Tiger Hunting by Gopal Sathe (first published in the Hindustan Times on December 20) http://www.break.com/games/tiger-woods-wife-outrun.html Flash games are practically the new political cartoon, and usually are a lot funnier than the often outdated humor which the cartoons carry, and certainly tend to be a lot less restrained. Tiger Woods joins a long list of worthies [...]
The best part about India and video games is you never know what to expect. Granted, we’ve seen movies and musicals advertised on buses and taxis in New York. But video games? On autorickshaws (read: the middle-class man’s clown car)? Never. Is this an official promotional tactic by Indian Playstation 3 distributor, Milestone Interactive? inFamous [...]
Microsoft India has let slip that on April 8th, they will make an announcement that will “revitalize the gaming industry” here. We initially thought they’d try to mirror Sony’s success with Hanuman: Boy Warrior (confounding gamers on a PS2 near you) – who’s up for an Ace Combat-offshoot of Garuda: Sky Warrior for the 360? [...]
by Ravi Sinha The gauntlet has been thrown. It’s one thing when anime-loving, Snake-hugging PS3 fanboys try to call us out on our cyborg with no name, face, personality, love-life or likable traits (he only needs one – ass kicking! Yeah!!). But this is going too far. Killzone 2 is blatantly better than Halo 3? [...]
It’s a big joke how Nintendo is marketing all sorts of trivial concepts into video games. How ironic is it that when you’d rather be inside playing video games, the Wii’s most successful game has you exercising? But just when it couldn’t have gotten better (or, predictably, much worse), Nintendo peddled Wii Music involving slightly [...]

Look at the sexed up Lara Croft and her transformation over the decades. Search for one hentai link of your favourite Japanese [...]
by Ravi Sinha Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. Because if there’s one thing that’s sustained the test of time and masochistic nostalgia, it’s video game commercials. No, we’re not talking about whiz-bang splendor cut and crafted to provoke a game purchase. We’re talking about the real-world of gaming commercials. You know, ads supposedly [...]
The gaming world is filled with promises. Some of which are delivered upon, and some which just fade away in to obscurity. To paraphrase the man, Now that President Obama has taken office, we’re about to see whether he can act on all those campaign promises he’s been touting for the last year or so. [...]
All mass media contributes but Japanese manga, while weird, often provides the most fitting inspirations for futuristic inventions. Take the case of the Chobits manga: A world inhabited by Persocoms, beautiful female androids of the teenage variety that do everything you ask. The manga did raise unsettling issues – Forget sex, what if you fell [...]
Does it pay to throw a shoe at the most powerful man in the developed world? Apparently, yes. Of the several Flash games that came out after the incident, one has been sold on Ebay. SockAndAwe, a flash game where one gets to throw a shoe at the President while he attempts to duck, was [...]
