2upGamers’ recent Third Encounter event was a tremendously fun time - this much we already know - and gave the gamers of Cape Town (and two from Durban) a chance to meet, greet, eat and… beat one another in games of FIFA 12, Fight Night Champion and Need For Speed: The Run.
Third Encounter also gave Lisa and I the chance to meet (mostly for the first time) our fellow online gamers who we play Gears of War 3, Battlefield 3 and Uncharted 3 with - the perfect photo opportunity!
Photos from Bronwin October and Shaun Fourie
It was very exciting meeting all of you in person and we hope to continue to see you (READ: Destroy you) in games of Gears of War 3, Uncharted 3 and Battlefield 3 in the future!
