Gamers in Bombay have a little bit of fun coming their way this weekend, as Sony is hosting a 48-hour gaming experience in Phoenix Mills, from 1pm – 9pm on both Saturday and Sunday. The entry is completely free for anyone interested and it sounds like it should be a lot of fun – the [...]
Update: It seems the song is question is one Tapha Niang, sung by Muslim African artist Toumani Diabate and released about two years ago as part of Boulevard De L’independence. The quotations themselves have also been identified: ‘kollo nafsin tha’iqatol mawt’: ‘Every soul shall have the taste of death’ ‘kollo man alaiha fan’: ‘All that [...]
by Ravi Sinha The Games Conference 2008 at Leipzig will be an event to remember… and in true expo disappointment fashion, one to loathe. For every hopeful announcement, there were at least one or two others that went morality hunting.

by Kuriakose Saju When they first appeared on the scene nearly six years ago, the duo were considered “one of the best games to be seen since consoles became polygonal.” It was the age of the PS2 and this particular shooter/ platformer deprived me of many hours of possible boredom.

by gSathe Chains of Olympus takes us into badass hero Kratos’ past, and for the most part provides a satisfyingly gory experience, with a story which, while it lacks the length and depth of the games on the PSPs bigger siblings, is still pretty entertaining. When you consider that the action is taking place on [...]
