Games, they’re more than great visuals and addictive feats of patience, they’re a social tool, despite what the naysayers and concerned mothers have to say. So, if you’re tired of fragging predictable computer AI and fancy a real challenge, why not have a look at some upcoming tournaments that Maingaming.co.za is sponsoring.

Its all happening at the Greenstone Shopping Mall in Joburg, so if you’re wanting some good old fashioned fun, and the chance to snap up some rewards, then maybe some of these competitions will interest you.

All right petrolheads, now is the time for you to shine. For 12 days, you’ll be able to race on the Suzuka track, with the 8 fastest competitors moving onto the grand final on the 9th of July.
