Who says playing Guitar Hero isn’t a serious pastime?
There are plenty of people who attended the recent South African final of the World Cyber Games 2010 Samsung Mobile Challenge who would disagree with you.
Winner AJ, for example, who won 500 US Dollars, a Gameloft Gift and a trip to LA for the global finals, all for rocking at a higher level of awesomeness than his competitors.
The 2nd place winner, Anesu, and 3rd place winner Matthew, who won 300 and 200 US dollars respectively, and each got a Gameloft Gift to boot, would agree that Guitar Heroes should be taken seriously…
Congratulations people! You make South Africa proud.

We have spoken at length on this blog about the new Samsung Wave.
You’re probably already in the know about its full touch Super Amoled screen, which offers the best viewing quality on a mobile ever.
Chances are you are also clued up on way the Wave uses Social Hub to bring all your social networks together in one, unified solution.
Maybe you’re even aware of how TouchWiz 3.0 takes Smartphone usability to the next level.
And it’s possible you’re even clued up on the Wave’s brand new OS, BADA, and the Samsung Apps store, which puts a wealth of games, navigation, social networking, e-book, health and lifestyle applications right at your fingertips.
There’s even a remote chance that you know that BADA means ‘wave’ in Korean.
Two nights ago I was pretty excited to download my very first AR game, ARDefender, from Samsung Apps. The game is surprisingly free for download despite its high quality and innovative technology.
The game requires a print-out from ardefender.com (see below).
Once the game launched, I simply pointed the phone's camera at the printout and voila - I was playing my first AR game and it's awesome!
See the attached video clip for a live demo.
Samsung Mobile is proud to be a sponsor of Android ZA Developer Day which is set to take place this Saturday (31 July 2010).
