nAvTV\u00a0 hosted its Greenstone-leg of the Mall Gaming Experience on 18 and 19 June.<\/p>\n

Shoppers had access to a variety of Playstation 4 titles (including Pro Evolution Soccer 2016, Driveclub and a wide variety of LEGO titles), could check out NAG and GES’s awesome cosplay competition, or just kick back in front of the big screen and watch some of South Africa’s best DOTA 2 teams battle it out for their shot at R150,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
