in PreviewsDuke Nukem Forever preview
Today we were lucky enough to get hands-on with Duke Nukem Forever, courtesy of Brisbane's Mana Bar. The gameplay period was slim, being the forthcoming DNF demo, comprised of two playable levels. They included included the football field shoot-out, as seen at Firstlook, as well as an American desert sequence which featured a 4x4 drive and some intense on-foot action at an enemy stronghold....

in XboxMana Bar takes gaming and drinking along the East coast
Only 5 months ago did Australia's first gaming bar, Mana Bar, launch in Brisbane. I live a mere 30 seconds walk around the corner, and pass it each and every day to and from the train station. Unsurprisingly to me, it's always packed. The screens light up the bar with animated gaming ambiance and the button-mashing can be heard from the street.
What has been created here is an evolution and revitalisation of arcade culture, but without the need to insert coins. The promise and potential offered by such an establishment leaves any retro gamer that likes a drink all warm and fuzzy inside. As does the bourbon. Could we soon see the city streets of Australian capitals littered with like venues?

in XboxOzHadou and EVO tournament qualifiers in full swing
If you fancy yourself a bit of a fighter, and have been giving Super Street Fighter IV a good run-in, then you should probably get involved with one of the OzHadou tournament qualifiers running in your state during May. Brisbane's OzHadou final will be held at Australia's first and recently opened gaming lounge, Mana Bar, this Monday from 5pm. Even if you're not playing, come along for a drink and the spectacle. Head on over to OzHadou's tournament announcement forum for a full event listing and all of the details.
If the international spotlight is more your thing, there's always Evolution Asia-Pacific in Sydney in the final weekend of the month. You may even land yourself a paid flight to Las Vegas to represent the APAC region in SSF4 at EVO 2010. Of course, that's only if you like your chances going up against 2009 world champion, Daigo, who's flying to Sydney to compete in the same EVO APAC qualifying round. If you're not sure who Daigo is, view the video embed for a look at his most famous fight moment. Daigo fights as Ken in the clip, and you should pay close attention to his starting health and the fact it's a deciding round.... -
