rAge, which will take place in Johannesburg from the 3rd to the 5th of October at the Coca-Cola Dome in Northgate, is back for the 6th year in a row and is in a league of its own as South Africa's coolest interactive gaming and technology expo.

Technological advances mean gaming has become increasingly interactive and social, with people from across the financial and social scale becoming more interested in this entertaining pastime.

At rAge gamers (both professional and non-professional) are encouraged to not only attend the expo but to book a place at Africa's biggest LAN (Local Area Network).

The NAG LAN at rAge 2008 will see 1800 gamers all connected on the same network playing a variety of games 24-hours a day for three days solid. This is a truly awesome experience not only to participate in but also to see.

The closest visitors will get to see a similar set up is to visit international events — some of which are only accessible to those in the media or directly involved in the gaming industry.

This year at rAge, visitors are invited to participate in a gaming boot camp where professional gamers will coach newbie's and seasoned players on their technique and skills.

rAge will thrill visitors with the latest in PC and next-generation console gaming, computer hardware and software, accessories, mobile technology and digital lifestyle gear.

If that's not your cup of energy drink, then come for the comics and anime figurines, trading cards and board games, and sneak peeks at some of the hottest gadgets and gaming titles to be released in the upcoming months.
