It’s been an action packed week in the world of gaming, with the most notable story being the ongoing saga between anonymous internet group Anonymous and Sony. Sony got on the bad side Anonymous when it took hacker George Hotz to court for releasing the security instructions for the PS3 early this year. As a result, the group has declared war against Sony.
Battlefield 3 has been given an unofficial release date, we caught up with local StarCraft II tournament organiser Polarfluke, and Ubisoft announced Annoy 2070. We also investigated the local WUG gaming scene in an interview with PTAWUG guy Dawie Joubert.
