at the moment its scary...
Take SA for example, we started off with one server graciously hosted by the NAG team and now we have 5 hosted between WAGE, Mweb, Nag and one other and all of them at most times are over half or nearly at full player capacity.
Will be interesting to see the next set of stats :D

in focusing on the three current most popular platforms, ie Xbox 360, PS3 and PC I was curious as to how our S.A sales compare to the U.S or the U.K. Not in how many games are sold but rather which games we find more worthy to buy. I mean yeah there's clearly the popular games such as Call of duty and Fifa and Diablo that will be found across the board but what I found surprising is that in S.A we had Kinect Star Wars as the best selling Xbox 360 game during May as theApril/May periods saw releases such as Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier,Sniper Elite V2, The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings, Prototype 2. Kinect star wars had a poor rating in general according to the critics with an overall score of 53.32% on gamerankings.com. Why as South Africans did we spend our money on this mediocre kinect title?? Is it the nostalgia of watching star wars as a kid and using the broom as a light saber, or maybe is it that we are so fascinated by kinect that we believe that the the idea of motion tracking is amazing enough no matter how crap the game is.. It could be the latter.. or it Could be both.. Who knows
 
Shameless game branding:
http://mygaming.co.za/news/hardware/37385-4-examples-of-shameless-game-branding.html

What a laugh! If anything, it gets little kiddies to tell their mom's that they will play better if they have them. I love online gaming, but its rather ridiculous how companies can brand games for the sake of boosting sales. I've learnt (the hard way) that game loyalty isn't everything. After supporting the CoD franchise for ages, I was recently exposed to BF3. What an amazing game, it just goes to show that sometimes just a little open-mindedness can expose you to an amazing array of video games.

This was the only article on the features first 2 pages which I actually looked at from the mygaming newsletter. So its only fitting I chose this one.
Basically I didn't believe it. For gaming they say IS is the best? I've always wanted to stay away from IS, although that was mainly for the throttling issues involved with being on their backbone. DSL, speed, latency comparison articles are fun to look at because it allows you to be informed about the current state of broadband in SA, which is a big thing in my life as I use the internet for everything, my home business, gaming etc.
