Fancy playing in online tournaments and entering competitions but don’t know how to go about it? Well, thanks to the efforts of Devon Stanton, aka koldFU5iON, and his partner DriftZilla they have created The Xbox Lounge to make online gaming easier for you.

The Xbox Lounge started as a community site covering all the usual aspects one would expect like news, forums and such. This was not enough for the tireless duo who wanted to create a unique experience and provide a top-notch service to the gaming community. The goal was straightforward yet a challenging one to solve. Create a site that makes it simple for people to communicate their desire to play a particular game at a specific time. Traditionally matches were being arranged through the gaming forums which could be cumbersome. This frustration presented the opportunity for improvement and after many design iterations they arrived at the “Match Creation” feature you can make use of today at The Xbox Lounge.

How it works?

Well it really is quiet simple to achieve and it all starts by navigating to www.thexboxlounge.co.za and looking for a match on the front page. If you cannot find a match that interests you or they are already full, you can create your own. It is as easy as choosing the game you want to play from a list and filling in some details. Now this is where the site does all the hard work and presents you with a form tailored to the game you selected, helping guide you through the process to achieve a sensible match set up.
